Real Adventures
Review
Real Adventures Connemara, based in Clifden but operating along the absolutely breathtaking Connemara coastline, is the only privately owned activity company I truly trust to deliver the range of experiences they offer. This marks the second time I’ve endorsed Clare Wheatley and her outstanding team in my Top 100 Attractions on the Island of Ireland book and with good reason. Family-owned and operated, Clare has built her business on trust, safety, and an unmatched sense of adventure. Her natural ability to make everyone feel comfortable, no matter their level of experience, sets her apart. What makes Real Adventures so unique is Clare’s commitment to taking you off the beaten path, to secret coves, hidden beaches, and rugged coastlines that most will never see. Whether it’s Coasteering, Coastal Kayaking, Stand-Up Paddleboarding, or Surfing, each activity is delivered with passion and professionalism. This is Connemara like you’ve never seen it. Highly recommended!
