Staff very friendly, great equipment and really good value for money. We did the self guided tour and it was fantastic. Would highly recommend it!

Absolutely loved kayaking down the river slaney with my two boys aged 7 and 9. We saw swans, a kingfisher and otters. Joanne was a brilliant guide and you can tell how passionate she is about kayaking and the surrounding beauty.

My 10 year old daughter attended the academy camp for the 1st time this week and she absolutely loved it! She has even signed up for the weekly lessons. She’s not a great mixer and is very shy but the 2 instructors were great at making all the kids feel comfortable with them and each other. There was a great mix of games and activities every day - 5 stars!!
