Sacred Currents: A Journey on the Boyne-Trails and Tides weekend

Introducing a brand new experience for Boyne Valle Trails, in collaboration with Mythical Ireland and Boyne Voyage. Step onto the waters of one of Ireland’s most sacred rivers and experience the Boyne as it was meant to be encountered — flowing, alive, and rich with story.

Join David Buckley of Boyne Voyage and Anthony Murphy of Mythical Ireland for a unique and immersive event as part of the Trails and Tide weekend this June Bank Holiday weekend.

As you kayak along the tranquil waters of the River Boyne at Oldbridge, you will be guided safely by David, an experienced and fully insured kayaking instructor who will ensure everyone is comfortable on the water, whether beginner or experienced paddler.

Along the journey, Anthony will bring the landscape to life — revealing the deep history, archaeology, myths and legends that make the Boyne Valley one of the most remarkable and storied places in the world. From ancient monuments to tales of gods, goddesses and sacred knowledge, this is a journey through both landscape and legend.

No prior kayaking experience is necessary — just a sense of curiosity and a willingness to immerse yourself in the sacred currents of the Boyne.

Things To Know

Got questions? We’ve got answers. Here are some of the most common queries about our trails and events.

What should I bring with me?

For our forest, mountain or off-road trails, we recommend bringing water, snacks, good waterproof boots or trainers, hat and sunglasses. You may bring a walking pole if you like and please dress according to the weather-it is Ireland after all. Light layers and waterproof shoes and coat, plus some clean socks just in case.

Are dogs allowed on your trails?

Dogs are allowed on some of our trails and on others only guide dogs are permitted. Please read the event description carefully to see if dogs are allowed or contact us to confirm.

Do I get a Camino passport with my Boyne Camino ticket?

Yes! We include in the cost of the tickets the official Camino passport. You will collect stamps all along the Boyne Camino route and you can (if you are feeling extra adventurous) take this passport with you to complete the remaining 75km in Spain to complete a full 100km Camino.

Why is there an admin charge on my ticket?

We use Eventbrite as our ticketing partner; they process our ticket sales on our behalf. As we are a volunteer-led group, we need to add a small charge to each ticket to cover fees from Eventbrite.
