What to expect, well before you start your adventure, we'll give you a quick rundown of your equipment followed by a brief explanation on controlling your trusty kayak.

Once on the water we head north up the river towards Enniscorthy, the river is aligned with the picturesque Wexford railway line, dubbed as one of Europe's most beautiful short train journeys by Michael Palin himself. Relish in the serenity of your surroundings as the tuneful serenade of birds guides you further into the river's beauty. Keep your eyes peeled for the elusive Kingfisher, often observed alighting momentarily before diving low across the water to its next fishing spot. The River Slaney is home to an impressive variety of wildlife including herons, otters, water hens, ducks, and a friendly grey seal often seen fishing at high tide. This immersive tour presents a unique natural spectacle that truly has something for everyone. Our exciting tours takes around two hours and all necessary safety equipment including wetsuits will be provided. Our staff, who are all fully qualified Canoeing Ireland Kayak Instructors, are committed to ensuring that you have the most memorable and fun-filled experience possible.
