About

A family-run, 13-acre lakefront adventure centre on Scariff Bay, where kayaks, climbing walls and an obstacle course meet the calm channels that open onto Lough Derg.

Things to Do

Kayaking the Blueway

Paddle stable sit-on-top single or double kayaks along the winding channels towards Reddan's Quay (Tuamgraney) or out onto Lough Derg, where White-tailed Eagles nest nearby. Wetsuit, helmet and buoyancy aid are included, and shorter non-instructor-led Pay & Play taster sessions run on evenings and weekends with safety boat cover.

Canoeing, Paddleboarding and Lake Boats

Double Canadian canoes and paddleboards (SUP) open up the same sheltered water, and you can also take out a self-drive lake boat with life jackets, fuel and fishing equipment supplied. Bring a picnic basket; boat hire has its own booking line, 085 1577482.

Obstacle Course and Ziplines

The Fittest Family-style course runs monkey bars, balance beams, climbing towers and a ropes course around a running track. It is built to push athletes out of their comfort zone and works as a fun challenge for families or a competitive test for sports teams; ziplining is also on offer.

Climbing Wall and Archery

Land-based sessions include a climbing wall and archery, usually bundled with water activities into a half-day or full-day package. Instructors guide all levels, including first-timers.

Family and Group Days

Packages are tailored for families, schools, sports and corporate teams, hen and stag parties, and ability groups. Family days include a lunch in the afternoon, and a local caterer can put on a barbecue with pig or venison on a spit, with a mini bar in the Barge or Celtic Hut.

Overnight Stays

Groups can stay over in a bunk house (two dorms, up to 24), a self-catering chalet with kitchen, or camping and a hammock hut. Evenings centre on the fire pit and barbecue, sleeping up to about 30 people in total.

Plan Your Visit

  • Admission: Activity packages from €40 per person (Combo Land Only) or €50 (Combo Land & Water); birthday parties €30 per person.
  • Food: Food is arranged around group packages rather than a daily cafe: family packages include a lunch in the afternoon, and a local caterer can provide a barbecue with fresh local produce, including pig or venison on a spit. A mini bar is available for groups, and boat hirers are encouraged to bring a picnic basket.
