This tour begins with a scenic drive along Waterford's Atlantic Coast. Departing from the pier you will travel through Tramore. This seaside resort, whose name means "large beach" in Gaelic, boasts delightful terraced houses overlooking a broad bay. Of Victorian vintage, it is one of Ireland's most popular resorts and has flourished since the 1850s, when it was linked to Waterford by rail. Follow the cliff road along a more rugged coastline, through the colorful and charming villages of Fenor, Annestown and Boatstrand, an area known as the "copper coast," because copper mining was once a thriving activity near Bunmahon. Your journey then turns north towards the Comeragh Mountains, the backbone of Waterford County, as you make your way to a cozy pub. Grab a drink and relax while you enjoy some traditional music in this local watering hole. Afterwards, make your way to Waterford city, where a short panoramic drive will introduce you to the main sights and story of this Viking city before you turn south and return to your ship.
