Limerick City centre kayaking

5.00What a great trip this was. There was an absolute downpour just before we hit the water but it didn't dampen our spirits. Harry was an excellent guide and made much of our 6 year old on her first time kayaking. She has been talking about it non-stop all weekend. A leisurely paddle around the city centre banks of the Shannon with some games and a few interesting facts about the local landmarks thrown in for good measure. Highly recommend doing this and seeing the city from a different perspective. Top marks lads!
Great way to see the city and sights

5.00Myself and 3 booked the 1.5 hours kayaking on the river Shannon. The weather was excellent and we got to know all the history and facts about limerick city and surrounding areas from our guide Harry, he taught us about the siege of limerick, king johns castle, poor man’s kilkee, hell’s gates and the old Custom House. He was very thorough and well able to squeeze all of the information into the dedicated time frame. He even took photos out on the water of me and my family. 10/10 recommend. 1.5 hrs was plenty for us as it was our first time kayaking in quite a while and by the end our legs were like jelly.
Shannon on the River Shannon

5.00We did the 1.5 hour kayak tour. Heads up (because we missed it), these are sit-on-top kayaks so your butt WILL get wet from the scupper holes. The water was great, so the rest of our bodies stayed dry. You’ll get a bit of history tidbits along with the ride. It was just the two of us and our guide Cahill, who was wonderful! An engineering student at UL, he was familiar with Limerick and enjoyable to talk to while taking in the scenes. He also offered to take photos of us with our phones. There’s a secure place for your belongings while you’re on the water. Entry and exit were from a dock. We had some extra time because of our small group, so we got to explore the Abbey River as well! 👍 👍

5.00I had such a great time. My guide Harry was really excellent. I use a wheelchair and he was very helpful and respectful making sure I had a great experience! If you do use a wheelchair I would just make sure you feel confident with transferring into a water vessel. I would absolutely recommend this trip and would definitely do it again if I come back to Limerick.
Had a great time

5.00Owain was great fun, and we had a great time on the water. Thanks on behalf of us all in ACI Worldwide. The walking tour around the Shannon was equally entertaining and insightful thanks to our very knowledgeable tour guide Tadhg.
A very relaxing experience
