Kayaking Lessons, Kayaking Tours & Kayak Rental Galway City
Rusheen Bay is an ideal spot in Galway for open-top kayaking. The bay is big enough to offer lots to see and small enough to paddle around in one session.
KAYAK LESSONS Galway
A beginner kayaking lesson is a great way to get acquainted with the sea and watersports in general. We have really great kayakers in our team who love paddling and getting others into the sport. Rusheen Bay is a great location to learn to kayak - its a safe, enclosed bay but big enough to be interesting and with lots of stuff to see!

Important:
Watersports are always weather dependent. We need to assess the conditions on an ongoing basis to make sure they are suitable for you to go on the water. Sometimes, it's just not possible.
Learning to kayak in rusheen bay, galway
The bay is a safe, calm and shallow inlet - it's really the perfect place to try kayaking for the first time. Our open-top RTM kayaks are by far the easiest kayaks to learn with, too.
Combine that with our dedicated kayak instructors and you have a safe, fun learning experience for kids, adults and even those who thought their watersports days were over!
KAYAK TOUR LOCATIONS GALWAY CITY
RUSHEEN BAY
Sometimes, especially if there's a really high tide, we take a tour inside Rusheen Bay. The tour takes us along the back of Barna demesne and to the fast moving rapids at the mouth of the bay.
THE PROM
When weather permits, we kayak to the Salthill prom. It's always the most memorable trip because most of us never see Salthill from the sea - something that everyone should experience!
BARNA PIER
Barna is a beautiful town and the pier is pretty much unspoiled. Just fishing board and fishermen! The pier is about the same distance away from Rusheen Bay as the Salthill prom, but in the other direction.
