Welcome to BoatTrips.ie
For an outdoor adventure for all the family, take a Open-Boat trip on the beautiful river Barrow. Suitable for everyone from the very young, to the young at heart, our trips will leave you feeling renewed and relaxed. Take time to immerse yourself in nature and to experience life as it was for the river folk of a bygone era.
There is something for all the family. Kids will enjoy spotting all manner of wildlife such as kingfishers, otters, dragon flies and the shoals of fish as they glide past the boat. For those with a busy lifestyle, its the perfect occasion to switch off the mobile phone and relax inches above the waterline, unwinding to a more soothing pace of life. Hear folktales and stories of the boatmen that worked the Barrow, their superstitions around Bestfield's haunted lock and the local faeries.
Throughout your trip, you will be completely surrounded by the unspoiled natural habitat of Ireland's second largest and slowest river, while witnessing up close the wildlife that make the river Barrow their home.
