      About this trip

      Tour Ireland in luxury on 50' canal boats

      With only 10 people on board, you can avoid the 'river cruise cattle boat' mobs. We will decide what we want to do every day and stop whenever we see something interesting. You'll have plenty of time to wander alone or hang out with the other guests. No unpacking, taxis, hotel reservation drama, foreign languages, getting lost or worries about driving on the 'wrong' side of the road! Single folks and couples are welcome.

      We are chartering two 50' canal boats to explore the River Shannon in July 2022. Our boats have shared cabins, several heads, galley, salon, fly bridge and lots of deck space. You can rent a bike to explore the paths and villages along the way, catch some fish, golf, visit castles, pubs, and a zillion historic sites - or just sit back and relax.  No boating experience necessary but if you'd like to improve your boat handling skills, let us know!


      Our boat has a nice galley where breakfasts and lunches will be served onboard (unless we see somewhere we MUST eat ashore) and some dinners will be onboard, with the option of eating ashore.  Several nights will be meals ashore, because who wants to miss out on local fare?  There is an outside seating area so we can enjoy the long days and see the sights along the river.  In case of rainy weather, there is plenty of room inside and lots of big windows!

      Where We'll Go

      We will board in Carrick-On-Shannon and spend a bit of time traveling north to Belleek, then head back south and finish up in Portumna


      A few of the towns we will visit are Enniskillen, Belturbet, Ballyconnell, Ballinamore, Drumshanbo, Tarmonbarry, Lanesborough, Clonmacnoise, Banagher, Terryglass, Mountshannon and many others!

      What We'll Do

      You can wander the towns, visit historical sites, enjoy a pint in a pub, fish, golf, shop, take a stroll along a country lane....  There are options to rent bikes for an additional fee as well.  If you like to ride bikes, there are bike paths everywhere and it’s fun to get off the boat and explore.  Please let me know if you are interested.

      Bucket-list experience. Amazing food, incredible experience, and a group of people I would be happy to travel with again. Highly recommend!

      This was a very special, wondrous trip. All the people at the whale camp were so accomodating. We learned a lot about whales. They have so much respect for the whale families. I saw many historical sites in land as well. We loved the beaches and the Oasis Hotel. Our group was cohesive. Thank you to Katie for being our leader. I'm glad to have met Hollie on the trip. I recommend this trip for adults and families.

      Who knew that there were so many wonderful, curious and friendly Gray Whales! Fabulous trip. The whale camp was perfect, comfortable little wooden huts with composting toilets, water service and even a plug for my CPAP device. The food was wonderful and served by lovely people. Our guides on the pangas (boats) were informative and accessible. I can't recommend this trip enough. Ed Webb

      This trip was a bucket list adventure for our family that turned out to be everything I had hoped for and MORE! We came to see the gray whales in a magical place - the San Ignacio Lagoon, where the whales come for a few months each year to give birth, mate and get strong for the trip to Alaska - but we learned so much about the surrounding communities and Baja culture. Our guide Katie was knowledgeable, patient and fun. I also can't say enough about our stay at Antonio's Ecotours (aka whale camp). Shout out to Gerry, Paola and Belvi, the kitchen staff that served up wonderful local food and the amazing panga boat operators. I highly recommend this tour for everyone.

      I had a wonderful time, Mahalo Sailing and Holly never disappoints. The whales were as always amazing but even the simplest meal was an experience. Holly thank you for letting me join your adventure, looking forward the next one!

      This was my second trip and both times I had a great time! It was a bummer with all the boat issues and having a late start but I know that wasn't Holly's fault. Everyone on our boat got along fantastic! I really enjoyed the additional day at Tobacco Caye. Loved the snorkeling and mingling with everyone on all boats 🧡 I truly believe I made life long friends! Thank you 🩵
