What Go With The Flow Multi-Day Canoe Holidays and Glamping Packages Include

Go With The Flow offers three multi-day products on the River Barrow: a two-day self-guided canoe hire from Goresbridge to St. Mullins (from €95 per person), a three-day self-guided hire from Leighlinbridge to St. Mullins (from €129 per person), and a three-day package combining two nights of luxury glamping at Base Glamp with a river adventure (from €329 per person). All are self-guided, suitable for ages 12+, require no prior experience, and include all equipment. The prices above are the "from" rates shown on the operator's site; confirm the final quote, group size limits and what happens in bad weather when booking.

The multi-day canoe hire routes

These are self-guided trips: you paddle at your own pace, and the operator supplies the canoe and equipment. The site states that all equipment is supplied and no experience is needed.

The three-day route is the longer of the two, starting further upstream at Leighlinbridge and finishing at the same endpoint, St. Mullins. The site describes three days on the Barrow as "a deep dive into tranquility." Both trips end at St. Mullins, so plan your return transport from there.

What to plan for

• One-way routes. Both trips finish at St. Mullins, not where you start. Arrange a lift or shuttle back to your car before you set off.
• Daily distance. The three-day trip covers more ground than the two-day one, so expect longer paddling days or an extra night on the river.
• Fitness and age. The minimum age is 12 for both. The site does not publish daily distances, so ask the operator how many hours of paddling each day involves if you are unsure about stamina.
• Gear. Equipment is supplied, but the site does not list exactly what is included (for example, dry bags or barrels). Confirm this when booking so you know what to bring.

The glamping and river adventure package

The "Two Nights Luxury Glamping at Base Glamp & River Adventure" runs for three days from €329 per person. It pairs two nights in a cabin at Base Glamp with time on the River Barrow. The site describes the cabin as Base Glamp's "new sleeping experience cabin."

The page does not specify which river activity is included in this package, how long the paddling portion lasts, or whether meals are provided. Treat the €329 as a starting rate and ask the operator directly about:

• the exact river activity and its duration
• whether the cabin sleeps a group or is priced per person sharing
• check-in and check-out times relative to the paddle

How these compare with shorter options

If a multi-day trip is more than you want, the same operator runs shorter experiences that use the same river and equipment setup:

• Valley of the Monks – half or full day self-guided canoe hire, 3 or 6 hours, from €35 per person, ages 7+
• The Kilkenny Trail – one-day hire from Goresbridge to Graiguenamanagh, 5–6 hours, from €55 per person, ages 12+
• The Tranquility Trail – guided flat-water experience, 3 hours, from €65 per person, ages 16+
• Spills & Thrills – guided white-water experience, 2 hours, from €39 per person, ages 7+
• Corporate Days Out – team-building kayak adventure, 2.5–3 hours, from €65 per person

The multi-day hires are the best fit if you want to cover a long stretch of the Barrow and set your own schedule. The one-day Kilkenny Trail is the closest shorter alternative, using the same Goresbridge starting point as the two-day trip.

Choosing between the packages

• Pick the two-day hire if you want a weekend on the water with one overnight and a shorter overall route.
• Pick the three-day hire if you want the fullest river journey and don't mind a longer commitment; it starts further upstream and gives you more time on the water.
• Pick the glamping package if comfortable accommodation matters as much as paddling, and you'd rather have your nights arranged for you. It costs considerably more per person than the bare hire trips, so the premium buys the cabin stay rather than extra river time.

For all three, book ahead and confirm the practical details — return transport from St. Mullins, what equipment is provided, and the cancellation policy for poor weather — since the site's listings give prices and durations but not these terms.
