“Discovering Confidence and Connection Through Coasteering” - This week, I had several opportunities to go coasteering with the Real Adventures Crew, and I have to say it far exceeded my expectations. The experience was not only thrilling and well-organized, but the guides were exceptionally knowledgeable, blending fun anecdotes, local history, and nature trivia that enriched the entire adventure. Each part of the tour was thoughtfully designed to accommodate both beginners and those with prior experience, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. With all equipment provided and a natural playground of crags and tidal pools to explore, it was easy to immerse myself in the moment and lose track of time. Having spent over two decades in the military, I’ve been on many guided excursions that felt disorganized or lacked educational value—but the professionalism and preparation of these guides stood out. Their confidence and competence made me feel completely secure throughout both days, and the hours navigating the Connemara coastline seemed to fly by. For someone who began the week knowing nothing about coasteering, I left with a newfound passion and a strong desire to return. The team at Real Adventures Connemara truly delivered an unforgettable and expertly executed experience. Cheers!!! Special Thanks to Danny, Claire, Colm, Stevie, and Dave. I appreciate the level of professionalism you brought to the table and still made it fun!

Truly amazing - Our first coasteering experience and it was truly amazing. Danny and Stevie are great guides. They're really good at giving the right instructions and guide you through. Never would heve thought I would jump off a cliff of 8 to 10 meters highs. Above that, the surroundings are beautiful!

First Time Coasteering - David & Stevie were our guides. We are a family of 5 with 3 adult kids. We planned a few months in advance and got the time a lot we wanted. The group size was probably 15ppl. It was so fun! Highly recommend even for first timers. They took care of everything and kept our family safe. My timid youngest even had a blast! The rocks weren’t too super high and the Atlantic wasn’t too cold. Getting out of the water was the hardest part for me (51 yrs, less active than I used to be) but our great guides helped me the whole time. I do not recommend water shoes for this btw. They were too slippery. The outfit provides shoes and shorts anyway (to protect the wetsuits) so you really only need a swimsuit and towel. Great value! Have fun!

Brilliant experience of the Wild Atlantic coast - Fun, adrenaline fuelled adventure with excellent guides who made us feel safe and ensured everyone had a great experience , whatever level of nerves! Teens and adults had a great time scrambling over rocks and jumping into beautiful water from various heights. A highlight of our week in Connemara. Thanks Danny & Clare

Amazing Coasteering experience - Amazing experience Coasteering with Steve! A great way to truly experience the coast - Steve did an excellent job making things safe and fun, and reading both the group and the conditions, giving options so that everyone could choose the level of challenge they were comfortable with. I was warm and comfortable in the wetsuit and other equipment . It was exhilarating to really experience being in and on the water, rocks and gorgeous coastline. Thanks also to Clare for helping me find a spot at the last minute. I joined 2 other groups of 3 and had a great time - I would recommend to a solo traveller as well as a group. I would recommend Real Adventures Connemara to anyone.

Bored - Our 5th time coasteering & we were extremly disappointed this time. Group was so slow, only got 4 jumps in & no big ones. There were 2 guides as usual & there should have been a split group allowing the more experienced gang to go ahead & get more jumps in. Really sickened to have paid 250€
