What to expect on your Menai Cruise

  • 60 minutes of cruising along the beautiful Anglesey Coast!
  • As you sail down the Menai Strait, we pass a Victorian pier and palatial manor houses, Anglesey’s very own Millionaires’ Row, and the university city of Bangor with its monumental buildings
  • Starida doesn't just take you to see the sights, the crew will tell you all about them and share some stories of times past.
  • Depending on the tides, there will also be time to explore some of the small islands that dot the Anglesey coastline that are home to wading birds such as herons, egrets, and oystercatchers with their distinctive orange beaks.

Not just a cruise but a complete guided tour with full commentary from experienced local crews!
