Reiseverlauf
Der Kapitän und die Mannschaft sind nicht nur Seefahrer, sondern auch Geschichtenerzähler des Landes. Sie erwecken die Legenden, die Geschichte und die Naturwunder von Valentia Island zum Leben und machen Ihre Tour zu einem wirklich umfassenden Erlebnis.
Entdecken Sie vom Wasser aus ein Kloster aus dem 6. Jahrhundert auf Church Island, das von den Mönchen von Skellig im sicheren Valentia Harbour genutzt wurde. Erfahren Sie anschließend mehr über die Invasion der Wikinger an der Küste von Skellig, die daraufhin auf der benachbarten Insel Beginish ein Dorf gründeten, von dem heute noch Ruinen zu sehen sind.
Bewundern Sie bei hoher Geschwindigkeit die Burg vom Fluss Cahersiveen aus und fühlen Sie sich zurückversetzt in die Zeit, als die Hochkönige Irlands ihre mächtigen Burgen erbauten und blutige Schlachten um die Verteidigung ihrer Ländereien schlugen.
Nach der atemberaubenden Aussicht auf die majestätische Küste von Beginish Island und Valentia führt der Kapitän die Tour dann zu den weißen Mauern des Leuchtturms von Valentia Island. Einst ein Fort von Cromwell, heute ein funktionierender Leuchtturm, birgt diese Ecke der Insel mit Blick auf die Dingle Bay Geschichten aus dem 17. Jahrhundert und davor. Setzen Sie sich und beobachten Sie, wie die Wellen gegen die Felsen unter Ihnen schlagen, während Sie den Geschichten von Schiffbrüchen, Piraten und mehr lauschen.
Der letzte Teil des Hafenabenteuers führt die Gäste am Küstendorf Knightstown vorbei, das einst ein geschäftiges Hafengebiet war, als das transatlantische Telegrafenkabel in Betrieb war, das 1866 von Valentia Harbour bis an die Küste von Neufundland in Kanada verlegt wurde. Entdecken Sie, wie zwei Männer zusammenkamen, um die Welt und die Kommunikation zu verändern und die kleine Insel Valentia schließlich für immer auf die Landkarte zu bringen.

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.
