We had a great adventure with Eoin & Conor. They were very professional & friendly. From the time we arrived to check in at the office in Fethard till we arrived safely back on the beach in Baginbun, everything went like clockwork. They went through the safety & skills demonstration on the beach throughly & in a fun way. The guys regaled us with stories as we paddled our way along the coast, now whether these stories were true is another thing!! A great way to spend an evening with friends.

This is a great experience - exhilarating, engaging and highly entertaining from the moment you check in. Brilliant guides whose priority appears to be to make sure you have the best time possible. Seascape is beautiful - cliffs, seastacks, caves. Bit of a swell while we were out so we couldn't enter the big cave but they made up for this by shooting a passage between rocks and sea stacks and exploring an old copper mine. How they managed to serve us hot chocolate as well from a kayak is beyond me, but they did! Great storytelling as well along the way. Top-class and well done to the team!

My friend and I (both locals to the area) took our 12 year old sons on this trip in double kayaks. It was absolutely brilliant. The team were excellent, Owen and Conor, both hilarious and knowledgeable. Highly recommend.

So grateful they accommodated me, (even though it was my fault I was late) The views were beautiful 💕The young man who was our guide (Sven lol) was well spoken, delightful and captivating! I would definitely recommend 10/10!!!
