We hired four bikes for our tour and was greeted by a very friendly man. He gave us both trial maps and the game of thrones bike map which was very much appreciated by a game of throne fan like myself. The trial itself starts with brilliant views of the lakes and leads onto a (imho more than) slightly steep slope. It then takes you through some mountain bike trials which we all agreed was the best part. Many spots to stop off for a lunch picnic so I would come prepared. The view points were gorgeous. All in all a great day out There is a small fleet of electric bikes available. Call ahead for electric bikes. We did try but we couldn’t get through so ended up with one that died just as we reached the top of the slope. It would definitely make cycling a lot easier for the older generations

I booked a double kayaking experience for my family of 4 (2 daughters aged 18 and 13). The booking process was really straight forward with great instructions on the confirmation email. We were greeted by James who was really friendly and informative. I had a fear from a previous canoe experience, James was extremely patient and helpful. We had a fantastic 2 hours on the lough, experiencing the seals and enjoying the beautiful water. My nerves appeased during the experience, so much so that we finished our time with a pier jump. We will definitely be back and was a great family experience.

The family had a wonderful time on the kayaks. James was extremely helpful with the booking and made us feel very welcome when we arrived ahead of our session. The weather was spectacular too which made the experience even better 👍
