Lough Derg Watersports, Kayaking, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary

There was once a man that said ‘If you love what you do, you will never have to work a day in your life’..

I have always had an intense desire for that life.

I am Becky the founder of Lough Derg Water Sports, a small kayaking business based in the heartlands of Ireland, which was started in 2013.

Just a girl from Liverpool with a soft spot for water. I love travel, experiencing cultures, exploring lands, forests and oceans, meeting the special creatures of the world and its people!

I am a mother of 3 beautiful cherubs who keep me on my toes and addicted to coffee.

Lough Derg full of mystery, unspoiled nature and a playground for us to explore.
We passionate about introducing kayaking and outdoor adventures to individuals. Making it accessible to all ages and abilities. It’s not just about the kayaking, it’s discovering something really special, seeing life from a different perspective, going off the beaten track and finding yourself.

Waves to Wilderness our new message, about all of that. A team of adventurers with expanding ideas, inspiring each other to get out into nature and experiencing it together!
