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.

- Mobile022882548951 contributionWent with family for a teenage birthday and had the time of our lives. We had booked a taster session and got to climb a number of different walls with varying levels of difficulty. Our instructor Dennis was incredible, very polite and professional and full of encouragement. I would highly recommend a visit.Written 12 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Catarina C1 contributionI've been to the comedy club twice already with a few friends and we all had a great time!
They do an AMAZING crowd work and I can't wait for the chance to see more of these great artists' performances in the future!
The place is really nice, and the staff is even nicer. Plus, there's a lot of variety of drinks that you can choose from. Definitely recommend if you're visiting Cork.
Thank you Brian for organizing these shows and for being such a joyful person :)Written 4 March 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We didn't have as much time as we would have liked to hike around the island, but are really glad we made the trip! Exciting!Written 28 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Stewart ALondon, UK2 contributionsWe spent a wonderful evening on the water. The setting is spectacular and the kayaking is a fun way to immerse yourself in nature away from our usually hectic lives.
Our guides Oisin and Naoise did an amazing job bringing everything to life... nature, history and science. I loved the stories of the people and history of the area which left me wanting to explore and learn more.
We did experience the bioluminescence which came as a an added bonus but it would still have been a beautiful and memorable evening in West Cork regardless.Written 27 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone.Written 21 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Leah HCork, Ireland1 contributionOur team recently enjoyed a ghost tour that was both educational and entertaining, thanks to our guide's (Damian) engaging storytelling. The mix of scary tales and local history, along with the team bonding it encouraged, made it a memorable experience. Highly recommended for a unique team-building activityWritten 21 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Catherine G1 contributionMy son has autism and went here with his mainstream TY class who are amazing . The staff here were very kind and committed to inclusion and ensuring everyone enjoyed their experience. Very professional and Ciaran had a ball. Would highly recommend Ballyhass, I went as a chaperone for my son , but my input was minimal .Written 16 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Emma O1 contributionOur social club trip was superb... we were taken by the Ocean Escapes team out from Cork Harbour to Spike Island. The boat ride itself was such good fun and we were blessed with a gorgeous day and Andrew talking through the sights! They'd also arranged a treasure hunt for us on Spike Island - great craic! Would highly recommend the Ocean Escapes team - really lovely and the attention to detail was incredible.Written 4 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Andrea P1 contributionI went with Jason on a private tour of 1.5 hours with my family.
Jason was fantastic, he brought us to several spots outside the harbour of Cork and we managed to spot seals and loads of birds.
The scenery was stunning!
It was really an epic trip, the boat is a nice one and pretty comfy.
We had two teenagers on board and they loved the speed of the boat and the whole experience.
I highly recommend to try this tour in order to enjoy the ocean and its views.Written 20 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The staff were all incredible and very helpful. The safety demonstration was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend bringing older children as the courses are based on age Not height. It is kind of pointless bringing an 8 year old as they can only do 1 course. All the girls enjoyed the day especially the blue course. I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone!Written 17 February 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Geoff BBridport, UK5 contributionsWAC is quite simply the ‘go to’ company for supported cycle touring in Ireland, both North and South of the border. I’ve cycled on 4 continents and I have to say I couldn’t believe the standard of hotels, scenery, support and friendliness of everyone I met, from staff to locals. If you haven’t cycled in Ireland it’s a definite’bucket list’ destination and no one does it better than WAC - thanks Paul, Fiona, Brian and Stephen - GBWritten 3 March 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
