Great family day

Amy_G, May 2025

We forgot a towel and it was raining. The wetsuits kept you comfortable but a towel at the end would have been nice. The kayak itself was very enjoyable. Danny did a great job explaining everything before we started and stayed with the group without having to the reins too tight. Would highly recommend recommend.

Steve took very good care...

Steve took very good care of us! Happy to spot some plovers and herons. And Connemara Bay is so clean and beautiful. We were blessed with sun as well!

Magnifique initiation au kayak

NATHALIE_M, Apr 2023

c'était une première pour nous, l'animateur a été super et plus d'humour. Nous sommes allés sur une plage accessible qu'un kayak et nous nous sommes baignés. Juste génial.
