Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Kaptajnen og besætningen er ikke kun havets navigatører, men landets historiefortællere. De bringer legenderne, historien og naturlige vidundere på Valentia Island til live, hvilket gør din tur til en virkelig fordybende oplevelse.
Oplev fra vandkanten et kloster fra det 6. århundrede på Church Island, som blev brugt af Skelligs munke omgivet af Valentia Harbours sikkerhed. Fortsæt derefter med at lære om vikingens invasion af Skelligkysten, som derefter udviklede en landsby på den nærliggende Beginish Island, hvor ruiner er tilbage i dag.
Med fart kan du beundre slottet fra floden Cahersiveen for at blive transporteret tilbage i tiden, til da de høje konger af Irland byggede deres mægtige slotte og kæmpede blodige kampe for at beholde deres land.
Efter den fantastiske udsigt over den majestætiske kystlinje på Beginish Island og Valentia, vil kaptajnen derefter lede turen til de hvide vægge i Valentia Island Lighthouse. Oprindeligt et Cromwellan Fort, men i dag et fungerende fyrtårn, har dette hjørne af øen med udsigt over Dingle Bay historier, der går tilbage til det 17. århundrede og før. Sid og se bølgerne slå ned på klipperne nedenfor, mens du lytter til historierne om skibsvrag, pirater og mere.
Den sidste del af havneeventyret glider gæster forbi kystlandsbyen Knightstown village, som engang var en travl havnefront med driften af det transatlantiske telegrafkabel, der blev lagt fra Valentia Harbour til kysten af Newfoundland, Canada i 1866. Oplev, hvordan to mænd kom sammen for at ændre verden og kommunikation, der endelig satte den lille ø Valentia på kortet for altid.

A really worthwhile tour, seeing Valentia and surrounding islands from the sea. Elizabeth and Brendan were wonderful guides and gave a warm , fun and informative tour . Also the boat was great, meticulously clean and polished and the ride was fabulously comfortable, even on the Atlantic swell, due to Brendan'sBrill calm and experienced piloting. We will return to have another trip with you and hopefully get to Skellig Micheal on next attempt.
Had an amazing few hours out on the boat with Brendan. Throughly enjoyable. Brendan couldn't of been more friendly and helpful. Our 3 children had a fabulous time aswell and got to know so much more about Valentica and see parts from the boat we always wanted to see before but never got a chance or opportunity to see. Best part of our stay and great experience. Thank you Brendan.
We had a wonderful experience with Brendan as our captain and guide. He had a fantastic local and historical knowledge pertinent to the trip and shared it in an easy casual manner. We enjoyed his company and will definitely plan another trip next year. The boat was extremely comfortable and added to our positive experience.highly recommend Aqua Terra.
The boat tour was fantastic. We originally planned on taking the Skellig Michael tour, but the weather didn't cooperate. We did the Valentia Island tour instead and it was fun. Elizabeth is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of interesting history about the islands. The boat is very comfortable and covered.
We took the Valentia harbour trip last week with a group of friends in Brendan’s very comfortable modern boat with covered seating ( important given potential for rain!) . We all enjoyed the great snippets of local history from monastic to viking settlements through to the cable station story from our guide Elizabeth As we rounded the headland a colony of guillemots and kittiwakes perched on the cliff face came into view - a truly amazing sight and an undoubted highlight of the trip! Seals basking on Beginis Island rounded our tour off perfectly Would thoroughly reccomend it

We had a lovely afternoon on the aqua terra Valentia Island experience. Brendan is very knowledgeable and great to share local history. Seeing the caves and the rock formations, and church island were a high light. The boat is beautiful, a fab experience all round.

Top of the range glass covered boat so we got protection and still the views. Both Brendan and Elizabeth were so friendly and cheerful on arrival. Great safety advice and help with life jackets at the beginning. Elizabeth's knowledge of the area and history was outstanding, delivered clearly and with humour. Brendan the skipper, having been born on the island also told some local stories and pointed out areas of interest. An amazing trip...would highly recommend this company for this trip or to The Skelligs.
