Galway Kayak Club is the largest kayaking club in the west of Ireland, and we’re proud to offer a wide mix of paddling disciplines for all levels.
There’s something for everyone – from the adrenaline rush of whitewater and freestyle, to the tactics of kayak polo, the distance of marathon paddling, or the open water adventure of sea kayaking. We even have a few canoes that come in handy during races and larger events!
Each discipline has its own rhythm and community. Some train weekly on the Upper or the Lower Corrib, others head out to the coast or whitewater rivers across Ireland.
You can click into each discipline below to learn more about what’s involved and where we go.
