Common questions

Where can I do kayaking in Donegal?

Atlantic Northwest Kayaking, Gartan OETC, Sea Kayaking Donegal. Each appears because a national governing body lists them, not because we assessed them.

Are there kayaking trails in Donegal?

2 on Sport Ireland's National Trails Register, each with a verified start point. The register records waymarked routes only, so unmarked water and informal routes aren't counted.

Do I need my own equipment for kayaking in Donegal?

Not to start. Accredited centres supply equipment for beginner sessions, which is part of what the accreditation covers. Confirm what's included when you book, because hire and instruction are often priced separately.
