Take a trip with Ocean Escapes

A sporty excursion that reveals the secrets of Cork Bay!

Excursions start from several locations:

  • Cork
  • Cobh
  • Crosshaven
  • Monkstown
  • and Aghada

The boats on which you embark can accommodate from 5 to around 20 people (excluding the driver), and are equipped with all the obligatory safety devices.

Ocean Escapes offers 3 types of tours:

  • The Harbour Tour: lasting 1 hour 50 minutes, you’ll take a grand tour of the bay, taking in the most beautiful beaches, harbors and cliffs on the coast.
  • The Evening Experience: this one-hour tour takes place just before dusk, so you can admire the bay at sunset. Enjoy a drink by the fire in a local bar after the ride.
  • The Sea Thrill: much shorter (just 20 minutes), you’ll climb aboard a boat equipped with a 150-horsepower engine, and take on the cliffs and most beautiful landscapes of the Irish coastline!

Whatever the route, the scenery is magnificent. See the village of Cobh, Fort Camden and Blackrock Castle Observatory. If you’re lucky, you’ll come across a few seals living on the islands in the bay!

The tour is fun, and the pilot is on hand to make your trip an unforgettable one!
