🏄Belmullet Adventure Centre

Travel tips

• Book ahead, especially in peak season

  Advance booking is strongly recommended, particularly during school holidays and summer months, to secure your preferred activity slots.

• Minimum age requirement

  Activities are suitable for children aged 5 and up. Younger siblings may need to sit out or participate in limited activities only.

• Bring extra clothes for water activities

  Pack spare clothes and towels for everyone, even if not planning water activities—activities like kayaking and paddleboarding splash more than expected.

• Check the weather before visiting

  This is an outdoor centre, so activities may be cancelled or rescheduled in severe weather. Monitor forecasts and have backup plans.

• Supervise closely during activities

  Instruction and supervision are provided, but stay actively involved and follow all safety briefings, especially with younger or less confident children.

• Equipment hire is available on-site

  No need to buy or hire equipment elsewhere—all necessary gear including wetsuits and safety equipment is available at the centre.

• Changing rooms provided

  Changing facilities are available on-site, making it easier to manage younger children or those in nappies between activities.

• Café on-site for refreshments

  A café operates at the centre, so you can grab hot drinks and snacks without leaving. Worth checking opening hours and menu options beforehand.

• Plan for a full half-day visit

  Most activities take 1-2 hours each. Plan to do 1-2 activities per visit rather than trying to fit everything in one day.

• Beautiful beaches nearby for extending your trip

  The Mullet Peninsula has scenic beaches close by—worth planning a picnic or beach time before or after your activity to maximise your visit.

• Family packages may offer better value

  Ask about family-friendly packages when booking, as they often provide better value than booking individual activities separately.

• Waterproof bags recommended

  Bring waterproof bags or dry bags to protect valuables, phones, and spare clothes during water-based activities.

• All skill levels welcome

  No experience needed—beginners and experienced participants can both join. Perfect for mixing abilities across different family members.

• Bring sun protection

  Even on cloudy days, UV exposure can be high near water. Pack sunscreen, hats, and consider UV-protective clothing for longer sessions.

  Inishkea Ferry to Inishkea Islands

  8.3 mi

  The Inishkea Islands, located off the Mullet Peninsula in County Mayo, are a remote and beautiful archipelago known for their pristine beaches, wildlife, and archaeological sites. The ferry service, operated by local fishermen, offers a unique day trip for families. Highlights include spotting seals, seabirds, and dolphins; exploring sandy coves; and visiting the ruins of early Christian settlements. The islands are unspoiled, with no shops or facilities, so families must bring everything they need (food, water, sun protection). The boat trip is about 20 minutes each way and can be bumpy; it's best for children aged 5+ who can handle the sea. The islands are ideal for nature-loving families seeking adventure and solitude.
