River Bann Boat Trip

Best of the Bann:
2-Hour Boat Trip Experience

Experience the Best of the River Bann onboard the stylish M.V. Kingfisher. Our classic vessel was restored and refurbished during the pandemic lockdown and provides a wonderfully comfortable platform to view wildlife and learn about Northern Ireland’s longest river, its culture and heritage.

Starting at The Cutts, Coleraine in the Causeway Coast and Glens, M.V. Kingfisher will take you on a slow and gentle cruise of the tranquil River Bann upstream past Loughan Island to Camus then on towards Drumaheglis. We will stop along the way for tea, coffee*, and freshly baked refreshments and enjoy some quiet time close to nature.

*On select summer days, we will upgrade from tea & coffee to Prosecco for some Bubbles on the Bann
