Niall is a great instructor. He explained the basics and made us all feel relaxed before we headed out, then pointed out all the sights as we got comfortable on the water. Can't wait to try this again.Marie "Great Instructor"
I couldn't recommend Sligo Bay SUP highly enough. A totally relaxing experience from start to finish, brilliant fun and fantastic company. I'd recommend it to everyone, definitely be going back with the kids.Andrea "Brilliant Fun"
Niall was well organised, accommodating and a very pleasant instructor. Beautiful rustic landscape scenery and moderate exercise. A great way to get into the Wild Atlantic Way. Highly recommended.Aaron "Experience Nature"
