Informative, fun

This is a lovely way to spend one and a half hours sightseeing on Lough Ree on the Accesss for all boat. The Access for all building at the dockside where you confirm your booking and can have a coffee with outdoor seating is lovely with a majestic view of the River Shannon it gets you ready for the boating experience ahead. The boat speaks for itself the staff on board are very friendly and share all their knowledge and information on all aspects of Lough Ree with its various islands and bird wildlife. There is an abundance of bird life to be seen if you want to immerse yourself in nature as you float on the water admiring your surroundings just relaxing taking it all in then this is a must do trip. An excellent initiative well worth supporting it is one I would highly recommend with family and friends.
