Donegal Airport Flying Experiences

Aerphort Dhun Na nGall - better known as Donegal Airport - is situated on the very edge of the north west coast of Ireland, lying about an hour and a half from Strabane to the south west, and the border with Northern Ireland, first opening to passenger flights in the mid 1980s.

Donegal sits on the longest stretch of coastline along the Wild Atlantic Way, but also of any county in Ireland. Surrounded by water and breathtaking natural scenery, such impeccable natural beauty deserves to be explored from a bird's eye view, and we are proud to offer some spectacular flying experiences from this corner of the Emerald Isle.

Helicopter Sightseeing Rides from Donegal Airport

We have special Ireland themed Helicopter Rides, that take off from a number of aerodromes and aerospaces in the country, Donegal Airport included. You can take your pick from a 20 km, 45 km or a 75 km version of this unique Helicopter Tour.

And whichever length of this aerial sightseeing tour you opt for, you're guaranteed to see the rugged charm of this corner of Ireland as you never have before.

Amongst the many sights you'll see - all of which will be pointed out to you by the pilot over your intercom headset - are the two sea loughs of Lough Swilly and Lough Foyle, some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe, Slieve League, the lighthouse at Fanad Head, and Tory Island, steeped in ancient mythology and Celtic legends.

Wanting a helicopter ride that's that bit more luxe for a special occasion? No problem. The Blue Skies Helicopter Flights packages for One or Two are fantastic, because no matter what the occasion you're celebrating - birthdays, Christmas, even St Patrick's Day - not only will you be taking in the aerial views of Donegal with a loved one, you'll also be saying "Slainte" and toasting the flight with a complimentary glass of bubbly once you're back on the ground!

Booking Helicopter Rides from Donegal Airport

Booking your next flying experience at Donegal Airport is simple. You can either purchase an open Gift Voucher to use towards any of the experiences you see listed above, or book for a dated voucher from our regularly updated Dates Calendar.

Once your date has been booked, you will be sent confirmation from the experience day host who will make all the last few arrangements with you directly.

It's also worth noting that all flying experiences are dependent on weather conditions, so at times, these may need to be rescheduled, but rest assured, you will be contacted by the host regarding this in the event of this happening.

Terms and Conditions for Donegal Airport

Once you order a voucher, it will be dispatched by one of our agency partners by e-voucher or by post, depending on which you choose when you checkout.

Vouchers are valid until the expiry date shown on your Voucher (typically 10-12 months).

In most cases, once you activate your voucher you will be sent the instructions to redeem the voucher directly with the airfield or operator. Because flying experiences (other than simulators) can only take place in suitable/ safe weather conditions, you must be prepared to be flexible on your activity date. If the agent or operator cancels your experience date, they will inform you as soon as possible and do their very best to offer an alternative date or location. Once a specific date has been booked, you will automatically become bound by the terms and conditions that the individual operator may have. This does not affect your statutory rights.

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the descriptions contained on our products are a true reflection of the experience, these do not form part of a contract. If on contacting the operator you feel that the activity taking place no longer accurately represents the activity purchased, the relevant agent will exchange the voucher or refund the purchase price.
