Itinerario
El capitán y la tripulación no son sólo navegantes del mar sino narradores de la tierra. Dan vida a las leyendas, la historia y las maravillas naturales de la isla Valentia, haciendo de su recorrido una experiencia verdaderamente inmersiva.
Descubra desde la orilla del agua un monasterio del siglo VI en Church Island, que fue utilizado por los monjes Skelligs rodeados por la seguridad del puerto de Valentia. Luego, continúe aprendiendo sobre la invasión vikinga de la costa de Skellig, quienes luego desarrollaron una aldea en la vecina isla de Beginish, donde hoy quedan ruinas.
Admire a toda velocidad el castillo desde el río de Cahersiveen y será transportado al pasado, cuando los Grandes Reyes de Irlanda construyeron sus poderosos castillos y libraron sangrientas batallas para conservar sus tierras.
Siguiendo las impresionantes vistas de la majestuosa costa de la isla Beginish y Valentia, el capitán dirigirá el recorrido hacia las paredes blancas del faro de la isla Valentia. Originalmente un fuerte de Cromwell, pero hoy en día un faro en funcionamiento, este rincón de la isla con vistas a la bahía de Dingle tiene historias que se remontan al siglo XVII y antes. Siéntate y observa las olas rompiendo contra las rocas mientras escuchas las historias de naufragios, piratas y más.
La última parte de la aventura por el puerto lleva a los visitantes más allá del pueblo costero de Knightstown, que alguna vez fue un bullicioso paseo marítimo con la operación del cable telegráfico transatlántico que se tendió desde el puerto de Valentia hasta las costas de Terranova, Canadá, en 1866. Descubra cómo dos hombres se unieron para cambiar el mundo y la comunicación que finalmente puso a la pequeña isla de Valentia en el mapa para siempre.

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.
