Action and adrenaline… with mud at no extra charge! We drag you around a field at 20KM/hr on a modified surf board with a 650CC Honda ATV Quad Bike… and have you begging for more!

Take the challenge and see who can stay on the board the longest.

Perfect for your stag and hen parties!

This is especially popular for schools & clubs and kid’s birthday parties.

Our instructors will guide complete beginners and improvers to steady your aim!

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.
