Begin your adventure by making your way to the meeting point, located just 3.5 km from Galway City Centre. Choose to arrive by foot, bus, taxi, or car. If you’re driving, consider parking in the city and using public transport, so your car is waiting at the finish.
Once you arrive, receive all the necessary equipment, including a white water raft, buoyancy aids, paddles, a waterproof storage for clothes/shoes you wish to keep dry, and a map of the Corrib River.
Set off on a relaxing journey down the Corrib River, taking in picturesque landscapes and local wildlife along the way. Go at your own pace and enjoy the peace and quiet of the river.
