Prices are "from" rates per person as listed on the site; confirm the final price for your group size and date when booking.

Guided Experiences

Spills & Thrills – Guided White Water

A 2-hour guided white water adventure on the River Barrow, open to ages 7+ from €39 per person. This is the shortest and lowest-priced entry point, and the guided format suits families with young children or anyone who wants an instructor along for the livelier sections.

The Tranquility Trail – Guided Flat Water

A 3-hour guided flat water experience from €65 per person, minimum age 16. Choose this if you want a calmer pace and a guide's commentary, and your group is all teenagers or adults.

Corporate Days Out

A 2.5–3 hour guided team-building kayak session from €65 per person, positioned by the company as a team performance activity. The site does not state a minimum age for this option, so ask when enquiring.

Self-Guided Hire Trails

Valley of the Monks – Half or Full Day

Self-guided canoe hire for 3 or 6 hours from €35 per person, suitable for ages 7+. The site describes it as the option for escaping crowds and setting your own pace, which makes it the most flexible choice for families with younger children who want to stop when they like.

The Kilkenny Trail – One Day (Goresbridge to Graiguenamanagh)

A 5–6 hour one-way canoe trail from €55 per person, ages 12+. The site calls this stretch probably the most beautiful, fun, and interesting canoe trail on the Barrow — a good fit for a full day out with older children.

Multi-Day Hires

• Two Day Hire – Goresbridge to St. Mullins: 2 days from €95 per person, ages 12+.
• Three Day Hire – Leighlinbridge to St. Mullins: 3 days from €129 per person, ages 12+.

These are for groups comfortable committing to consecutive days on the water; the three-day version covers the longest stretch and is described as a deep dive into tranquility.

Package Option

Two Nights Luxury Glamping at Base Glamp & River Adventure

A 3-day package from €329 per person combining two nights in a cabin at Base Glamp with a river adventure. This is the only listed option that includes accommodation, so it suits visitors planning a short break rather than a single activity.

How to Choose

• Youngest children (7+): Spills & Thrills (guided, 2 hrs) or Valley of the Monks (self-guided, 3 or 6 hrs).
• All-adult group wanting a guide: The Tranquility Trail.
• Full day, self-paced: The Kilkenny Trail.
• Multi-day paddling trip: the 2- or 3-day hires.
• Work group: Corporate Days Out.
• Weekend away with accommodation: the glamping package.

Every experience includes equipment and requires no experience, so the deciding factors are age minimums, duration, whether you want a guide, and budget. The company has operated as a small family business since 1996, and testimonials describe guides sharing local history along the way — useful if you are weighing guided versus self-guided.
