We have an excellent range of hybrid bikes and mountain bikes for you to use on our own rough tracks or on a self-led cycling tour in the area. Bicycles can be hired by the half day, day or week. Equipment is provided and we also provide a unique break-down service. More...

Eclipse has walks to suit all with heritage walks and hill-walking. If you prefer a rush of adrenalin why not have a go at rock-climbing or abseiling with highly experienced and qualified instructors.

Practise makes perfect. Try your hand at the ancient skill of archery.

 

You can take part in tranquil inshore bay and lake kayaking with the only noise the sound of your paddle breaking the water, or there's river and white water kayaking for the more adventurous. The centre is close to some of the most scenic coastal paddling in Kerry. Kingfishers, otters, dolphins and seals are just a small sample of the wildlife we frequently encounter.
