Join us for the 2.5-hour cruise through Digby Lock to experience the workings of an eighteenth-century canal lock. Your Skipper and Guide will give you a unique insight into the life, history, and biodiversity of the Grand Canal as it winds through the county Kildare countryside.
Kildare is known as the Canals County with 120 km of still waters crossing its landscape and linking its towns and villages.
Our barge is a lovingly restored traditional canal barge that is licensed to carry 12 passengers. It has a spacious comfortable interior with a wood-burning stove, on-board bar service, and outdoor seating areas.
Feel free to bring some snacks.

5.00We arrived at requested time of 9.50am and were greeted by Chris, our skipper for the day and were boarded onto the beautiful narrow boat we would be sailing on. The barge is well equipped with a toilet, indoor and outdoor seating, a bar with bottles and a tap with lager on draft as well as complimentary tea and coffee. The journey is extremely smooth and we were entertained by a hugely knowledgeable Chris who told us so many interesting things about the canal and creatures and vegetation living in it. Experiencing the Lock being opened to allow the boat rise onto the next part of the canal as we continued our journey was brilliant and a fabulous piece of engineering. There are so many other things we enjoyed so would highly recommend it. We had food afterwards in Lock 13 bar and restaurant which was really nice too.

5.00It is a great experience. The father and son crew are so kind and explained the history of the canal and lock and what we were seeing in the countryside. If you are staying in Dublin it is a short train ride to Sallins and Naas and there are several pubs/restaurants in the area. We went to Locke 13. I highly recommend that place as well.
One of the highlights of our trip!

5.00This barge ride was one of the highlights of our trip and definitely worth the train ride from Dublin. It was raining when we boarded but the sun shone brightly as we approached the lock. So beautiful. The staff was lovely and so knowledgeable. Gave us so much history and information. I can’t say enough good things! Thanks so much for such a wonderful few hours!
