Tucked away in the heart of West Fermanagh, this day experience offers a rare combination of gentle adventure, natural beauty, and deep relaxation. Picture yourself gliding along calm waters, before gathering for a laid-back lunch in our cosy BBQ hut. The day ends with the ultimate treat: a retreat into our Forest Eco Spa — a haven of tranquillity where you can truly unwind.
🚣 Glide Through Still Waters
Your day begins with a gentle canoeing / SUP trip along one of Fermanagh’s most scenic waterways. No experience needed — just a love for nature and a sense of curiosity.
You are provided with all you need: wetsuit (full body or shorty), buoyancy aid, map of the lake and dry bag for your snacks or mobile. One of our staff will give you some basic instruction, check you are happy on your canoe. We will advise you on where to go on the lake to discover islands steeped in history, crannogs or local sculpture trail.
Then it is your own adventure, whether you want to explore the many islands, glide through the pristine waters of Upper Lough Macnean and watch the rich wild life, or take a swim. You will experience nature’s peacefulness and beauty.
Time slows down when you are truly immersed in wilderness and escape the hustle and bustle of every day life.
After 2 hours of gentle canoeing or active paddling depending on your mood (and sometimes the weather conditions), head back to dry land for some deserved lunch.
Before you leave the shore, capture the time and place on our unique Lough Swing, with Thur Mountain as a back drop. An unforgettable insta !
🔥 Fireside Lunch in the BBQ Hut
After working up an appetite, settle into our rustic BBQ hut, where warmth, good food, and even better company await. You bring your own ingredients, we’ll have the fire ready for you to cook on: this lunch is all about connection — with each other and the outdoors.
We provide all you need: plates, glasses, cutlery, and BBQ utensils. You bring your chosen food. The hut also includes a sheltered seating area with tables, perfect for preparing salads and sides.
The crackle of the fire, the scent of grilled food and the circular seats in the hut make for a convivial and comforting atmosphere.
🧖 Rejuvenate in the Forest Eco Spa !
The afternoon is yours to fully relax. Our Forest Eco Spa is a secluded, private space designed for total body and mind restoration. Soak in a wood-fired hot tub, unwind in the sauna, or simply listen to the sounds of the forest as you rest.
The hot tub has no bubbles, it is an oasis of calm and stillness, surrounded by trees on the shores of the lake. Sit back, look up at the tree tops or let your look wander from forest to lake and further away to the Leitrim hills. Time stops here as you soothe your mind, relax your body and rejuvenate your soul.
It’s a moment of stillness and self-care that feels worlds away from daily life — and exactly what you deserve.
