Timetables & Fares
If you plan to visit, we advise that you pre-book your tickets online before 9am on your chosen date of travel. We cannot guarantee to sell tickets on the day of travel. Please consider wearing a face covering in busy and enclosed areas.
You can get off our boats at Howtown and we are happy to say that you can now board the boats there too. However, we cannot take pre bookings for boarding. Tickets will be allocated on a first come, first served basis if there is space onboard. We strongly advise you not to board at Howtown. Take the cruise part of your journey first and walk back from Howtown.
Before you purchase tickets, please ensure you have picked your departure and return times (if relevant) from the timetable, watched our video and read all of our opening information. This all outlines what you can expect when you visit us.
Please note that the car park at Aira Force gets very busy and we recommend that you arrive as early as possible to get a space. Please see here for more information.
Please be kind and considerate
Thank you for helping you and us #staysafe
