Tour plan
Your adventure begins as we launch from Conwy Harbour, revving up for a dash down the river. Feel the wind in your hair as our RIB runs through the water, building excitement from the moment we set off.
As we race down the river, you’ll get an unbeatable view of Conwy Castle, one of Wales’ most iconic medieval fortresses. This UNESCO World Heritage Site dominates the skyline, and our crew will give a brief history of its strategic importance during the reign of Edward I.
Once past the castle, you’ll be treated to the stunning scenery of the Conwy Valley. As we dash along the river, admire the rolling hills, lush greenery, and idyllic landscapes that make this area one of North Wales’ hidden gems.
We pass by the RSPB Conwy Nature Reserve, a haven for birdwatchers and wildlife lovers. Keep your eyes peeled for a variety of bird species that thrive here, including herons, lapwings, and oystercatchers. The reserve’s wetlands are teeming with life, and our crew will point out key wildlife sightings along the way.
Our journey takes us to the historic Tal y Cafn Bridge, a beautiful structure that spans the Conwy River. Once a vital crossing point, it now offers panoramic views of the river and surrounding countryside. This is the perfect moment to snap a few photos before we turn around for our return leg.
After soaking in the sights, we throttle back up for a scenic ride back to Conwy. Experience the full power of our RIB as we glide across the water, ensuring an unforgettable finale to this adventure.

A great trip was had by all! We would fully recommend! Aquatour is a great trip out for the whole family!Posted on Sophie BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great trip with Aquatour today. Two adults and two kids, and it was good fun for all of us. Jake was really knowledgeable and patient, especially with our daughter who had lots of questions. We saw loads of seals and also got to pick up some speed, which made it even more enjoyable! Definitely recommend.Posted on Ferdie van AsscheTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a nice hour long tour with our family on the fast boat. We encountered seals, a lot of birds as well as Kashmir goats on the steep slopes. Dolphins decided to remain hidden this time, but we got some useful advice for a location for spotting them from the coast: worked out well. Thanks, the kids loved it as well.Posted on DC Furacão PereiraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
