Experiences
Find your perfect trip
Whether it's a romantic afternoon, a family adventure, or a team day with a difference, there's a Shannon Drift experience for you. Every one of them runs on the same stretch of water: the Shannon Callows at Shannonbridge.

- Silent electric motor, no engine noise
