Please read very carefully. This is our recommended list of what to bring. Ballyhass will always provide all safety equipment including, helmets, harnesses, wetsuits and lifejackets. 

Day Trip 

Swimwear & Towel

We will provide all wetsuits and safety equipment. Swimming togs are to be worn under these. If you have your own wetsuit your are welcome to bring it along. 

Plastic Bag 

You will more than likely have a alot of wet clothes so these are handy when packing. 

Wet shoes or Old Shoes

For kayaking and raft building you will need to wear some form of footwear in the water. For all other water activities you will have to walk with wetsuits on so shoes/ flip flops are vital. 

Warm Outdoor Clothing

We are an outdoor activity centre. If it is raining we will still operate, we have a sheltered site that nothing short of a red weather warning stops us. It is your responsibility to have appropriate outdoor clothing. If nothing else at bring a spare pair of clothes.

Rainproof outer layer 

Probably the most important part of all. You can pick up cheap ponchos in any supermarket outdoor store. It will make your experience so much better if its raining. (Or at a minimum a spare pair of clothing that can act as an extra layer) 

Big packed lunch                                         

On a full day you will be outside for over 6.5 hours doing several active experiences. Trust us you WILL be hungry. We have a small cafe on site that has a snacks available. 

Refillable water bottle

We have a water fountain on site that you can refill your water bottle in between sessions.

€ coins for cafe 

Our hot chocolates are famous!! 

Hat/Gloves for colder months                                       

A wooly hat makes a huge difference in the shoulder seasons March/ April / September / October 

Waterproof sunblock 

Even on a cloudy day this prevents wind burn. We cant over state how important this is at all times of the year regardless of what the weather forecast says.
