The Experience
The Half Day Kayaking Experience in Galway is the perfect way to explore Ireland’s stunning west coast while learning a new skill. Set against the backdrop of Killary Fjord, this guided session combines adventure and breath-taking scenery.
Your day begins with you meeting your instructor and receive all the necessary gear, including a wetsuit, helmet and buoyancy aid. After a short introduction to basic kayaking techniques, you’ll take to the sheltered waters of the fjord on your own sit-on-top kayak.
The session focuses on safety and enjoyment, with time playing water-based games and practising balance. You’ll quickly gain confidence while surrounded by towering mountains and the serene beauty of Ireland’s only fjord. Sit-on-top kayaks are open and stable, making them ideal for beginners - even if you tip over, getting back on is easy.
Suitable for anyone aged 8 and over, this three-hour experience is perfect for small groups or families. After your adventure, return to the base for a hot shower and a well-earned rest.
Includes:
- Buoyancy aid, helmet, kayak and wetsuit
- Three-hour guided kayaking session
- Professional instruction
- Access to showers and changing facilities
Discover the joy of kayaking in one of Ireland’s most scenic locations and create lasting memories on the water.
