About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- O6940BNalicet0 contributionsGreat experience!Me and my boyfriend had such a fun time kayaking around the lake on this experience, the guides were great, all equipment was provided and Kieran even took pictures for us while on the water and sent them after :)Written 23 August 2024
- Claire W0 contributionsRelaxing October afternoon spent paddling on the lake!Kieran was welcoming, friendly & explained well how to navigate the kayak. He gave us time to find our bearings and we quickly got the hang of kayaking! He chatted as we paddled along to the lonely tree telling us about the local area/historical buildings that we could see lining the lake. Once the lesson had finished we launched ourselves into the lake! Would 100% recommend joining Kieran if you are in the area as he will look after you!Written 16 October 2023
- O9788UUjoser0 contributionsHighly recommended if you are in the Snowden areaReally great experience which I did with my 8 year old daughter. Perfect for those who don’t have experience of kayaking. Our guide Kieran was friendly and knowledgeable.Written 30 August 2022

The experience was amazing and we saw the mountains of Snowdonia from a new perspective, while having lots of fun!

Me, my best friend and two teenage sons booked a morning Kayak session, we all had a fantastic time exploring the Lake, the boys had a swim, jumping in the lake during a leg stretch and rope swinging.
Despite spending many years living 10 minutes away and regular visits to the lake, there was so much I didn't know and have learnt from Morgan, it was fascinating.
It was really good fun and Morgan was excellent, and really good helping two argumentative teens Kayak as a Team.
Take the advice and wear a high factor suncream on the lake, I wore factor 30 and my legs fried.
It was a fantastic experience and I'd recommend it to anyone 😊

What an amazing experience me and my Husband had on the kayaks. Kieran our tour guide was superb and was very knowledgeable about the stunning Snowdonia area. We have walked round Lake Padern a lot but it’s a totally different experience on the water and we would definitely recommend taking part in this fabulous activity.

Thoroughly enjoyed this trip and was able to book it last minute which was great. Kieran was very knowledgable, the kayaks & other equipment were great quality and the trip was a lot of fun. Kieran managed to get us away from the crowds on the lake and explore a little further afield which is as a result of his local knowledge. Will absolutely be recommending this experience to anyone heading this way and would not hesitate to do it again!
Also really useful that kieran is able to take photos of you/ your group which are available for purchase after.

Amazing Kayak trip in Snowdonia. Our guide Kieran was very friendly. Comfortable kayaks. Clean wet suits & shoes for a more comfortable trip. Kieran brought us to non busy places on the lake which felt like a privilege during a busy bank holiday week end. We had the opportunity to swim and use a rope swing for even more fun. Definitely recommend to anyone !

First off our guide Kieran was such a pleasure to be taken around the lake with so knowledgeable and passionate about the lake and all that surrounds it! We had amazing weather and you could see how genuinely pleased he was that he could share the beauty of the lake with the group! A few stops off with even more history something we didn't realize came with the trip and it just made it even more special! Will definitely return again someday!

I great day with Kieran giving good instructions on kayaking. Really good at what he does. Information on the local area and points of interest around the lake at various points during the day.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants that little bit more out of day kayaking.
The ball games during the row was a nice touch where everyone got to have a bit of fun.

We did the guided kayak tour (dad and 19 yr old and 16yr old) in llanberis a couple of days ago. We had an absolutely awesome time. Our guide Kieran was excellent and answered all our questions as well as engaging us in conversation. We never felt that we were asked to hurry or do anything we weren’t confident of. Apart from the kayaking there were rope swings and derelict buildings to look at, as well as interesting points of interest on the lake.
All in all an excellent activity to do with the kids.

I booked on a quiet day and ended up being alone with Kieran the instructor. I had a great time chatting and seeing the surrounding mountains and historic sites. Kieran knew lots about the area so there was plenty to learn. At the end we swung on the rope swing into the lake which was fun. Kieran took photos and videos along the way which was offered to me on a very reasonably priced USB stick at the end. Definitely would do again on my next visit to Snowdonia.

We'd fully recommend Paradise Kayaking, Kieran was a great guide, very informative with good knowledge of the local area.
The tour was relaxed and everyone felt safe. Decent amount of time in the water too. Cheers

I'm planning a trip next May and looking at the times on this page, is this kayak tour really a 12 hour event or am I just reading the site wrong?
Written 16 October 2023
No, the one I did was 2 hours, which was plenty for me.
