At the top of Northeast Donegal is Inishowen, Ireland's largest peninsula. On this Wild Atlantic Way tour, I'll show you around part of the peninsula's 100-mile coastal drive known as the 'Inishowen 100'. On your journey, you'll see the glacial fjord, Lough Swilly, which inspired the hymn 'Amazing Grace'. You'll learn the ancient celestial secrets of Grianan of Aileach ring fort, seat of power of the chieftains of Ulster. I'll recount the tragedy of the SS Laurentic and its undiscovered gold near Fort Dunree. You'll travel through the nerve-racking Mamore Gap and defy physics on the 'Magic Road'. A visit to Doagh Famine Village will have you step back in time, hearing how life used to be in the area. Your day culminates in a galaxy far, far away by reaching Malin Head, Ireland's most Northerly point and the filming location of Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi. The tour is in a fun, relaxed manner, with plenty of jokes, tall tales and the odd song too!

We did two days of tours with Henry and he exceeded our expectations in every way! He’s very informative, friendly, and also gave us so much helpful information for our days we’d be in Ireland after the tour with him and for my next visit to Ireland. Henry’s tours are the best way to get to know Donegal!

No words can describe the views, you have to see this for yourself. Truly amazing. Well worth the drive.

Henry Doohan is the consummate tour guide. Friendly, informative, funny, thoughtful. Think of him as the best “friend of a friend” imaginable. Sharing his van for a day was delightful from start to finish. We selected the Inishowen Peninsula Tour, Option C and visited Grianán of Aileach, Fort Dunree, Mamore Gap, Malin Head and Doane Famine Village. With Henry as our guide we learned the context of what we saw and experienced. The Doane Famine Village was a particular delight as it included a “live” wake, bringing out many Irish celebrating and remembering this custom with customary poitín, served in a small plastic glass. Hoo-ha! Very refreshing to visit a living demonstration village that is family-run and deliberately so. Just driving through Ireland’s countryside was worth every minute. As we departed Derry by train, we visited with an Irish gentleman across the aisle and spoke of our tour through the Inishowen Peninsula. His eyebrows were raised in surprise and delight as he remarked that few tourists visit that area. Exactly!
