Great couple of hours on the water - Amazing kayak trip round Llyn Padarn led by Kieran, who was a fantastic host/guide who made the whole experience very easy, relaxing and fun. Beautiful views a given, a bit of local history thrown in, and a game of tag in the canoes and some wild swimming to end. Enjoyed by all (myself, my wife and our 13yo daughter). We would definitely do this again.

10/10 - Absolutely brilliant!! Even though it was just the two of us winging it at the end of the season, Kieran still turned up and gave us a private tour! What a legend. The views are incredible, you get to see wildlife and the water is crystal clear. You get to swim if you like and also have a little breather to rest your leggies and just take it all in.

Fantastic time kayaking - We had such a fantastic time kayaking with Kieran from Paradise Adventures on the Snowdon Kayak Adventure! He was incredibly nice, friendly, and made us feel welcome right from the start. The entire experience, which lasted over two hours, was both relaxing and enjoyable, making it perfect for the whole family. Our kids absolutely loved it and are already asking when we can go again! Kieran’s calm and cheerful nature made the entire outing even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a great day out on the water. Thank you, Kieran, for a memorable experience!

Great morning out kayaking - Booked to go kayaking with my husband, from the minute we met Kieran he was friendly and professional, answering any questions we had. While out on the water Kieran was telling us lots of interesting facts about the mountains and surrounding areas. Had the chance to go swimming in the water as well which was very fun! Will 100% be going back again next time we’re up north wales.

Go for it 🛶😊 - As a family of 4 adults we had the best time. We were celebrating our daughter's birthday. It was all we hoped it would be. Kieran is a super guy and knows his way around kayaks and the water. He was very considerate to all members of the group. We managed to swim too which was fab. A big thank you to kieran. We would absolutely recommend this 🛶😊

Amazing fun - It was very fun, loved the stop at the small beach because we go to skip rocks! Loved that the person was taking pictures for us so we didn’t have to worry about it

Awesome - Hi the experience was amazing because it was scenic and beautiful. With Jamie it was really great because he knew about the history of the place and made it easier for us. I haven't done it before still was confident all because of Jamie. Thank you 💕
