Waterford is Ireland’s Oldest City and the estuary played a pivotal role in it. It was the estuary that acted as a gateway for the early Viking settlers. Norman and Cromwellian conquests also feature strongly in local history as do events from both World Wars. The Port of Waterford was a significant international port for many years and there is a wealth of history to be discovered. The river and estuary are also vibrant bio-diversity habitats with a range of flora, fauna and aquatic life.

I contacted Andrew very last minute to see whether it was possible for a trip on the last day of our holiday. Communication was excellent and Andrew and his co-pilot were so friendly and welcoming. On the trip, Andrew gave us so much information about the area and we were treated to an array of wildlife, including herons, cormorants and terns. We even saw (at least one, maybe two) seal. Andrew had laid out snacks and we had a hot drink on the way back. The boat was really comfortable and we felt so welcome. When we come back up the area, we will definitely plan another trip. Thank you so much!

Would highly recommend this boat trip. We discovered a lot of history that we didn’t know about .And a visit from a family of dolphins made it extra special

It was very interesting with a lot of laughs. We loved it. We learned a lot about the connection to our country Canada too.

Johnny was brilliant today, we had a lovely family trip out on the boat. Weather was beautiful, plenty of snacks onboard and lots for the kids to see, the dolphins were a bonus swimming up so close to the boat. I would highly recommend this boat trip.

Really informative, great fun, tea and biscuits and we were lucky to see some friendly dolphins. Lovely way to pass an hour or so.

It was a great trip and I highly recommend. John gave a great insight into the history around the river. The had coffee and snacks on board and added entertainment for children. We were not very lucky with the weather but there was a canopy on the boat to keep us dry in the showers. We got great views of Waterford Castle and the Island. Captain Andy made sure that we were all safe whilst driving the boat. Definitely a great trip for young and old.

Fun, great talk and very reasonable price. Great trip on the main river in Waterford and close to the center of town so it is easy to marry this together with other sights
