    The River Shannon-Kayak

    Laura_T, Aug 2024
    Great day with Jason! Very knowledgeable! Our weather conditions were grand! The River Shannon was beautifull from the kayak!

    Not what it seems

    I thought I was getting a historical river Kayaking tour up the river Shannon. We hardly went anywhere and only two historical markers were pointed out. The majority of the time was playing a water game pass the ball.

    Fun Experience

    We had a fun experience doing this. The one note I would give is that you sit in the water in the kayaks so your pants and butt get very wet and we didn't prepare properly for that. Guides were very nice!

    War toll 👏 😁
