Description:
Aquasports offers boat trips from Coleraine Marina and Christie Park, Coleraine downstream to the Barmouth. This 12 mile return journey gives passengers the chance to enjoy the natural beauty and wildlife of the Lower Bann valley, and depending on weather conditions trips can be extended along the Causeway Coast to Mussenden Temple or Skerry Islands, Portrush.

Or join us on a fantastic voyage round the Rathlin coastline. On the towering basalt and chalk cliffs at the West Light be amazed by the thousands of guillemots and kittewakes while on the offshore stacks are razor bills, fulmars and puffins. Atop the soaring cliffs catch a glimpse of the “upside down” lighthouse, or marvel at the depth and crystal clarity of the sea.

Onwards to the East Lighthouse, from which area Marconi made the first commercial radio transmission in 1898. In the cliff face below look out for Bruce’s cave, where the Scottish King took inspiration from a spider. On past the aptly named Smugglers Cove, round the Rue Point and head for picturesque Church Bay. Pause to admire the basking seals or disembark and sample some Island hospitality.

There is also a trip to the Island itself which lasts approximately 5 hours. Highlights of the trip include a bus to bird colonies plus a visit to Fergus' Tea House.
