Definitely a trip to try!!!!

5.00We visited with three kids of different ages, and every one of them was thoroughly entertained — which says a lot! The trip itself was fantastic from start to finish. On the way out, our guide was excellent, sharing interesting and engaging facts about the bay that kept both adults and kids hooked. On the return journey, the live music created such a fun and relaxed atmosphere. Even with the rain, it didn’t take away from the experience at all — if anything, it added to the adventure. Overall, a brilliant outing and one we’d happily do again. Highly recommend 💚
Great Experience with amazing views & history!

5.00This was such a great activity especially with kids. We went on this cruise during rainy weather and was still such a great way to explore the clew Bay and this very unique landscape with a view of the different islands and the water. The seals colony was amazing to see, the commentator was full of interesting stories of the area, amazing nuggets of history and also perfect dose of humour. Definitely recommend if visiting Westport!
Great, second visit, better than ever!

5.00Excellent. We booked on-line the day before and got good weather for the time of year. We had done the tour before but this time had two friends with us. They have improved the narration by adding an extra "local expert" and had live music playing down below. A very enjoyable and informative couple of hours.

1.00Although the cruise was booked through Viator for 3/24/2026, nobody from Westport Cruises showed up. Apparently, they do not restart the cruises until April 1 but they went ahead and accepted our booking for March 24 even though they were closed. We have yet to get our requested refund!
A Fantastic Cruise with Stunning Views of Clew Bay!

4.00Our Clew Bay Cruise was an absolute delight! The scenery was breathtaking — from the majestic Croagh Patrick to the charming little islands scattered across the bay. It’s such a peaceful and picturesque way to experience the beauty of Westport. The crew were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made everyone on board feel welcome. They shared interesting stories and local insights that brought the whole experience to life. The boat was clean, comfortable, and well-kept, making the journey even more enjoyable. Whether you’re a local or visiting Westport for the first time, this cruise is a must-do! A perfect blend of relaxation, natural beauty, and warm Irish hospitality.
