About the Tour
The view of Killary from the shore is certainly a spectacular one, but taking to the water here gives you a whole new perspective.
Our cruise starts at Nancy’s Point, just West of Leenane Village, on the South side of the Killary. From there we set off towards the the mouth of the Fjord.
Take in the panoramic views of the surrounding landscape – hills rising steeply from the silvery sea, with frequent shifts in light and shadow creating different colours on the peaks and valleys. Deep green fields and occasional stands of trees contrast with heathery bogs.
The fjord’s sheltered waters are perfect for mussel farming and you will see the ropes at several points on the fjord. You will also see some circular salmon farms, closer to the shore. Sheep dot the hills.
Towards the mouth of the fjord is a small island, which has a Victorian range marker on it. This is the point at which dolphins typically emerge if they are in the vicinity. They like to swim alongside the ship, offering spectacular views.
SUPERB SCENERY
“Spent a wonderfully relaxing afternoon travelling the length of the Fjord. The scenery is spectacular and the commentary informative. The food on board was good and the staff cheery. The children got to stand on the bridge with the captain and learn all about the boat. A great trip all round, certainly one to repeat.”
