Overview
We are life time paddlers, sharing our passion, incorporating fun, learning and awareness of river and its surrounds . Our customers get personal attention and feel very safe and love our tours which are adapted to peoples energy and ability.
You will paddle double kayaks up and back down through Kilkenny and see historical buildings which dominate the the City skyline.
The tour can include white water paddling over a weir, playing in the rapids if that is of interest.
If you prefer to stay dry, that's your choice of course and we do provide over-trousers to keep you pretty dry.
If you prefer, one of our guides can paddle the double kayak with you for extra stability to ensure that we maximise your enjoyment and safety.
Visual highlights include Kilkenny Castle, The Tholsel, St Francis Abbey, the old home of Smithwick's Brewery and St Canice's Cathedral.
Hear about the importance of the Nore to Kilkenny and its milling history for centuries.
