There is plenty to do at Killaha Holidays. We have acres of woodland and seashore to explore by foot or by kayak and our small slipway is ideal for launching from, so guests are welcome to bring their own kayaks and other watersport equipment (at your own risk).

HORSEBACK RIDING
CYCLING
We recommend the beach and mountain pony trekking available at Dromquinna Stables (distance - 5 miles). They have horses and ponies suited to all levels of rider and can cater to even the smallest guest. Even nearer is the River Valley Stables at the Sheen Falls Hotel, only 2 miles away. Our own ponies also appreciate the odd carrot!
Bike hire is available through Finnegans in Kenmare or nearby at Sidetracked Kenmare
www.pedalsandboots.ie is a great resource for local cycling and hiking routes
FISHING
Killaha offers the perfect base for both lake angling and shore fishing. John O'Hare in Kenmare is our local expert and his fishing tackle store in town is well worth a visit.
