A Memorable Trip Across Generations! - Being a Kerry native, it's easy to take for granted the gems right in our backyard. So, taking a cue from that, our family, spanning three generations (ages 3 to 60's) - decided to embark on the Valentia Island Tour. I have to say, it was an experience that will stay etched in our memories for years to come. From the get-go, the attention to detail was apparent. The provision of blankets was a thoughtful touch that kept us warm and dry, a genuine comfort, especially with the unpredictable weather we occasionally face! Our guide, Elizabeth, was a veritable fountain of knowledge. Her ability to adapt our route, skirting an oncoming raincloud, was indicative of her professionalism. Super impressed! A special highlight was watching my toddler nephew getting a chance to "drive" the boat. His joy and laughter were infectious, and it became a moment the entire family cherished. The breathtaking views, and little history lessons made the 90 minutes fly by. For both locals and visitors alike, I can state without hesitation that the Valentia Island Tour is an absolute must-do! This tour has our wholehearted recommendation.

Excellent Valentia Harbour tour - Our tour guide Elizabeth had in-depth knowledge of the history of Valentia and the islands in the harbour. She also showed photos of the archaeology which were fascinating. The boat was very accessible, padded seats and blankets when it got windy. Skipper Pat led us expertly around the islands in the harbour and also up to Caherciveen. Well worth it.

Valentia island - This boat trip was just brilliant. From the moment we met the crew to leaving. Friendly, so knowledgeable, good banter and so lovely to my three little ones 6, 3 & 2 years. Very safe, the kids had an absolute ball as did we. Thank you so much for a lovely boat trip 🥰

Definitely worth doing! - Absolutely wonderful tour of the harbors of Valentia and Cahersiveen. Elizabeth was very knowledgeable about all the local history and we learned many things. It was so interesting to see places (we have seen from the road) from a different vantage point.
