Outdoor Adventures in Galway

Ireland is one of the best destinations for outdoor adventures. Hiking and hill walking are the most popular excursions for travelers, but what if you’re looking for something a little farther off the beaten path?

Killary Adventure Company, located in Galway, Ireland, offers a wide variety of outdoor activities for both daring outdoorsmen and those simply looking for a little fresh air.

Both water and land activities are available year-round, but you may want to check what’s in season before you book a trip. In the warmer months, you can set sail on the beautiful coves of Connemara or give waterskiing and gorge walking a try. HAlso, there is always the infamous turf challenge.

The Killary Adventure Company’s turf challenge is sure to provide a unique and muddy experience that will certainly please. I don’t want to spoil the fun but you will find a number of obstacles throughout the bog to swim through, climb, slide down and jump off. If you’re in a large group and have a fairly competitive side, you can also break off into different teams and race each other for the best time.

Killary Adventure Company just added a new attraction that will give you an even bigger adrenaline rush. Their new Sky Fall attraction recently opened … which is exactly what it sounds like. After making your way across a long rope bridge, you’ll step off into a shaft (wearing a full body harness) and free fall 40 feet to the ground. The harness and lines connecting you to the shaft help you decelerate for a gentle landing, but it will still create quite a rush.

So after you’re done touring around the castles and art galleries the city of Galway has to offer, venture inland for an outdoor adventure you’ll be talking about for years.
