Boat trips from Conwy Quay
Boat trips from Conwy Quay are estuary and river cruises under the castle — not the Great Orme sea spins from Llandudno. Family-run Sightseeing Cruises Conwy (est. 1946) operate Queen Victoria and Princess Christine roughly February–October, tide and weather permitting; half-hour cruises are commonly around £10 adult / £5 child (check quayside boards or call 07917 343058).
AquaTour runs shorter RIB adventure rides from the quay toward Tal y Cafn. Historic steamers once reached Trefriw; siltation means modern tourist boats stay on the lower river. Mussel dories on the estuary are working boats, not passenger trips — the Conwy Mussel Centre on the quay covers the PDO story.
