    I don't often write reviews, however, this trip deserves a 5* mention. From initial contact, right through to getting off the boat, the experience was exceptional. While we had lovely weather on the day, which obviously added to the already amazing scenery, the most enjoyable part was simply down to the skipper and his crew. The warm Irish welcome, light hearted yet informative commentary and overall service are a credit to Irish tourism Industry. It was an absolute pleasure to be on-board and was a highlight of our 4 day trip to this region. Well done Corrib Cruises.

    Excellent customer service and went above and beyond for us. Travis was extremely accommodating on the phone and Danny was good enough to bring our bags to Achill for us to save the back some hassle on the Greenway! Highly recommend the Greenway and using Clew Bay Bike hire if you do.

    Great time with the lads from Surf Mayo. Highly recommend!
    We went on a stag a weekend in October, luckily got decent weather for it which helped. None of the group had surfed before so nobody knew what to expect. The lads where brilliant, gave us a quick safety brief and initial instruction and sent us on our way. After 20mins or so called us back for some more pointers and off we went. By the end at least half the group where actually standing on the board catching some waves to our own surprise.

    Would definitely go back again. Also cured any hangover from the previous night and set us up for the coming night.

    Thanks again to Elvis and Charles

    Had a fantastic trip with Belmullet Boat Charters to Inishkea. On the tour our guide Kea shared lots of interesting stories and the history of the island. Afterwards we still had plenty of time to explore on our own. The journey out and back was comfortable with amazing views. Highly recommend a swim on one of the beautiful white sandy beaches

    Brilliant lessons with Jude who looked after my son and his two friends for a 16th birthday treat. They had such a great time, we booked another 2 hour lesson for the following day! Really professional school and great teachers - the boys were standing on their boards in the first 20 minutes. They didn't stop talking about it for the rest of the weekend!

    We returned for a 2nd year for paddle boarding fun. It was the first time for my husband and son (9) so they were booked in for a lesson. Despite a bad start for us (car trouble had us running late), the team was so gracious and understanding. SUP instructor Catherine was so patient and fun. She gave us a private area to change and sorted us all with life vests (wetsuits were optional but we didn’t avail as it was so hot). She made sure the girls (13, 11) and I got out on the water with our rentals while the boys had their practical ‘how to’ class. Before we knew it we were all out on the water together - on the boards and off them too at times. As always the water was pristine and so calm and safe. Catherine made sure we stayed safe - especially with the youngest being a newbie to SUP. She gave him great confidence though and he took to it no bother. Great experience and I’m sure we’ll be back again next year too! Thanks a mill! :)

    Be honest! We have all been putting off catching up with family and friends since covid. We got used to our own company and skipping the annual gathering. Well no need to put off the family gathering, reunion with friends, stag/hen any longer. Collanmore island is the spot for you. Take the reins as the family social committee and Ciaran will not let you down.

    I organised the stay for my extended family (Ages 11 plus) for a two night weekend trip in July. Just to firstly note that the island was well beyond our expectations (even though I had very high expectations in the first place). From the views to the massive hot tub. The bedrooms to the pub. Everything was amazing! I'm surprised Ciaran actually rents it out and just doesnt keep it to himself to live. I would never leave the island if I lived there.

    Firstly, we started our evening with a family BBQ. After that we moved onto a few drinks with chats and games in the cocktail bar area and personnel pub! It was a late night to say the least. The next morning we had an amazing kayaking session which is a must do. Ciaran made it super fun by including challenges throughout and taking us around the bay. We spend the rest of the day lounging in the sun, enjoying the massive hot tub and hiking to the viewpoint. A few final jumps off the pier into the sea, our takeaway was delivered by boat for us all to enjoy before a few drinks around the camp fire for our last evening. If I have not sold this to you already as the perfect getaway for a big group there must be something wrong.

    Ciaran and his team went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfect. They really went the extra mile. For example they went out of their way to get an extra takeaway for one of our family members that had dietary requirements. Special thanks to Nigel too that was brilliant helping our with the kayaking session and delivering our takeaway by boat!

    We will definitely be back. A weekend that we will never forget. I know its always going to be a topic brought up at every family gathering. 10 out of 10 experience.

    We just got back from a trip to Ireland. While in Cong we did Ashford equestrian and went on the boat tour. The horseback riding was amazing, and we had the most beautiful horses. I do wish we (or I, the other guest in my party was a beginner) could have had an opportunity to move a little faster, or do more than walk on, but no worries. We were on the biggest horses I have ever ridden and they were great (though a bit hungry for snacks at every branch). We saw so much of the property that we would have missed, too lazy or cold to walk that far on foot. Our horse handler was kind and took photos for us with the castle behind us when I asked.
    The boat ride was incredible too- Captain Patrick has a wealth of historical information that he shared with the guests. He is second generation in this position, so he really knows it all, as he grew up on these boat tours with his father. Mr. O'Brien was full of great information as well and provided phenomenal service to the guests in the lower level (warm drinks, great stories, and a good time). The two make a super team, and we are so lucky we were able to catch their hour long tour. I highly recommend it- for the information and the incredible views you can't see on land.

    Spent two days with Seamus and Fionn to complete the National Powerboat Certificate. The course is very practical in its presentation and upon completion, you realise that you have acquired skills that will prove very useful in boat preparation, boat handling, manoeuvres and the safety aspects required to skipper your own craft. I highly recommend Bellacragher Bay Boat Club and I intend doing further courses with them. Apart from the boating aspects of the course, the training area is spectacular - sea, mountains , wildlife - can’t praise the experience enough. Thank you Seamus and Fionn.
