We came here hoping to do some good hiking, but didn't quite find it…read more The major hikes were too wet for us to do. There were some hikes along the greenway, but we decided to bike the greenway instead. We ended up just doing the short walk at the visitor's center and the coastal walk. Both were very scenic and we enjoyed the views. Both were easy and about 1-2 km long. I think it's worth stopping here, we just only spent a couple hours exploring.

The course was designed by the country's most famous course architect, Eddie Hackett. It was his last course and many say it is his greatest challenge. The golf course is characterized by the monumental sand dunes that cover its landscape. They were used to create elevated tees, providing golfers with a glimpse of the impending challenges. The layout offers a variety of interesting holes that each have a unique character. The range is there but it's shag your own ball Caddies are available and the curse offers full services The Hackett course is their main course but they also have a newer nine hole course that should be fun when it fully matures Pro shop and club house is a little sparse and needs a touchup but this course definitely has an "old world" feel despite the fact that it opened in 2005.

There were two instructors and both were helpful and friendly. At the start of the lesson we went through the basics of getting in and out of the kayak, how to recover if we topple over and how to paddle correctly. We also covered some additional techniques on the lake. Changing facilities were provided on site along with free use of wet suits and safety gear. The lesson cost €35 per adult or €25 per child and lasted for two hours. Recommended for anyone visiting Achill and suitable for a wide range of ages.

Absolutely amazing place - I have been visiting Achill for years and didn't realise it existed -…read morethe road to get there is a bit hairy (think sheer cliffs and very small roads), it is worth the trip at any cost (except actually falling over the a fore mentioned cliffs... it's probably not worth that). There is a small van there, pretty much all the time - it sells sweets, hot-dogs and coffee, to find such a facility in the wild is unexpected and brilliant and almost guarantees you will buy a hot dog, even if you don't want one, just because it is there!
