What a great trip this was. There was an absolute downpour just before we hit the water but it didn't dampen our spirits. Harry was an excellent guide and made much of our 6 year old on her first time kayaking. She has been talking about it non-stop all weekend. A leisurely paddle around the city centre banks of the Shannon with some games and a few interesting facts about the local landmarks thrown in for good measure. Highly recommend doing this and seeing the city from a different perspective. Top marks lads!
Hi Darragh, thanks you so much for your lovely review. We are delighted you really enjoyed it. Kindest Regards, Dave
Had a great afternoon kayaking with my son on the river with Nevsail. Our instructor, Harry, was excellent, a great tour guide. It's an excellent way to see the sights around Limerick City. Highly recommended. Will definitely be back!
Thanks so much for your review and business. Hopefully we will see you again in 2026.
Myself and 3 booked the 1.5 hours kayaking on the river Shannon. The weather was excellent and we got to know all the history and facts about limerick city and surrounding areas from our guide Harry, he taught us about the siege of limerick, king johns castle, poor man’s kilkee, hell’s gates and the old Custom House. He was very thorough and well able to squeeze all of the information into the dedicated time frame. He even took photos out on the water of me and my family. 10/10 recommend. 1.5 hrs was plenty for us as it was our first time kayaking in quite a while and by the end our legs were like jelly.
We did the 1.5 hour kayak tour. Heads up (because we missed it), these are sit-on-top kayaks so your butt WILL get wet from the scupper holes. The water was great, so the rest of our bodies stayed dry. You’ll get a bit of history tidbits along with the ride. It was just the two of us and our guide Cahill, who was wonderful! An engineering student at UL, he was familiar with Limerick and enjoyable to talk to while taking in the scenes. He also offered to take photos of us with our phones. There’s a secure place for your belongings while you’re on the water. Entry and exit were from a dock. We had some extra time because of our small group, so we got to explore the Abbey River as well! 👍 👍
Really enjoyable kayaking trip around Limerick, nice way to see the sights and city, and understand some of it's history. Harry was a great host!
We had great fun and a lovely active way of getting to see the city and a bit of the history. The guides were lovely and friendly and put us at ease.
I had such a great time. My guide Harry was really excellent. I use a wheelchair and he was very helpful and respectful making sure I had a great experience! If you do use a wheelchair I would just make sure you feel confident with transferring into a water vessel. I would absolutely recommend this trip and would definitely do it again if I come back to Limerick.
Would 100% recommend, Harry was a great guide and was super friendly, it was crazy to see the area from the water. We had a great time.
Owain was great fun, and we had a great time on the water. Thanks on behalf of us all in ACI Worldwide. The walking tour around the Shannon was equally entertaining and insightful thanks to our very knowledgeable tour guide Tadhg.
Kayaking on the Shannon was an amazing experience, peaceful and relaxing. Our guide Harry, seamlessly brought us up to speed and looked after us throughout the trip, he is a real Pro. We will Kayak again with Nevsail.
