Situated on the calm waters of Lough Ree, Lough Ree Access for All Boat Trips invites everyone, regardless of mobility, to experience the heart of Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands.
Departing from North Quay, Ballyleague, Co Roscommon, this fully wheelchair?accessible vessel is the only licensed roll?on/roll?off boat of its kind in Ireland and the UK, comfortably accommodating up to three wheelchairs so no one misses out on the lake’s spectacular beauty. Daily scenic cruises glide past the lough’s ancient monastic island of Inchcleraun and more, where ruins from the 6th century tell tales of saints, scholars, and Viking invaders.
Each 90?minute tour runs three times a day during the Summer and twice daily during the Winter months, allowing guests to soak in the majestic panorama and biodiversity of Lough Ree.
Lough Ree Access for All also welcome larger groups and corporate tours on its three accessible boats, as well as Powerboat Course via the company’s Irish Sailing-affiliated National Powerboat Certificate Courses.
For those dreaming of angling adventures, guided fishing trips are fully supported: rods, reels and expert guidance are provided, with accessible boarding making it simple for wheelchair users to be part of the catch?and?release thrill.
The Lough Ree Access for All Centre at Ballyleague/Lansborough also boasts a purpose-built facility named the Changing Places Suite, and a coffee dock which overlooks the River Shannon.
Whether you seek a peaceful cruise, a historic voyage through monastic ruins, or an accessible fishing experience, Lough Ree Access for All Boat Trips ensures it’s a journey open to all.
