    Amazing folks who went out of their way to accommodate a special request
    I live in Texas, found Dunmore Adventure on the web, and contacted them to see if they could direct me to someone in the area who could help me fulfill my Irish mother's wish for her ashes to be scattered in Tramore Bay. Although it's not their line of business, they graciously offered to take it on. Karen, Aine, and the crew could not have been nicer throughout the entire process. They kept us updated on weather and we went out on the optimal day. The boat ride was smooth and beautiful. Our crew was warm, friendly, and respectful. It was a perfect experience. I am forever grateful.
    Thanks so much for your lovely review. Dave and Tom were happy to make your emotional day as comfortable as possible, and we were glad to be able to accommodate your mothers last wish.

    So much fun!
    The Dunmore activity centre were amazing this weekend, seamlessly rearranging a morning of activities around storm warnings for a group of 16 adults. We had an absolute ball and our instructor Andy was a joy. Thank you!

    Wow! What an amazing learning expierence over two-days which included alot of fun. My instructor's name is Oscar. His knowlege and expierence, I rate as excellent, and of course his easy going teaching style suited me perfectly. This included a watchful eye regarding both crew and boat safety at all times. Thank you so much Oscar. And, to Dunmore Adventure for accommodating me. What a fantastic location, beautiful. Many thanks, Martin.

    Sea Kayaking with Dunmore East Adventure
    Did the hour long sea kyak. Our guide was Finn(hope I have name right). He was very knowledgeable about the area and, surprisingly Aussie rules! Very professional and made us feel confident and relaxed. We had lovely weather and the kit was great. From start to finish it was a lovely experience. Thank you very much will be recommending the Adventure centre to friends and family.
    Thank you so much for awarding 5 stars for your kayaking experience! We have passed on your lovely review to Finn (you got the name right!) and we hope to see your friends and family in the future!

    Let the adventure begin
    As we were staying in Waterford we decided to book a kayaking session. We were really lucky to get booking as most of them were booked this day. It was a great day weather wise which added to the fun. Our female guide was professional and friendly and very informative about the local history. To be honest all the staff we came across that day were really friendly. Book early well worth a visit.
    Hi Jraf! Im glad that we were able to fit you in on the day for your kayaking session, thanks for the thumbs up for our staff, they are indeed a great bunch! Hope to see you again soon :)

    Starfish camp- a huge hit
    My daughter Sophia attended the starfish camp this week at Dunmore adventure. She is 5 and lived every minute of it. The young leaders were so competent and lovely to the children and made them felt at ease. I will highly recommend the camp to others and Sophia will probably end up doing it again this summer as she loved it so much. There is a lovely relaxed atmosphere around the centre also and management and everyone are very friendly and welcoming.
    Hi there Cora Thank you for taking the time to let us know how Sophia enjoyed the Starfish Camp! We have such good fun with the 5 & 6 year olds, their curiosity and sense of fun is amazing. We will surely see Sophia again soon! Thanks again

    Fantastic time
    Grand daughter has a fantastic time here . Land and sea activities . They all wear life jackets so don’t have to be champion swimmers . Guilt free time for you as the children have great fun and make new friends.
    Thanks a million for your lovely review! We have lots of Grandparents dropping kids off for activities, and rest assured the youngsters will be ready for a bit of a siesta when theyre finished!!

    Best 90 min Adventure!!!
    The Sea Safari is a must do when visiting Dunmore East! Operators Dunmore Adventure Centre were excellent…booking was easy and staff went out of their way to ensure the very best experience! Skipper Gary was outstanding! Safety and comfort were top priorities to ensure every guest got the most out of their 90 minute adventure! Incredible historical knowledge shared…Hook Head, Loftus Hall, Creadan Caves, Duncannon Fort….
    Many thanks for your great review of our Sea Safari Adventure! We are lucky to have an area not only of great beauty but that is also rich in historical interest! We hope that you will visit us again in the future 😄

Dunmore Adventure's wibit is quite good but the one at Baysport one beside the Hodson Bay hotel is 10 times better and much bigger. However our children did have good fun on it regardless. My annoyance came when we paid another 20 Euros per child for the child to have an hour on the giant Stand up Paddle Board (SUP) (so 60 Euros) on top of the 60 euros we had already paid for the 50 minutes on the Wibit.
So that was 120 Euros in total and the children didn't even get to go on the giant SUP - they were given much smaller ones which were not much larger than our own SUP. They do have youngsters keeping an eye on the kids on the SUP so that is good but they don't do much at all.
I felt the SUP part was definitely a bit of a ripoff.

We went out in the Sea safari with Dunmore adventure today and it was a fantastic experenice. Dave was our pilot/skipper of this amazing boat today and he was very friendly, highly experienced and a super guide. We started in the harbour at Dunmore East and after a short trip around the harbour so we could get used to being onboard we headed out across to Hook lighthouse. Zipping over waves we were across in about 5 minutes. We were given well informed information about the lighthouse and then we headed back along the Wexford coastline passed Loftus Hall and then back across to the Waterford side of the bay. Visiting small coves, spotting bird colonies, a seal or
2, sandstone cliffs, etc. Loved this experience as did the rest of the family. Highly recommend.

