All our river activities are from Graiguenamanagh, Co. Kilkenny. If you put Pure Adventure into Google maps you will find us here. For any other location you will be given the exact meeting point at the time of booking. 

Rain, hail or shine your activity will still go ahead. We wish we could guarantee sunshine all summer, but we do live in Ireland so naturally it will rain even in summer time and our trips run regardless. 

Booking is primarily made through our online booking system or for a custom trip/activity you can book by phone or email. 

You don’t need to be a great swimmer, but you do need to have some water confidence. Everyone will be wearing a personal flotation device (Buoyancy Aid/Lifejacket) so as long as you would be comfortable floating in the water in one then you will be fine. Our kayaks, canoes and paddle boards are stable, but we can never rule out that you might end up in the water. 

Yes for our river trips the minimum age for children is 6 years old. Between 6 and 9 years old generally we get the child to share a double canoe with a parent. From 10 years and up most kids can handle a single kayak on the river. For Stand Up Paddle Boarding the minimum age is 10 years old and for Sea kayaking it is 12 years old. 

Booking: Pure Adventure require full payment at the time of booking in order to secure all places on trips (except for sea kayaking). The payment for sea kayaking trips must be made the day before the trip is due to depart, when we confirm the trip has a suitable sea forecast to proceed. Payment can be made by card on our online booking system

Cancellation Policy :

• If you need to cancel your trip we will require 4 days notice, at which time we will be able to reschedule your trip for a later available date. Any cancellation of less than 4 days or failure to show up for your booking, will result in the full amount being charged. (Notice of cancellation or changes of dates should be made by email or phone call only.)
• River Activities: Weather: Rain does not affect our trips & tours so they will run regardless. For our river activities, it is only in very severe weather conditions that we would be forced to cancel an activity. In the event of severe weather, we will contact you, giving you as much notice as possible, of any change to your booking. In the event we have to cancel, we will offer you a new date or a refund.
• Sea Kayaking: Weather: Rain does not affect our Sea Kayaking trips and so they will run regardless. Our sea kayaking trips are dependent on sea conditions (Wind & Swell) being favourable and generally we can only confirm a sea kayaking trip will run 1-2 days in advance. We will confirm your trip by phone and we will require payment at this time. Should we have to cancel your trip due to unsuitable sea conditions, no charge will be incurred, and we will do our best to reschedule your trip.
• Pure Adventure reserves the right to cancel any trip or activity on safety grounds without prior notice. In such a case, you will receive a full refund, or you can choose to book a new date.
