Viking Mike and his team provide a lovely way to get back/from The Hudson Bay and Athlone. Viking Mike provides commentary with knowlege of history, wildlife and the building/structures at the right level so you also get time to enjoy the beauty as you meander along on your journey. The boat is spacious and has all amenities as well as complimentary tea and coffee. There are plenty of seats and areas to stand and take in the views as well as covers if it does rain. A great trip which is very fairly priced.…

We had the pleasure of doing this fabulous boat trip yesterday with Mike & George . As a tour guide myself I’ve often seen the boat on the river as we pass through Athlone so I had wanted to do this tour for quite a while and yesterday the weather conditions were just fabulous. Mike gave us a super tour with lots of interesting bits of history , he has a voice I would listen to all day , George looked after all the passengers on board , lovely complimentary tea/coffee or if you like an Irish coffee of a Baileys coffee I hear he is a dab hand at making those too :) All in all we had a super trip and we would highly recommend this tour if you’re in the Athlone area …

I learned things about the Shannon that I didn't know before. The complimentary coffee warmed us up on a chilly morning.…

This is a fabulous little trip. George and mike looked after us very well. Complimentary tea and coffee or a lovely little galley bar., very well stocked. The toilet was immaculate- wouldn’t see better in a five star hotel! It’s 1 hour 20 mins up the Shannon but I would recommend getting one sailing and disembark at the Hodson bay hotel for lunch or a drink and taking the next one back a couple of hours later. €15 return, what great value. …
