Things to note
Tour Guide Paul Whitla will be your host.
The tour departs from the Jetty, located beside Pickie Funpark which is accessed by foot via the Promenade linking to Queen's Parade car park.
The annual Sea Bangor event will be on Saturday 1 and Sunday 2 June, so the city will be busier. Please consider this when planning your trip.
Please wear appropriate clothing and footwear for the boat trip.
Those aged under 18 yrs must be accompanied by a paying adult and also purchase a full price ticket.
Tickets close 24 hrs before activity.
Getting there
By car: from Belfast follow A2 to Bangor Town Centre. On street parking nearby.
Car parking | Ards and North Down Borough Council
By public transport: Train or bus to Bangor Station. From station walk straight/turn left heading down Main Street (past The Ava and the Post Office) to the seafront for approximately 10-15 minutes, along the promenade to the jetty located beside Pickie Funpark. See Translink for timetables
The town will be busy due to the Sea Bangor event on Saturday and Sunday, so we would ask you to take this into consideration and allow yourself extra, especially if travelling by car or bus.
Accessibility
Whilst we endeavour to make our experiences accessible for all, limitations can prevent this. Unfortunately, on this occasion, the experience cannot accommodate wheelchair users.
Carers
Where practicable ANDBC will aim to accommodate carers and be as inclusive as possible. Due to the variety and nature of the programme this requires assessment on a case-by-case basis. If you require further information in relation to this, please call Bangor Visitor Information Centre on 028 9127 0069, and they will be able to address your enquiry.
