Waterford was founded by Vikings. They chose this river for a reason, and once you're on the water you'll see exactly why.
Sail past Reginald's Tower, the oldest civic building in Ireland, past Malcolmson's shipyard, down Canada Street where emigrants once boarded for Newfoundland, and out to Waterford Castle before turning back through the estuary. Your guide brings it all to life, the Norse settlers who built the city, the Normans who took it, Cromwell's siege, the quieter stories from two World Wars that most visitors never hear.
Highlights
- Reginald's Tower, Ireland's oldest civic building
- Malcolmson's Neptune Shipyard
- Canada Street, where emigrants boarded for Newfoundland
- Waterford Castle and Little Island
- Viking, Norman, Cromwellian and World War history
- Wildlife and biodiversity of the River Suir Estuary

Cần Quan Tâm
Reginald's Tower
Built by the Vikings over a thousand years ago Reginald's Tower is Irelands oldest civic building. Standing at the apex of Waterford's Viking Triangle the tower features in many historical episodes from Strongbow to Cromwell, Perkin Warbeck, King James II and many more.
Waterford Castle Golf Club
A monastic settlement existed on Little Island from the 6th to the 8th Century A.D. A carving of a monk’s head from this period adorns the castle entrance to this day. The Vikings arrived in the 9th century and two fortifications were constructed on Island Vryk ‘Dane’s Island’. The Normans came next invading in 1170 and Maurice Fitzgerald, Stongbow’s cousin, was held prisoner on Little Island by the Ossermen during the conquest. He was duly rewarded with much land in the aftermath and thusly the island would become home to the Earls of Kildare for eight centuries.

4.00Very interesting tour along Waterford Quay. Short one hour fifteen minute tour for small groups. Our tour only had our party if four so it felt like a private tour. Johnnie was our guide and he provided us with a wealth of information regarding the people, places, wildlife etc relative to the area. The tea, coffee and refreshments provided by Captain Andy were a very welcome surprise. Around great experience.

5.00We enjoyed a pleasant, relaxed tour of the harbour noting buildings of historical interest. Captain Andy and Dave with guide Mary were genial hosts. We enjoyed our refreshments too - thank you! On a future visit, with more time available, we would like to have a longer tour. Thank you very much.

5.00Really lovely boat trip over Christmas break the family - we arrived on the boat and were so happy to find it was just ourselves . The captain had some lovely food laid out including treats for the girls and lovely Christmas cake - we had tea : juice’s and a little cheeky Irish whiskey which was so lovely on a bright but cold Irish day - also loved that there were blankets and life jackets for the 12year olds so felt super safe We were also blessed to see a pod of dolphins playing away which really made the girls holiday - we will definitely book again
Excellent trip with history fact gems!

5.00I 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!
Lovely
