Customer Reviews
We had a lovely journey for one hour. It was so cosy with a stove and outside space with Prosecco and nice pints. Also great for the two year old who had a blast
Great trip with a group of 11. Loved the wood burning stove, full bar, scenery seeing herons flying close by. Highly recommend with a group and family, kids etc.
We had a wonderful family morning on the barge. We were lucky with the weather and could sit outside and enjoy the tranquility of the canal and the nature around us. The canal ride is accompanied by stories from the guide, however, we were sitting at the front of the boat and could not hear much. We had a stop at the Leinster Aquaduct and it was very informative to hear its history. The children also really enjoyed watching the process of crossing to a higher level of the canal and the crew handled the demonstration very professionally. The boat is not big, but cozy and clean. The toilets are also in good condition. The barge has a bar with a variety of different drinks.
