Learn to Canoe at UL Activity Centre  
Canoeing
Or open boating as it’s also known is a little more relaxed than Kayaking with usually 2/3 to a boat. The Open / Canadian canoe is immediately distinguishable from a kayak because it is paddled using a single bladed paddle. On a relaxing open boat trip you will get to visit some of the many islands surrounding the beautiful waters of Lough Derg and all with company.

Dragon Boat Racing at UL Activity Centre  
Dragon Boating
The sport of Dragon Boat Racing originated in China many centuries ago. The 40 foot long canoe style boats have ornamental dragon heads at the bow and dragon tails at the stern. These boats can seat up to 20 paddlers, a helm to steer the boat and a drummer at the front to beat to the rhythm of the paddlers. This activity is suitable for complete beginners and all that is required is some team spirit and a good set of lungs.
(Please note Dragon boating is only suitable for groups of 24+)

LAND BASED ACTIVITIES

High Ropes at ULAC a
High Ropes Course
ULAC is home to Munster’s First High Ropes Course. The course is a series of physical adventure challenges requiring a combination of teamwork skills and individual commitment. This aerial obstacle course consists of six individual elements that focus on the individual achievements of participants as they challenge themselves. Physical Safety is ensured through the use of a belay system with ropes, carabineers, harnesses and specialised hardware. With the reassurance of our professionally trained facilitators, every event is about perceived versus actual risk, thus emphasising our policy of ‘Challenge by Choice’.

Orienteering at ULAC  
Orienteering
For this sport we have both a land and a water option. Land based orienteering requires physical fitness, navigational and map reading skills to complete the specially designed course. For participants who like to take things a little less serious we also have an exciting Treasure Hunt option. Water based orienteering teams use canoes and kayaks and follow the map which takes them on a Lough Derg Trip. Participants will visit some of the islands along the way and complete a challenge or two on the journey.
