We are committed to providing a comfortable, safe, and fun space for all levels – no matter what your background with outdoor adventures.

Located in the middle of The Wild Atlantic Way, amidst stunning beaches, a wild and rugged coastline and dramatic mountain ranges, such as the Twelve Bens and Maam Turks – you will fall in love with this incredible region.

We will take you off the beaten track to the best unique and local spots, and you get to explore the Wild Atlantic Way with activities such as coastal kayaking, surfing, coasteering, paddle boarding, rock climbing and hiking.
