A really fun way to see the beautiful Connemara scenery - A fantastic way to explore the scenery and wildlife of Connemara. The guide, Steve, was very informative and allowed us to move at our own pace.

Sunset kayaking was a really fantastic experience. Really worth it if you have the time. - We did the sunset kayaking and it was really lovely. We had no experience of kayaking and it was not difficult and we were not sore the next day.

Kayaking on Mannin Bay - The kayaking with Connemara Kayaking was wonderful. Our guide, Danny, was amazing. He was very knowledgeable about the sea creatures and wildlife in the area. We felt very safe with Danny and he kept us at the perfect pace with frequent breaks. Thanks Danny!

Fantastic kayaking experience! Definitely recommend. - My partner and I went sea kayaking. It was fantastic! My pictures aren't the best, as they were taken through a waterproof cover, but the weather and views made for such a peaceful experience. I can't remember the name of our instructor, but he was excellent. Really took his time in the pre 'getting into the water' instructions, paddled along at the right pace, and shared some knowledge on what we were seeing. I think we were on the water for around 2-2.5 hours in total. In terms of general facilities, parking at the Connemara Sands hotel was easy, and the kayaking 'centre' provided an area to change and lock away car keys etc.

Beautiful kayaking - Between the weather, the water and the guide, our two hours in the bay with Danny couldn’t have been better. This is a stunning part of Ireland to see by kayak.
