5.00A really fun afternoon out! The guides were friendly, and gave us some local knowledge and history. Was lovely to see Wexford from a different perspective and had a good laugh. Would love to try one of their other tours!
Great, challenging fun

5.00Went with wife and brother-in-law. A bit on the pricier side but for a 2.5 - 3 hour event, totally worth it. The beaches involved weren't crowded, and the tour group was of a good size altogether. There are options for single and double kayaks which is great. Guides were very enthusiastic and their storytelling was really atmospheric and engaging. Depending on the weather it may be a very challenging experience for those without any kayaking background, but nothing insurmountable.
Great afternoon out in the sea

5.00We (a family of 2 adults and 2 teens (17 and 15) had a fantastic afternoon! Ruairi and Owen were superb guides, they led us safely through the seas from Baginbun Beach to Carnivan Beach, offering interesting stories about the caves and the history of the coastline along the way. Heading back after finishing the delicious hot chocolates and cookies, we even met a shark (basking shark)! Probably not an adult (it was around 4 meters), and it was so curious! He/she kept circkling around all the 5 kanoes in our party and coming near, so we all had a chance to take a good look at him/her, before she/he swam further into the deep seas.
Great experience

4.00Hi Team, Our experience was great. Owen, our guide, was incredibly helpful and a great person. The first challenge was the tide preventing us from reaching the cave so we really couldn’t experience going in the cave The biggest challenge was the wetsuit. It was a warm day and the 5mm suit was too thick for kayaking. Please ensure you provide the appropriate wetsuit for the weather. Thanks,

5.00We 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.

5.00This 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!
