We had a nice trip on Donegal Waterbus. It was pleasant to experience Donegal Bay on the water. We did feel that it could have been a far better experience however. The sound system was not sufficiently loud enough to be heard over the sound of the engines and water. This could be improved. The staff seemed pleasant but not particularly interested or enthusiastic about making the trip special for tourists.

Interesting tour of the bay. Knowledgeable staff. Was a chilly day, but there was plenty of room inside. Had to go to the top deck for photographs of the scenery.

Beautiful scenery and a very informative guide telling us all about the bay. He also plays the keyboard, sings and cracks jokes throughout but sure you're in Ireland and it's all part of the craic.
