Visit Waterford has launched seven ready-made ‘One Day Adventure’ itineraries for families and visitors.
The itineraries cover activities from city street art and whiskey to coastal walks and mountain cycling.
Each itinerary follows a morning-to-evening structure with activity, dining and evening suggestions.
The adventures include themes such as ‘Mountains to Greenway’, ‘Harbour Adventure’ and ‘Saints, Cliffs & Sea’.
Clare Barrett confirmed the itineraries make it easy to experience the best of Waterford in a single day.

Visit Waterford has launched a new series of ‘One Day Adventures’, a collection of seven ready-made itineraries designed to help families and visitors get the very most out of the county before the season winds down. From street art and whiskey tastings in Waterford City to cliff walks, sea swimming, Greenway cycling and monastic history along the coast, the itineraries showcase the breadth of experiences on offer across Waterford. Each itinerary follows a simple morning-to-evening structure, pairing an activity with a place to eat and a suggestion for how to finish the day, taking the guesswork out of planning.

The seven One Day Adventures include ‘Walls, Whiskey & Music’ exploring the Waterford Walls street art trail and a whiskey tasting; ‘Harbour Adventure’ combining watersports at Dunmore East Adventure Centre with coastal walking; ‘The Family Seaside Adventure’ bringing together the Lafcadio Hearn Japanese Gardens and Splashworld; ‘Cliffs, Geology & Bunmahon’ along the Copper Coast; ‘Mountains to Greenway’ pairing a mountain walk with cycling; ‘Heritage & River Adventure’ exploring Lismore; and ‘Saints, Cliffs & Sea’ discovering Ardmore’s ancient monastic site. The itineraries are designed to be flexible, allowing visitors to adjust activities and timings to suit the pace of their group, the weather and the ages of those travelling.

The seven One Day Adventures are:

Cliffs, Geology & Bunmahon, a scenic journey along the Copper Coast taking in coastal walks, local art and the region’s mining heritage.
