Galway City: Paddleboarding Free Roam or Guided Tour｜Ireland

Stand up paddleboarding is a fun, accessible way to get on the water and improve your fitness at the same time. In Galway, choose the experience that suits your day: a 2-hour paddleboarding free roam with demo, or a guided SUP tour focused on exploring local waterways with a qualified instructor. You’ll paddle on stable inflatable boards with a paddle, lifejacket, wetsuit, and boots provided.

Get fitted with your gear, then begin with the basics on land before heading onto the water. During the tour or demo, you’ll learn how to position yourself on the board, hold the paddle efficiently, move forward smoothly, steer, turn, and stop with control. Your instructor will coach technique as you practice, helping you find balance and build confidence step by step.

If you choose the guided tour option, you’ll set off with your instructor leading the route and managing the pace for the group. Paddle along a suitable course for the day’s conditions, with tips along the way to keep your strokes efficient and your stance comfortable. The experience ends back at the original meeting point, where you’ll return your equipment and get changed before continuing your day in Galway.
