LAKE & RIVER TOURS
We run tours in most if not all lakes in Co Clare. If there is a lake near you and you get a group together I will come with all the gear you need and take you out.
We run river tours on the Inagh River by the Falls in Ennistymon to Lahinch and on the Fergus River between Dromore Lake and Ballyalla Lake.
I can do tours for groups on Stand Up Paddle Boards (SUP) & Kayaks or we can bring a mix of each.
All tours have to be pre-booked in advance and must have a minimum of 6 in the group.
Recommended to have with you:
Hat, sunscreen, water bottle, towel, swimming gear, change of clothes, booties/old sand shoes, waterproof bag and thermals/wind jacket are recommended on chilly days and during winter months.

Photos from some of our past tours.
Starting from the Falls hotel in Ennistymon, Tours take around 2 hours. We go on the river near to Lahinch beach and back around to the falls again. Its a great river for all ages, all levels of experience and is a very relaxing and safe river for kayaking.
Kayak tours on the river Fergus run from Dromore Lake Ruan to Ballyalla Lake Ennis.
