Ballyhass Adventure Group was established in 2005 and since then has become renowned in the outdoor adventure industry. With an extensive staff of 120, they cover a range of activities and courses - from life guarding and first aid to saunas and wake boarding, they offer over 20 different activities. Something for everyone!

What started as a marine leisure facility in Kinsale has evolved to two outdoor centres in Cecilstown and Coachford. They are run by the Mcarthy family with company directors Eoghan and Eddie, and support local, be it clubs or charities or offering employment opportunities. The quality of their staff is a huge point of pride, and as they grow this is only set to improve.

“The aim is to be one of the leading outdoor experience providers in the country” and they do so through accessibility, affordability, and education. “In a nutshell, you go as far, high, or intense as you want to go”, all with the motivation of their team in a welcoming and safe environment.

As modern life takes over, they want to see people take a step back to the great outdoors. “Always enjoy what you do. Bring passion and fun to the job every day. A smile is worth so much and remember it could be everyone’s one and only chance to have an outdoor adventure experience this year. We are here to make sure you remember it.
