Sligo Kayak Tours is a small, locally-owned and operated business which strives to be an industry leader in sustainable tourism. We are committed to giving our clients an authentic, enriching experience through which we hope to foster a love for the natural world and conserve it for future generations.
Whenever possible we keep our groups small in an attempt to minimise environmental impact on the fragile ecosystems that we visit, and to build a stronger personal connection to these places.
Paddling in a small group ensures clients get an authentic wildlife experience on our tours. It also helps to minimise noise and stress placed on all those living in the natural environment. There are two routes available;
- Lough Gill Kayak Tour
- Mullaghmore Kayak Tour

About Lough Gill
Lough Gill, an eight kilometres long limestone lake, lying just east of Sligo Town, is a place of utter beauty, and one of the must-see Sligo attractions when visiting the West Coast of Ireland. Steeped in myth and legend, and rich in incredible views, it quickly became one of Sligo’s top-rated tourist attractions and must-do activity on every adventurer’s bucket list. The lake is mainly situated in County Sligo, but partly in County Leitrim.
It features underwater cliffs, and it is listed as a protected site under the EU Habitats Directive. Lough Gill supports several protected species of lamprey, as well as Atlantic salmon, and otter.
From Parke’s Castle in Leitrim, overlooking the lake, to Cottage Island and Church Island, Lough Gill offers generous nature’s trails, viewing points, and photo opportunities. The lake makes for a beautiful drive at any time of the year.
