Know Before
You Go

Do I need to know how to swim?
It is better if you know how to swim. You will be wearing a Personal Flotation Device (PFD) which will keep you afloat if you fall in. The Boyne is waist-high in most places so you can just stand up when you go in.
-
Do I need to know how to kayak?
Our sit-on-top kayaks are designed for beginners so you don’t need to have kayaked before. We will run through the basics with you before you get on the water.
-
Is it safe?
Playing in the outdoors does carry some risk. That is why all our guides are certified Canoeing Ireland instructors.

How long do activities last?
All activities last from 1.5 hour to 3 hours.

Are there changing rooms?
Yes, there are changing rooms and toilets available at our riverside base.

Is there parking?
We have limited parking but there is a large paid (€2 cash only) car park across the road from us.

Do I need to pre-book?
