5.00This was so much fun! We went rafting on a beautiful sunny day. Our guide was very knowledgeable and funny. It was our first time ever whitewater rafting, and this was the perfect course for beginners. We also had some awesome pictures taken of our group during this adventure. The rafting experience ends in downtown Galway. This was a great experience!
Great day out with colleagues!

5.00What an absolute gem of an experience! I went with my colleagues on a Tuesday afternoon, and it turned out to be the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Drifting down the Corrib gave us a completely new perspective on the beautiful city of Galway—one you just can’t get from the streets. Our guide was fantastic: not only did he share fascinating stories about the castle ruins scattered along the river, but he also opened our eyes to the rich wildlife, both above and below the water. It was the ideal way to combine team bonding, local history, and a fresh appreciation for Galway’s natural beauty.
