Top Donegal Walking Tours

An excellent walk with Sharon as part of Inishowen Walking Festival. A very wet day when we could only imagine the panaramic views turned into a Bog Safari on the Bulaba Way to Foxes Rock as Sharon shared her extensive knowledge of all things bog related including flowers, fauna and local history - I can highly recommend Sharon as a Guide if you are the person who likes to get the local flavour when you are travelling. 10/10.

Sharon at Solas Ireland Walks is a steadfast supporter of the social outreach and impact that we at Positive Steps Outdoors strive to deliver through our Healthy Hikes – connecting people with each other and the natural environment to promote positive mental wellbeing. She is a relaxed yet highly competent walk leader, with an impressive depth and breadth of knowledge of flora, fauna, local history and the landscape. She has a real ability to bring the outdoors to life, enthralling and entertaining participants while encouraging them to look, listen and engage with their surroundings. Sharon works hard to connect with everyone on our events, from young people to adults, and is particularly skilled at making those who are new to exploring the natural environment feel welcome, comfortable and at ease. Her impact speaks for itself. When we run repeat events for clients where Sharon has been involved, we consistently see increased attendance. That says a great deal about the positive experience she creates and the connection she builds with participants. We are delighted to have Sharon and Solas Ireland Walks as a valued supporter of Positive Steps Outdoors.

Excellent walk. Teresa was such a delightful tour guide. She’s very knowledgeable of Slieve League. The walk was breathtaking so beautiful.

This trip was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Our guide Sharon is the most friendly and knowledgeable person we could ever of asked for. The amazing history she gave us about Fort Dunree and the surrounding area was beyond belief, she even taught us about the beautiful vegetation which is unreal! The scenery is by far the most wonderful we have ever seen and the staff in the museum and coffee shop were first class. Today was one we will never forget as Sharon and all the other staff are phenomenal. Thank you so much Sharon, we are so happy to of met you today!

We enjoyed the group experience of walking to the cliffs, look out platform. It was a beautiful day with several places to stop and take pictures. It was fun to see the sheep up close also. We learned some of the folklore of the area. We also learned about one another in the group.!

Another fabulous walk with Sharon. Breathtaking views, saw seals and dolphins, a community garden, and learned about the past and present of the area. Highly recommended. She is very knowledgeable.

Sharon is just the sort of guide you want to meet on a hike: congenial, knowledgeable, patient, kind and thoughtful. We felt very safe with her at the helm and her appreciation and love of this extraordinary landscape is remarkable. Scenery like Donegal deserves to be savoured and with Sharon doing the showcasing, you can do so high up and with great memories to follow.

We spent a great few hours with Teresa. She met us at the visitor center right on time. We set off on the walk up to Slieve League. Not necessairly for the fainthearted!! On the way Teresa, who is from the area and seemed to know everyone, told us about the people from the area, local stories and the cliffs. Once we go to the cliffs the view was spectacular. It was warm with a clear sky and you could see forever. Highly recommend Teresa and the nice personalized tour.

Teresa took us on a leisurely walk from the visitor center, all the way to the look out point. She provided lots of history and background along the way. She clearly knows the area and adds context to every vista. By the end of the walk, Teresa felt like an old friend.

I had no idea that bogs could be so fascinating! Sharon shared so many interesting facts and has so much knowledge - I wouldn't hesitate to repeat the experience!

I loved every moment of this trip. Sharon is very knowledgeable about the area having grown up here. The scenery was breathtaking ❤️

Sharon was a wonderful guide. She is very knowledgeable of Fort Dunree plus the surrounding area and also has family connections to the Fort. I highly recommend her guided tour.

Recently did a tour with my sister. Teresa was so much and very knowledgeable. She told us all about the cliffs and the area. I highly recommend doing a tour. Local knowledge makes the experience more interesting.

A fabulous tour with a great guide. It's lovely to get a locals perspective. The folklore stories are great.

A lovely tour with a very friendly guide. It was a magnificent walk with fabulous views. I was so glad 😊

This was a fabulous experience. Sharon is very knowledgeable about the history of the area and the formation, development, importance, and ecology of bogs. Learned so much and also enjoyed stunning views of the mountains and Lough Swilly. Highly recommended.
