Join our Donegal branch on a trip to Fanad.

The Fanad Peninsula is located in north Donegal and contains some of the finest scenery in the northwest. The origins of the name Fanad are lost in time thought there is some speculation that the name derives from an old Gaelic word Fana for “sloping ground”

You may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of cetaceans, such as fin whale, minke whale, orcas, dolphins or porpoise. There are many seabirds, shorebirds and birds of prey to be seen here, as well as endangered species like the corncrake, with its distinctive call.

**** Meet in the visitor centre car park at 10am ****
