Excellent experience..the tour was the highlight of our Connemara stay.. The tour guide was excellent, interesting and informative..the oysters were fantastic!!

Fun, challenging adventure coaststeering on the wild atlantic way - loved it. Fully recommend!

For oyster lovers or not-the experience is uniquely exceptional. We learned about the area, various oysters-habitat and more. Pia and the DK team are knowledgeable, accommodating, and helped with our last minute reservation. Highly recommend!

My guide was amazing! Being in the cove, with the wild Atlantic at our mouth, was quite exhilarating! A baby seal followed us pretty closely, and kept peeking at us for attention, like a little puppy!We had inclement weather, that developed while we were on the water, with lots of current, and yet our guide knew what to do without cutting our tour short. I would definitely do again!!

Fans of canyoning, it was our 1st experience with coastering: wild, quite a bit of swimming, jumping, climbing on rocks, caves and playing with the current

Our guide was amazing! He took time to show us sea plants and animals. Very knowledgeable and so cool!! It was beautiful scenery and the kayak was easy to navigate.

I had a great experience during seeing and photographing Red Deer with my guide Mark. He was friendly and knowledgeable and being a photographer himself understood the best positions and light conditions for photos . I really enjoyed the afternoon and got some lovely photos.

Our guide, Pia , did a wonderful job. She kept our small group engaged explaining the history and changes of oyster farming in the area. The different current methods are fascinating. Sampling at the end was delicious!

What an interesting info session about the process of growing/cultivating oysters ! It was extremely informative, educational and fun - a very good show and tell with lots of examples to touch, feel and see. Pia was wonderful - so pleasant and very knowledgeable!The farm is very rustic and authentic - not commercial at all which added to the experience ! Highly recommend this !!

I had am amazing day out in the sea, scrambling on rocks, swimming, and jumping. It was a gorgeous day. Both guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. They did a great job making sure everyone had a good time. I went on my own and it was fun to chat with the guides and the other participants. So glad I did this and would do it again!

This was an amazing experience but can be very physically challenging for people in their older years or who are unfit, not flexible and not strong.

Absolutely fabulous experience, went last year too with friends. So relaxing stunning views and great fun.

Great kayak trip with Eimantas as your companion! Beautiful landscapes, seals, seaweed, oystercatcher, ...

We’ve done a few kayak excursions in the past but this one was the most low key, calm and flawless. Dave was our guide, thorough, thoughtful and educated on the sea life and surrounding areas. Wetsuits (very well used) shoes and life vests provided. Bathroom and very open changing rooms available down at the beach too. We saw multiple curious seals, so that was fun lil surprise. The water and weather were beautiful as well. Wish I would’ve remembered a waterproof phone case so we could’ve documented/photographed our outing, but Dave did provide a few photos and videos on what’s app for us. Fun day, thanks!

Dave was an excellent guide who accommodated all abilities and ages seemlessly and safely. I loved him pointing out the different seaweeds, the hares racing on the beach, the seals he spotted and explaining why Connemara's sands are white. I felt "in" the view not looking at the view and the colours out on the water were wonderful. There could have been a personal email explaining about kit perhaps and timings but this was amazing for me. Thank you Dave.

Really great. Detailed and very informative explanations about this activity. It’s all the more interesting because they practice different techniques and are innovative. We walked to the farm located behind the sheds, accompanied by Molly, the Labrador who owns the place! 😉 Even the landscape is beautiful. The tasting concluded our visit and the oysters are delicious! (A little taste of cucumber!!!). Well done and thank you!!!
