Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We had a river trip with three kids 10 to 14. We got a variety of scenery - narrow passages through reeds, quiet lake, windy river, Menlo castle. Jim was a good guide and well equipped. He had two tow ropes, which proved essential, because when we hit wind coming up the river the going was too tough for the two younger kids, so he towed one and I towed the other (older kid was fine on his own). We would not have got far without the tow ropes. He also had a sail for going with the wind, and snacks for kids. The boats are good at going straight, and stable.

Fantastic kayak tour operator. This is my second trip with Kayakmór; the first one was near Cong / Ashford Castle with my family, and the second one was an exploratory tour from Ross Lake to Ballyquirke Lake with friends. Even if you are familiar with the location, looking at it from the water offers a unique viewpoint… Jim is a super guide - very thorough from the start in prep and safety, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area you get to see during the trip. Kayakmór suits all levels. Would highly recommend Kayakmór and can’t wait for the next trip!

My partner and I booked a river tour with Jim so we could familiarise ourselves with safe kayak spots to bring the kids on our own kayaks. He showed us all the cool interesting spots and gave us great safety tips. He’s a super nice, fun and easy going. We were struck by his genuine passion for kayaking and his deep respect and love of nature. Would highly recommend, thanks Jim, see you on the river! 👍

We had an amazing experience kayaking with Jim and Tim. They made sure everyone was safe and comfortable in their kayaks (age range for our group is from 40ish to 70ish and everyone was included and enjoyed the adventure) Anyone who needed a bit of help got towed!! We paddled from Menlo Pier to the Quincentennial Bridge and back. The lads served hot drinks while we were on the water. It was wonderful to be immersed in nature and feel the tranquility of the river punctuated by lots of laughter while getting to grips with manoeuvring the kayak out of the reeds and figuring how to go forwards, backwards and turn around.

My friend and me had a great morning with Jim. We left Menlo pier and went till Galway city center by the Corrib river, it was a great experience. We are beginner in kayak but that was not a problem at all, everything was clearly explained by Jim. He is really nice and patient, we had a lot of fun.
I would love to do it again.

This was a marvellous experience paddling the bucolic Lough Corrib, Ireland’s largest lake. Arranged by phone prior to our holiday we met our host Jim at Kilbeg Pier 30 mins north of Galway and after a safety talk we were fully kitted out in wet suits and buoyancy aids. Despite our family being a mix of complete novices and infrequent paddlers we chose individual kayaks. We were blessed with perfect conditions, the only ripples caused by our paddles and spent the next 3 hours exploring the Lough with Jim as our guide, pointing out the local flora, fauna and surroundings. There is nothing negative to say. Weather perfect, the peace and serenity of the water unspoilt by crowds or motor craft, good company and just the right amount of time on the water. Would wholly recommend Kayakmor and Jim if you are looking for an active few hours in this beautiful part of the world

Hi. Are there 3-person kayaks, by any chance? We are 2 adults and a 12-year old girl, and would want to go out in a boat together. (We will be there in July.) Thanks!

Hi, there is one boat in the fleet that can cater for 3 ,but I would advise possibly looking at going in singles or one double and one single.
