Learn of the often unspoken and local history that the river holds.

See the medieval city of Kilkenny via the ancient river Nore in a traditional Irish Open-Boat. Witness the city’s built heritage as you drift beneath its 12th century Castle, graceful Cathedrals and imposing Round Tower. Relax, unwind and drift back to a bye-gone era as life gently slows to the meandering speed of the river. Listen, spot and watch the river wildlife that make Kilkenny their home, including Kingfishers, Otters and Salmon. Explore the folklore and histories of Kilkenny with a storytelling boat Skipper. See Kilkenny as the first visitors did, entering the city by boat; and capture unique castle views, lush river environments and historical vistas.
