Group and Private Tour Options at Go With The Flow

Updated

Go With The Flow offers three main routes for groups: a structured corporate/team-building kayak day (2.5–3 hours, from €65 per person), featured group tours drawn from its standard guided and hire experiences, and bespoke private tours arranged on request. All equipment is supplied and no experience is needed, so mixed-ability groups can book without splitting up. The right choice depends on whether your group wants a facilitated team session, a ready-made river trail, or a custom itinerary.

Corporate and Team-Building Days

The dedicated corporate option is a 2.5 to 3 hour kayak session priced from €65 per person, positioned as a team-building activity on the River Barrow. This is the most structured group product: a defined duration, a per-person rate, and a team-performance framing rather than a leisure tour.

It suits companies that want a single half-day block with a clear start and finish. If your group is larger or wants a different format, the bespoke private tour route below is the alternative.

Featured Group Tours

Groups can also book the standard experiences as a group outing. These are the published options, with the minimum age and per-person starting price shown on the site:

Experience Duration Age From
Spills & Thrills – Guided White Water 2 hrs 7+ €39 pp
Valley of the Monks – Self-guided canoe hire 3 or 6 hrs 7+ €35 pp
The Tranquility Trail – Guided flat water 3 hrs 16+ €65 pp
The Kilkenny Trail – One day hire (Goresbridge to Graiguenamanagh) 5–6 hrs 12+ €55 pp
Two Day Hire – Goresbridge to St. Mullins 2 days 12+ €95 pp
Three Day Hire – Leighlinbridge to St. Mullins 3 days 12+ €129 pp
Two Nights Luxury Glamping + River Adventure 3 days — €329 pp

Two things matter when choosing for a group. First, the age floor: the 7+ options (Spills & Thrills, Valley of the Monks) are the only ones open to younger children, while the multi-day trails start at 12+ and the Tranquility Trail at 16+. Second, guided versus self-guided: guided options put a leader on the water, which is the safer fit for groups with nervous or first-time paddlers; self-guided hire lets the group set its own pace but expects the group to manage itself.

For a stag, hen, or mixed-ability group, the shorter guided experiences are the most direct match. A testimonial on the site describes a stag party where the group was split between kayaks and open canoes to suit a mix of abilities, with a guide providing local history and reassurance for those uneasy about the rougher sections of the river. That split-by-ability approach is worth requesting when you enquire.

Bespoke Private Tours

The site lists bespoke private tours as a separate category alongside featured group tours, which is the route for anything that doesn't fit the published products: unusual group sizes, combined activities, or a custom schedule. Details are arranged directly rather than published as a fixed package, so treat the listed prices as a starting reference only for the standard products, not as a quote for a private itinerary.

How to Enquire or Book

  1. Pick a format — corporate session, a published tour, or bespoke private.
  2. Check the age floor against the youngest person in your group; this alone rules options in or out.
  3. Decide guided or self-guided based on experience levels in the group.
  4. Contact Go With The Flow through the website to confirm availability, group size limits, and a final price for your date. The site's booking links sit on the individual experience pages and the glamping package.
  5. Flag group composition — mixed abilities, nervous paddlers, or a stag/hen occasion — so the team can assign kayaks versus open canoes and the right guide.

Expect to confirm the price at enquiry: the figures above are "from" rates per person, and the site does not publish group discounts, deposit terms, or minimum group sizes.
