Safety Advice

The Boyne Blueway offers a wonderful outdoor experience, but conditions can change unexpectedly. Recreational activities on and around the water require care and awareness.

Blueways Safety Principles

Engage the Experts

Blueways Ireland recommends participation through appropriately-qualified and experienced activity providers who will advise on your safety and help prepare you for your trip using these five “Stay” safety principles: 

FIND AN ACTIVITY PROVIDER

Stay on top of the weather

A provider will check conditions like wind, rain and tides to keep your trip safe.

Stay where it’s safest

A provider will know and understand the impact of local hazards.

Stay together

A provider will manage the group so you can adventure safely and someone always knows your plans.

Stay afloat

A provider will provide a buoyancy aid for you to wear as part of an organised water activity.

Stay connected

An activity provider will have a way to call for help and will manage emergencies.
