Kayak Tour Kilkenny

We had an incredible time with Roger and his crew on the river Nore! He had everything we needed, such as dry clothes, footwear and a jacket to keep us dry. This was a great way to relax for a couple hours, get out of the ordinary and experience Kilkenny from a much different angle. Would definitely recommend!!!

Excellent and really fun experience!!!! Couldn’t recommended more. Worth every penny, the highlight of our trip !!

We were looking for something active in Kilkenny, and we're very thankful for finding this kayak tour. I had never been in a kayak before, but fortunately the waters around the Castle are quite calm and Roher was a great guide when it came to navigating the river. They have wet suits and shoes to borrow, plus a place to rinse off after. We highly recommend this option for something to do in between all those restaurant and pub stops!

So much fun!! If you are looking to do something more outdoorsy and adventurous definitely do this. Roger was amazing. he was kind, patient and fun. We had a great time and learned a little about paddling in very small rapids. Thanks Roger!

Our family of 3 had a wonderful time on the river with our knowledgeable and kind guide, Roger. We saw swans and more, and had a fantastic perspective of the castle straight from the river. We wanted an active excursion and this was a perfect mix of activity and sightseeing. Highly recommend for a family adventure!

Absolutely fantastic tour! Highly recommend the private tour for a group of 6. Visiting Kilkenny with my family and it was the kids first time kayaking. Ages 13,12,10 and 9. Guides Stephen and Hugo were very friendly, accommodating and great with the kids. Super fun and lovely views of the city. Kids really enjoyed the weirs and jumping in after the trip. Changing facilities really clean and great hot showers on site. Would recommend to any family or group visiting Kilkenny.

Roger has everything you need! Wetsuits, shoes, towels, a changing room with a bathroom and shower, and a soda after. He was very knowledgeable about all things Kilkenny and Ireland. Be prepared to get your feet wet. There are a few parts where you have to get out of kayak and walk a few steps to relaunch. Roger was SO nice! We had a blast with him and his grandson.

The guide is awesome, he took us through the river, going over hills, back-and-forth, must do! Thanks!

Great activity in heart of Kilkenny, my first time in a kayak - absolutely would recommend this. It was our second day in Ireland and was nice to have a physical nature-based activity. Our guide Roger was excellent and had great tips on the whole country for us!

Best way to see Kilkenny! Great for all levels of experience and not a difficult route. Roger set us up with clothes and shoes that we could get wet and swim in. Ed and Dohe were so kind and enthusiastic about taking us out on the water. Ed knew so much about the town and history in general and was able to answer any question we threw at him. We were able to go for a little swim in the lake before we circled back which was lovely. Seeing the bridges and landmarks like the castle from the water was beautiful. When we finished Ed gave us great recommendations for places to eat in town and must sees. A great group of people who were very welcoming and warm. Would absolutely come back!
