Paseo en barco por el puerto de Kinsale y el río Bandon

Highly recommend Brian and this boat trip. He was so easy to deal with for booking and accommodating our group. Lovely trip and he was so full of fun and stories on the way round. The little doggy was an added bonus on board

What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning in Kinsale. You see so much from the water. Brian was a brilliant captain, fun, knowledgeable, and knew so much about the area. We booked the tour for just us and two friends, and Brian was very flexible as to what we did and where we went. We started our tour going up the river and then came back down into town and out into the harbour. We tried our hand at fishing for some mackerel but were unlucky, then we checked a lobster pot. Unfortunately no lobsters but quite a few crabs. We were very lucky to see a dolphin when coming back down the river which was an unexpected surprise. Would highly recommend Brian, his boat, and the company of his two lovely little dogs. 5* trip, the best way to explore Kinsale.

What an incredible experience. Not only is Captain Brian fun, funny and knowledgeable about the Kinsale area, he is EXCEEDINGLY flexible. I accidentally booked a non-refundable tour for my family through Viator for the wrong day (when we wouldn't even be in Ireland any longer!!) and he moved around his entire evening to accommodate. It was a highlight afternoon spent on the water and I can't thank him enough for his flexibility. The ability to hang out on the lovely boat with first mate Alfie and fish was incredible. Highly, highly recommend!

I took a couple i had on tour with Brian, it was such fun. We all lived it, grest way to see Kinsale

If you’re visiting Kinsale and want something that captures the magic of this place, book a tour with Kinsale Wellness on Water! We’ve now done the tour with Brian five different times because every time family or friends come to visit us since moving to Kinsale, this is the first thing we book. Without fail, it becomes everyone’s favorite part of their trip. Yes, the harbor itself is stunning, the history, the coastline, the view of Kinsale, all of it is exactly what you hope Ireland will feel like. But honestly, what makes the experience so special is Brian. When people come to Ireland, they’re not just coming for the scenery. They’re coming for the people, the stories, the humor, the warmth, and the personality that make Ireland unforgettable. Brian absolutely has all of that. He’s funny, wise, welcoming, incredibly knowledgeable, and just one of those people you instantly feel comfortable around. And then there’s Alfie, his dog, who somehow manages to make the whole experience even better. The tour itself is packed with little moments that make it feel unique and authentic, dropping a line in the water for fish, checking lobster pots if you’re lucky, hearing stories about the harbor and local history, and just slowing down enough to really take it all in. It never feels overly touristy. It feels real. We honestly couldn’t recommend it more highly. If you want to experience the real heart and soul of Kinsale, this is it.

We had the best day out on the harbour! Brian is hands down the best tour guide we've ever had. He knows every nook and cranny in Kinsale like the back of his hand, and he kept us entertained with wild stories and secret local facts that im sure you wouldnt find in any guidebook! We finished the day fishing out by the bulman buoy and we were only delighted to catch a few mackerel. Couldn't recommend this boat tour enough, do yourself a favour and book yourself in for a trip if you visit Kinsale. You won't be disappointed!

We had such a great time with Brian and Alfie. We were a group of 8 including 2 seniors and 4 young kids. He did an amazing job navigating the waters and making it fun for all. Do not hesitate to book this tour!

Captain Brian and First Mate Alfie are the best! We recently stayed in Kinsale for 5 days with great friends and the entire trip was filled with stories of the past, laughs, and new memories!! The highlight was the sunny morning spent on Kinsale Harbor with Brian and Alfie. Brian has an amazing story telling ability but it was his love of Kinsale and sea that connected with us. Alfie provided lots of cuddles and made sure we all felt safe. Thank you Captain Brian and Alfie!!!

I highly recommend Brian for a trip in Kinsale. Great fun from start to end. Brian is so knowledgeable about Kinsale past and present and kept us entertained. Loved every second of this trip.

What a fantastic experience from start to finish! Brian and Alfie gave us an unforgettable day exploring the beautiful waters around Kinsale. From checking the lobster pots to trying our hand at fishing, every moment was hands-on, fun, and informative. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and Brian’s local stories brought the landscape to life in such a personal and authentic way. You can tell Brian genuinely loves what he does and takes pride in sharing it with others. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Kinsale – it was truly a highlight of our trip!
