Description

The tour begins after about 20 minutes at Hag’s Head and circles back, passing the sea cave featured in 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince', a dramatic sea arch, and the famous surfing spot ‘Aill na Searrach’. You will also see O'Brien's Tower and the An Branán Mór sea stack, home to Ireland’s largest mainland bird colony.