We booked in for an hours kayaking as a couple. From start to finish the staff were fantastic, they were having the craic with everyone and you could see them making young kids feel at ease.
We had never kayaked before and my god its more of a workout than you would ever believe!!! Ronan was our instructor and he was so tolerant of us being such slow coaches and crashing into him. He was good fun and was taking time to chat to everyone and get to know them a bit. He gave us food reccomendations and told us how to access the coves, he really helped the rest of our day run smoothly and with ease. Highly reccomend a day out here and will definitely return with the kids!

I brought 5 children, 4 teens and a 9 year old to the Wibit in Dunmore Adventure Centre and what a time they had! Every single staff member we met was helpful, polite and welcoming. The 9 year old struggled at first trying to swim to the start with the lifejacket/bouyancy vest. Surprisingly her 2 teen brothers took her by the hand to help her! But then a young helper from the Wibit spotted her and came to assist. He brought her out to the Wibit and helped her climb up. I watched this young fella for a while and he was fantastic. He was constantly watching. Always waiting to step in and assist anyone who needed help. I was sitting on the shoreline watching and another mother commented exactly the same thing, without me mentioning anything. She had obviously been watching her own children and spotted this young man helping them a number of times too. I was so impressed by him that I made sure to compliment him to the office before leaving. I found out his name was Cian.

The 5 came off after an hour delighted, exhausted and starving! The 2 teens boys came off laughing and mentioned one of the workers, Cody, who made their experience so much better by generally messing with them, shaking obstacles, making them fall off into the water etc. All part of the fun. They also said he was messing with them, because he knew they were up for it. But when other smaller or more nervous children were around he made sure they were safe and comfortable and didn't shake obstacles etc for them.

On top of a high slide was another young man named Rian. He spent the hour giving people a helping hand to the top. Dragging people up the last few steps. Providing "crowd control" at the top of the slide/jumping area and generally encouraging and reassuring anyone who might have been a bit apprehensive.

These 3 youngsters were an absolute credit to the Dunmore Adventure Centre, so much so I went out of my way to find out their names. I hope the feedback reaches them and they realise what an asset they are.

We will definitely be back and and plan to book an earlier time slot and go kayaking afterwards.

Thank you to all in Dunmore Adventure Centre.

Many thanks for your fantastic review of your families experience on our Wibit Aquapark, and in particular, Cody, Rian and Cians interaction with your kids. Our staff are indeed a credit to the business, without them, it wouldn't be half as fun! I thank you again for your comprehensive review, and hope that your kids will come back again soon to have even more fun on our activities. I have already posted this review up in the staff canteen on our 'Wall of Fame" 😄

I visited Dunmore Adventure with my family to try out some Stand up Paddle Boarding. We had a fantastic experience, and the activity was very enjoyable for all of the family. The facilities are excellent, the adventure centre is located beside the waters edge with a shop, cafe (closed outside summertime) and changing rooms, all equipment is supplied for your activities. Their showers are not available at the moment due to Covid restrictions. Our Instructor, Garry, was a wealth of information and had plenty of stories about the local history. We were also lucky enough to see some seals and plenty of bird life along the way. The kids loved the rock jumping in one of the coves while we sat back and watched them.

Unfortunately their Aquapark wasn’t open this time of the year so we will just have to organise another visit down there!

Thank you team Dunmore Adventure we will be back!

We did the obstacle course on water, the Wibit Wipeout. The obstacle course was really good but it would not have been half as good if it wasn’t for the energy and enthusiasm, and the kindness, of the centre’s staff. My son was a little overwhelmed and wasn’t going to do it but one of the lifeguards (Oran) swam to shore and with gentle encouragement and chats about superhero’s and movies, managed to get my son onto the Wibit. The lifeguard then stayed with my son until he was confident enough to manage on his own. Another lifeguard (Kasey) was also exceptionally kind to my son and daughter and I can’t praise them enough. They were just lovely and a great example of how kindness and patience can make a child feel safe and confident. Thank you.

If visiting Waterford Wibit (Dunmore Adventure) has to be top of your list. The location, the professionalism, the friendliness, the fun is second to none. As soon as we arrived the staff were extremely attentive and made the kids feel so welcome. The adults had fabulous coffee overlooking all the activities taking place. At the end we needed to use the bathroom facilities and a staff member checked the room and even freshened up the floor- such a service. Thanks for a great afternoon and we can’t wait to go back.

Kids thoroughly enjoyed Wibit. Well worth a try. Kayaking not as enjoyable as we have often done it before and we're allowed no freedom to discover so not much value for the price. Would recommend the kayaking for beginners only.

We had the pleasure of booking an activity just 24 hours in advance, and our experience was nothing short of splendid. Upon arrival, we found everything to be laid-back yet organized, providing an atmosphere of ease and comfort. The staff was incredibly accommodating, displaying a deep understanding of a health condition within our group, which truly showcased their knowledge and expertise.

Our children had an unforgettable time, their enjoyment evident in their smiles and laughter. Following our exciting activities, we had some great food that was simply the cherry on top of a perfect day.

What particularly struck us was the staff's attention to detail. They made sure to engage the children in a meaningful way while maintaining a safe environment. All these details, no matter how small, combined to create a positively rewarding experience we won't soon forget.
