We did the shooing and the horse riding and really enjoyed both. The level of instruction was top notch, putting customers at ease both behind the gun and on the horses!

Celtic Rider

Reviewed By kacnelson1219 - Moberly, United States

We have traveled most of the US and Canada on Harley-Davidson’s but Paul convinced us the BMW GS1200 was what would work best for us in Ireland. He was absolutely right as the narrow twisting roads we would encounter was best suited for this motorcycle. Paul and his team made this the most memorable trip we ever experienced. Once you arrive at Celtic Rider you will choose your gear and Paul goes over the motorcycle with you so you are familiar with he controls and that it fits you correctly, the seats are adjustable to lower you down to get better footing as the GS is a tall bike compared to the Harley’s we are familiar with. The next step was the orientation class on rules of the road in Ireland, not having ridden on a he left side of the highway and doing round- about clockwise was a little intimidating but Paul made it easy to understand with the simple phrase Look Right Stay Left!! He then leads you on a short ride so you can experience what you just learned ,by the second day of the tour it was all second nature and no problem at all. I could go on and on about our experience in Ireland but I will leave it at this, if you could do only one fantastic trip of a life time pick the 14 Day Wild Atlantic Way tour with Celtic Rider you will never experience a more beautiful country with people that are so friendly that you think you are visiting family. This should be on everyone’s bucket list and we hope to be returning soon.

Clancy's Athy

Reviewed By robertZ1852JM - Athy, Ireland

Many years ago I used to be a regular for the Thursday night traditional music session. Now I seldom get the chance as Thursday nights are taken up with other things but I was there recently and its as good if not better than ever! Excellent pints and authentic music representing a living tradition. It is advisable to go early to make sure of a seat in the back room where the music is. The front bar is a good old fashioned pub with a decent clientele ( not greatly improved by my presence ) and, most importantly , great pints of Guinness.

We spent over two hours here earlier today. We opted for the family package with some add ons and went for the Tag Archery, Assault Course and Splat Master. The whole family had a fantastic day. We were reasonably prepared for all weathers and it was a "bit damp" to put it mildly but the adrenalin and non stop encouragement from the head marshal meant that we hardly noticed! Being based in Co. Kildare ourselves we are delighted that we found this adventure centre less than an hour's drive away and we will definitely be back (hopefully with better weather!) to try some of the other activities. Well done guys.

BargeTrip

Experience the Grand Canal the way it was intended and take a leisurely cruise on a restored traditional Canal Barge. Cruises operate from Sallins Harbour which is only 30 minutes from Dublin city center by train and is located just off the M7 motorway. The barge is available for private charter for groups any day of the week and operates up to 6 scheduled cruises daily at weekends. Kildare is known as the Canals County with 120 km of still waters crossing its landscape and linking its towns and villages. The Captain will give you a unique insight into the life and history of the Grand Canal as it winds its way through the county Kildare countryside. You can choose a short one hour cruise to the Leinster Aqueduct where the canal crosses over the River Liffey, or a 2.5 hour cruise through Digby Lock where you'll experience the workings of an eighteenth century canal lock. There's bar service on-board serving a selection on locally brewed craft beers and in summer there are two 1.5 hour evening cruises to McCreevey's Lock. Afterwards you can enjoy a meal in one of the waterfront restaurants in Sallins village. The M.V. Amo is licensed by the Department of Transport and Tourism for 12 passengers. There’s an outdoor seating on the open decks at the bow and stern and it has a very comfortable interior with ample seating, toilet facilities and a wood-burning stove. Scheduled cruises operate from March to October and advance booking is essential.

I can highly recommend Blackberry Stables. My husband and I took our two kids for a family riding lessons yesterday. We’d never been there before. Vincent and all his team of helpers could not have been nicer and made the experience so so enjoyable. Our kids LOVED every second of it. Big thanks to Eleanor for taking lovely photos for me throughout the hour. Very reasonably priced also.

Just spent a very enjoyable 1.5 hours in rye river brewing co. Simon the host for the tour is one of the nicest people you’ll meet and is very passionate and knowledgeable about the company and the beer. If you have any interest in beer I would highly recommend a tour. I can’t praise Simon enough. He made the tour extremely enjoyable.
