Had a great coastal sea kayaking experience with Chris from Maghery Coastal Adventures today. 3 of us and a group family of 5 also. Chris showed us all the safety requirements of kayaking and gave us a helmet and life jacket. We headed off touring the Maghery coast and saw jellyfish herons and mackerel jumping out of the sea! Chris was very informative and told us about the local flora and fauna and local history also. I would highly recommend this tour and had great fun and enjoyment doing it.

We had a guided kayaking session with Stephen on Tuesday the 6th July. It was absolutely brilliant. Stephen was fantastic with our smallies (12 & 10); there were challenges, races, gorgeous Donegal scenary, and even a curious seal watching us. A lovely way to spend a couple of hours. Thanks Stephen.

I’ve been going on holiday to the Maghery area all my life, and this is the first time I’ve been out on the water. My 2 kids and I really enjoyed the kayaking with Stephen. Was a great instructor who also made it fun along the way. I would definitely recommend it!

Myself and 3 others did Kayaking during our time in Donegal a few weeks back with the instructor Michael. The instructor was very knowledgeable of both the sport and the surroundings. He was really sound also which made the experience very enjoyable. Couldn’t recommend the company and the instructor any more. Thanks!
