バイキングウォーターフォードクルーズ
説明
ウォーターフォードはヴァイキングによって創設された。 彼らがこの川を選んだのには理由があり、水に上がればその理由がはっきりとわかる。 アイルランド最古の市民建築物であるレジナルズ・タワーを通り過ぎ、マルコムソンの造船所を通り過ぎ、かつて移民がニューファンドランド島行きに乗船したカナダ通りを下り、ウォーターフォード城に出てから河口を通って戻ります。 あなたのガイドは、都市を建設した北欧の入植者、それを奪ったノルマン人、クロムウェルの包囲、ほとんどの訪問者が聞くことのない2つの世界大戦からの静かな物語、そのすべてに命を吹き込みます。 ハイライト -アイルランド最古の市民ビル、レジナルズ・タワー -マルコムソンズ・ネプチューン造船所 -ニューファンドランド島への移民が乗船したカナダ通り -ウォーターフォード城とリトルアイランド -バイキング、ノルマン、クロムウェル、世界大戦史 -スイアー川河口の野生生物と生物多様性

旅程
1000 年以上前にヴァイキングによって建てられたレジナルズ タワーは、アイルランド最古の市庁舎です。ウォーターフォードのバイキング トライアングルの頂点に立つこの塔は、ストロングボウからクロムウェル、パーキン ウォーベック、ジェームズ 2 世など、多くの歴史的なエピソードの舞台となっています。
リトル アイランドには、西暦 6 世紀から 8 世紀にかけて修道院の集落が存在していました。この時代の修道士の頭の彫刻が、今日まで城の入り口に飾られています。バイキングは 9 世紀に到着し、ヴリク島「デーンの島」に 2 つの要塞が建設されました。次にノルマン人が侵入したのは 1170 年で、ストンボウのいとこであるモーリス・フィッツジェラルドは、征服中にオッサーマンによってリトルアイランドで捕虜になりました。その後、彼は正当な報酬として多くの土地を与えられ、こうしてこの島は 8 世紀にわたってキルデア伯爵の本拠地となることになりました。

Absolutely excellent so enjoyable. Highly recommend, guide John was a fountain of knowledge. Lovely touch of tea, coffee and surprise Irish Whisky!
Thanks Anne, great to have you onboard.
Very interesting tour along Waterford Quay. Short one hour fifteen minute tour for small groups. Our tour only had our party if four so it felt like a private tour. Johnnie was our guide and he provided us with a wealth of information regarding the people, places, wildlife etc relative to the area. The tea, coffee and refreshments provided by Captain Andy were a very welcome surprise. Around great experience.
Thanks John, great to have you onboard.
We enjoyed a pleasant, relaxed tour of the harbour noting buildings of historical interest. Captain Andy and Dave with guide Mary were genial hosts. We enjoyed our refreshments too - thank you! On a future visit, with more time available, we would like to have a longer tour. Thank you very much.
Thanks Mary, great to have you onboard and yes a longer tour can be arranged!!
We had St. Patricks greet us on board today! 😁 Great stories, history and views. Very friendly captain and guide! A lovely Irish coffee on the way back too! A chill way to spend the afternoon, highly recommend it!
Great to have you onboard, have a happy St. Patrick's Day.
Really lovely boat trip over Christmas break the family - we arrived on the boat and were so happy to find it was just ourselves . The captain had some lovely food laid out including treats for the girls and lovely Christmas cake - we had tea : juice’s and a little cheeky Irish whiskey which was so lovely on a bright but cold Irish day - also loved that there were blankets and life jackets for the 12year olds so felt super safe We were also blessed to see a pod of dolphins playing away which really made the girls holiday - we will definitely book again
Great to have you onboard Gill

Great to have you onboard Lindsey
I contacted Andrew very last minute to see whether it was possible for a trip on the last day of our holiday. Communication was excellent and Andrew and his co-pilot were so friendly and welcoming. On the trip, Andrew gave us so much information about the area and we were treated to an array of wildlife, including herons, cormorants and terns. We even saw (at least one, maybe two) seal. Andrew had laid out snacks and we had a hot drink on the way back. The boat was really comfortable and we felt so welcome. When we come back up the area, we will definitely plan another trip. Thank you so much!
Great to have you on board, have a safe trip home!
Wonderful experience Johnny was great! We saw dolphins seal and beautiful castle photo op as well as wildlife, we’d love to come back in the summer
Thanks Heather, enjoy the rest of your vacation and good luck to the Pittsburgh Steelers this season!!
