O Connors B&B suggested we call Patrick if we wanted to sea kayak. We did and he picked us up in Doolin and drove 6 of us up to Ballyvaughan. It was colder than when we were here last year at the same time but Patrick had wet suits for all of us. We did a circle of the bay... More

Today my sister and I went out seakayaking with Patrick and it was such an incredible experience!! neither of us have gone seakayaking before, but we picked it up in no time with Patrick's amazing instructing! We have been in the Doolin area for about 5 days now, and today's seakayaking experience was by far our favourite day!! The weather... More

The trip was very enjoyable and... More

Patrick & Kelly (Owners) went above and beyond to assist us in planning our trip to County Clare in March 2012. They love their business and it shows in their service. On the day of our tour, we were treated to a paddle around the Galway Bay near Ballyvaughan, Ireland. Unfortunately the time of year was not prime for viewing... More

We had a really great time. It was fantastic to be able to get on the lake after about thirty minutes. The day was exhausting but great fun - jumping in the lake afterwards for a swim completed the day. A great way to experience Ireland - thank you

Patrick was a really good instructor and kayaking guide. He clearly knows his stuff about the local wild-life and history. Myself and my partner went on a sea-kayaking tour of Ballyvaughan and although the weather was interchangeable we still had a great time. We did some challenging kayaking during the windy spells, but Patrick was super encouraging and didn’t push... More

I went on the Ballyvaughan tour with Patrick. There's plenty to see as you navigate around the islands in the bay. The kayaks are very good, and Patrick's pre-trip instructions re the equipment, safety and techniques are excellent. As a novice looking to take up the sport Patrick gave me great advice on training, types of kayaks and what equipment... More

I took two trips with the North Clare Sea Kayaking company in August. Patrick our guide was so patient and knowledgable about the sea and the wildlife. We paddled on the first day in the harbour around Ballyvaughan. We saw seals, fish and lots of birds and the sea was like glass. Ideal for beginners. The following week we headed... More

We had a great trip with Patrick when we were in Ireland. Since our group of four was made up entirely of beginners, Patrick suggested the trip from Ballyvaughan and he was very careful to select a day that the waters would be calm. We had a great time seeing the seals, lots of birds and a castle that would... More
