Athy sits on the meeting point of both the Grand Canal and the River Barrow. This makes it an ideal location for taking a boat tour in County Kildare. From Athy, we offer a number of trip options. Travelling south and taking the Barrow Navigation towards Carlow, you’ll be treated to an array of wildlife and built heritage. Some of the historical sites you’ll pass include Woodstock Castle, Whites Castle and the famous Horse Bridge.  Boat tours in this direction range in length from 1hr to 5hr. Given the combination and continual intersection of the river and the canal as we head south, passengers are well advised to bring their cameras, as they will witness some very unique history and wildlife on these river cruises.
