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.

Brandon Bay is a must for every dedicated (kite)wavesurfer, smoothly organised by former irish champion Ryan Coote who took us on a roadtrip along his westcoast and its hidden treasures!! C ya Ryan. We will be back! Thank you, again, for being a hell of a tourguide ;)

One of the things about the Dingle peninsula is that there are loads of people who surf or kitesurf - and the conditions and locations are great for it. Take the wind and a bit of rain and boom - you have a sport that you can do in the Irish weather!
I got started learning to kitesurf last weekend, and I am hooked. Ryan, the owner of the business, is a great mix of laid back but meticulous, making sure that you learn how to rig your own equipment, understand the wind, and learn your basic skills of kite control before you progress to new skills and advancements. He also progresses you through different sizes of kites and lines as you do this, which keeps things challenging as well as great fun.
I would highly recommend Kitesurf Ireland and Ryan to try out this really awesome water sport! (I've just completed my 3rd lesson, and cannot wait to keep going!)

I was driving up the west coast and the forecast looked good, so connected with Ryan for a day rental. His van is loaded with all the toys you need and he's got great new kites. Super nice guy with really good info about the area. I hope to make it back for one of his surf tours! Will point family and friends here for lessons in Ireland.

Had a brilliant time touring around Ireland with Ryan. Well organised trip and explored alot of hidden gems. I progressed a lot with my kite surfing and wave riding skills. Overall a great experience that I look forward to doing again in the future. A big shout out to Ryan who always ensured everyone was safe and had a good time.

We had a fantastic week with Ryan. Every day we went to a new spot, chasing waves and wind. Every day new sensation of magnificent waves, beaches and beautiful unspoiled nature.
Ryan is the perfect guide for this amazing roadtrip and will do anything to make you happy. After this trip we all decided that we would come back to Ireland and to Brandon bay. Keep on surfing Ryan you are the best

Ryan is the Master. I go to Ryan every year to live my kitesurfing dreams. He knows every spot for every condition around this magical coastline. As an instructor he motivates and inspires me, keeping it always fun and exciting. He teaches safety first and the standard of his equipment shows this. Heading down to Castlegregory is the highlight of my year. Someday I will live there.
Thank you so much Ryan, you the man! Please keep doing what you do.

I booked in for a week long tour and got everything you would want from a kitetrip. Amazing spots around the dingle peninsula for all conditions and skill levels. With Ryan a guide who knows them all. He was not only our guide but also our teacher in all things wave kiting and we learned loads. Not just technique and how to stay safe out there but also the love for the ocean and the amazing playground wind and waves provide. Top that with good food and learning a thing or two about local history that is all I want from a kite teip. I‘ll be back for sure and will highly recommend the area and Ryan as a guide and teacher to who ever asks.

If you're looking for a guide to all the hidden gems of Irish wave kiting Ryan of Kitesurfireland is your man.
If you're looking for an experienced instructor from beginner to pro-level in kiting he's your man too!
I really enjoyed the time with him and all the variety Kitesurfing in Ireland has to offer.

Ryan is an extremely patient instructor and his method of teaching is very effective (I was up and running by the end of the second lesson). Ryan runs a very slick, professional operation and I would describe him like an extremely positive, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic Air Traffic Controller as he has the ability to patiently talk you through every step of the lesson/kite flight (he even has a speaker system in his helmets which I found saved on huge amount of time). He also takes some pics and videos to help with your full understanding of the drills/exercises etc which is handy to draw on days and weeks after the lesson.
Overall and most importantly, I would say that Ryan has given me the confidence to go Kitesurfing SAFELY. I highly recommend Kitesurfireland and a visit to the Dingle Peninsula.
Life is to short life not too….You won't be disappointed.

Ireland is just beautiful. And what a great place for kitesurfing. Ryan knows all spots and takes you to wherever conditions are best for riding. I never thought I would really enjoy waves but his enthusiasm, knowledge and tuition skills even made me buy a directional board. Definitely coming back again to really attack some waves! And to enjoy more of the beautiful nature, good food and drinks, and great company.
