Journey to Ireland's most northerly point — the wild, cinematic Malin Head (a Star Wars filming location) — via the ancient hillfort of Grianán of Aileach and the dramatic Inishowen coastline. A private luxury vehicle and expert guide make this seamless.
What to expect
Leaving Killybegs, your guide steers north through Donegal Town and up through the Inishowen Peninsula — Ireland's largest. You pause at the Grianán of Aileach, a 2,000-year-old stone ring fort perched on a hilltop with panoramic views across three counties. Continuing north, the landscape turns increasingly rugged until you reach Malin Head, where Atlantic swells crash against basalt stacks used as a backdrop in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Lunch at a recommended local restaurant is included in the itinerary.
Good to know
This is a long full-day — approximately 9 hours — so confirm your all-aboard time carefully. Grianán of Aileach has free open access year-round. Malin Head is very exposed; a windproof layer is essential. Book 6+ weeks ahead in peak season (June–August).
