The *only* harbour tour in Cork, just opened this year, & they do a marvelous job!
We took the Cailin Ór guided tour (not the skeleton boat) from Cork to Cobh. Our guide was absolutely wonderful, so knowledgable & friendly, & she clearly cared a lot about the nature and history in Cork Harbour. Among other points, this was a great overview of the history of Cork city & the environs, and also a good way to learn the geographical layout of the area.
We saw estates not visible from anywhere on the mainland, learned a bit about Viking & pirate invasions of cork, learned first hand what the Cork city seal symbolizes, and so much more. And it was just a lovely way to make the trip to Cobh.
This is now my must-do trip whenever I am traveling with new visitors to Cork. read more
