  • I am nervous of the water, but the lovely Martina at check in was so unbelievably kind and knowledgeable. Our skipper, Ronán, was extremely skilled and experienced. It was such a beautiful trip. Myself and my partner couldn’t recommend West Coast Rib Adventures any higher

  • The Rib Safari trip is one of the best boat trips we’ve done. We were so lucky with the weather, abd the staff and crew were excellent, very friendly and competent. The scenery along the Shannon Estuary can hold its own with anywhere in the world. Definitely a trip you don’t want to miss!

  • We had an absolutely fantastic trip out to the beautiful Kerry cliffs passing the historical Scattery island and home by the Clare coast and carrigholt castle. We were provided with super warm jackets by Irene and Dan. I was nervous about feeling sea sick but it was a very comfortable trip. A definite must do if in Clare.

  • We had a brilliant day on Sunday 28/07/24 on the RIB where we went to Beale, Bromore Cliffs, Cliffs of Doneen, Leck Castle, Ballybunion and back up along the Clare coast I would Highly recommend West Coast RIB Adventures as we had a great experience better than any boat trip I have taken in Europe or Ireland

  • Absolutely Fantastic Trip Wow, what a trip! This was absolutely just fab. What a beautiful coastline, between, Scattery Island, the Kerry cliffs and caves and travelling across the Estuary to Carrigaholt , the scenery is breathtaking. We loved all the historical and factual information given by Irene which really added to the trip. Epic, not to be missed if you are visiting Co Clare.

  • We had a wonderful time touring waters between Clare and Kerry. Such beautiful views of the cliff, castles and even seeing dolphins! I can’t wait to go again. Highly recommended.
