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.
