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.

What travellers are saying
- DesreverCork, Ireland16 contributionsWe have been to the cork centre twice now and it is a great experience for adults and children. A great activity for rainy days. The staff are very helpful and friendly, special shout out to Sam. There are various levels of difficulty and you come away with a real sense of achievement and quite exhausted. Great funWritten 8 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Stewart M1 contributionThis was my first visit to any comedy club and it was amazing, Brian who runs the club is so welcoming and kind it immediately puts you at ease.
On the night there were a number of comedians performing and they were all great. I would highly recommend it to locals and visitors alike.
An amazing way to spend an evening.Written 7 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Super S1 contributionMy 15 year old daughter and her friends did curse off the tomb. They thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be back to do another room. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. A great experience all round.

- Departure008077850203 contributionsA great spin in the Only cable car in Ireland to Dursey, over the water. We had beautiful weather for walking on Dursey Island.
Very efficient. No waiting when we arrived at approx 10.30AM, but a few people were waiting at 1 PM.

Had and absolute blast with our pilot Richard. Major highlight of the vacation!!! DONT HESITATE!

- Sandra HThompsonville, MI276 contributionsThis was on my bucket list from years ago. I had read about this particular tour on Lough Hyne during the night so that you can see the bioluminescence, which is a unique experience on the only salt water lake of its kind in Europe and the first marine reserve since 1981. I highly recommend bringing your own black light flashlight so that you can see the glowing shrimp on the bottom (although our guide passed one around). A decent level of experience with kayaking will help, especially with the limited visibility. The guide has a lamp in which you follow. Putting your paddle in the water and drawing it forward brings a shimmer that I wish I could have captured with a photo, but alas it was too dark. Dress warmly and they do provide gear to keep you safe and warm as well. It runs between April-October and the three of us felt it was a cool experience not to be missed!Written 2 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Wendy PMelbourne, Australia4 contributionsI did the 13 day Full Irish Experience tour.
Lots of laughs, the most stunning scenery whether cliffs, fields,ocean, lake castles or abbeys, and great story-telling and accompanying soundtrack provided by Sean along the way. The B&B's were exactly as I had hoped with great beds and breakfasts! We were a small group of like-minded travellers from all over, sharing a wonderful trip.
My highlights were Clifden for music, Westport House and Kylemore Abbey, the Wild Atlantic Way, music in Dingle and Kilkenny, music on the bus, Dingle, Muckross House and thats just off the top of my head! Really it was a wonderful trip with an experienced driver who gave us what was promised, give or take a couple of weather-related disappointments which were not in his control.
I had read in other reviews that there were more than one bus and questioning if it is a true small group tour. We had at times, three buses, we overlapped sometimes at sites but it was never an issue. We didn't stay together, we didn't eat together, we gave a wave when we saw them and at one stage swapped drivers when one had a flat tyre. By the end of the 13 days it was like running into friends.
The B&B (and several hotel) accommodations were great. I didn't pay for or want five star, they were immaculately clean with warm hosts and great breakfasts, the beds and pillows excellent.
Just book it, you wont regret it.Written 15 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - Dior D3 contributionsWe really had a great time! Funny and informative ! You learn a lot about Cork !

Think camping but with bunkbeds contained in a lovely wooden hut. Outside a lovely covered area with tables and benches. Tepe tent full of games. Bbq kitchen area was outstanding. Onsite pizza takeaway and lovely coffee shop. Activities were incredibleWritten 20 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SarahL4 contributionsHad an amazing day with Andrew.
Although not the warmest day we had so much fun exploring the cliffs and the caves, and we stopped for a whisky on the way back!
Andrew is very personable and gave us lots of Information of the plaes we visited
He was very accommodating as my friend needed extra assistance getting in and out of the boat as she finds walking difficult. He had all the correct safety equipment.
I would highly recommend this adventure.Written 13 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Warren did a brilliant job: great safety briefing, great boat, informative about Cork Harbour and the Clark coast. Loads of opportunities to get close to sea birds, a seal colony and a massive pod of dolphins.
If you have a few hours to spare and you are looking for something really special to do, Warren’s sea life safari is a mustWritten 24 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

All the staff were so friendly and guided us around the course. My 12 year old was also able to do the blue course which he said was brilliant. They haven’t stopped speaking about about their experience!
We hired the head cameras which they wore and the staff downloaded all the footage and was sent to us. Such a brilliant idea as we can share it with others who did not come along.
I would highly recommend a day out to Zipit and we will definitely return.Written 10 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

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.
