It follows two sisters and their parents on a barge journey down the Grand Canal from Dublin to Shannon Harbour in Co. Offaly.

This 15 part family adventure is set on the beautiful barge ‘Tig Beatha’ as it drifts along the Grand Canal. Sisters Muireann (9) and Caoimhe (7) are the hosts along with their parents Mick and Trish. The family live in a floating home and make many stops on the way. Their journey takes them three weeks.
As well as having fun onboard the family visit special places and try out new activities: going through a lock, feeding swans, stencilling the name on the barge, visiting a fen, helping to clean up the canal, going out in a dinghy, looking for bats at night, getting pulled along by dray horses, meeting a lock keeper, cutting turf on the bog, aqua cycling, pony riding, going on a nature walk, catching butterflies and going fishing.[2]
