There has never been a better time to get on the water in Cork Harbour. Three recent additions to the Harbour Tourism arsenal spring immediately to mind.
Firstly, Michael Martin’s hugely successful guided walking tours of Spike Island will operate on a daily basis from Monday, 27th June, departing at 2 p.m. from Kennedy Pier, Cobh This is a new arrangement in addition to the current weekend tours on Saturday’s and Sunday’s. The Spike Island guided walking tours commenced last summer and Michael Martin has bought this new heritage attraction to the fore of Trip Advisor in a very short time. It now ranks 2nd of 64 attractions in Cork.

Secondly, Cork Harbour Sight Seeing tours is a new venture operating in Cork Harbour. They offer a tour on board the ‘Spirit of the Isles’ ferry departing from Penrose Quay in the city and destined for Kennedy Pier in Cobh. Each trip takes just over an hour, and is accompanied by a full narration from the crew. Expect local humour and plenty of historical and ecological observations. Tickets are extremely good value at only €9.99 per adult. The ‘Spirit of the Isles’ can be chartered if you want to tailor your own trip.

Finally for those who enjoy a faster pace of life, there is Cork Sea Safari Tours. They operate fun and informative harbour tours under the headings of ‘Grand Harbour Adventure’, ‘Dolphin Discovery’, ‘Kinsale by Sea Safari’, and the ‘BBQ’, which combines two great Cork passions- being on the water and food! Tours last between 2 and 4 hours and are guaranteed to set the pulse racing. Tours depart daily from Lapps Quay in Cork City.
