Rent a Pedal Boat in Cork - Discover the Scenic Lagoon
EASY AND SAFE FUN ON THE WATER
Pedal Boats at the Lagoon Activity Centre.
Pedal boats also known as pedalo boats, are a great way to spend some time on the water. Whether you’re looking to get some exercise or just relax, our pedalos are perfect for all ages!
You may be wondering: “How do I ride this thing?” Well, it’s easy! Just sit down and start pedaling. The pedalo boat will move forward, and you can steer by turning the rudder. (Don’t worry—we provide an instructor who will show you how!)
We highly recommend pedal boats for anybody new to water sports, is apprehensive about the water, or is simply looking for a low-stress, relaxing time on the lake!
These pedalo boats are almost impossible to capsize, which makes them a great choice for beginners. In addition, they are exceedingly easy to operate. If you know how to ride a bicycle, you already have the skills necessary to run a pedal boat. Their motion is controlled by pedaling in either way, so they may travel either forward or backward. The boat’s stern rudder is controlled by a steering lever in the centre of the vessel.
The Lagoon Activity Centre in Rosscarbery is sheltered, making the water relatively tranquil and it is only 3 feet deep in most places (does not apply to waterpark).
Pedal Away Your Worries!
Pedal away your worries and enjoy the serenity of the lagoon with a pedal boat. This activity is fun for all ages and is a great way to spend time with family and friends.
A great way to get around on the water and see the sights. Our Pedal Boats are ideal for all ages and require just a gentle push off from shore to get you out of the dock area. No need for experience or worry about capsizing, once you get going, it’s smooth sailing!
Renting a pedal boat is a fun way to spend a few hours on the water, whether it’s as part of a family day out or with friends.
Pedalos are available for rent during daylight hours, and we have a variety of pedal boats to choose from. We have a pedalo boat that can hold up to 4 people, so bring your friends and family along for the ride!
Pedal boating is fun! Imagine cruising through the lagoon on a pedal boat on a hot summer’s day. Suitable for all ages, simply turn up and go right out onto the water. Ideal for families with small children, or groups who want to spend some time on the water without the need for a high skill level.

Fun afternoon for all. Staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely atmosphere and buzz around the centre. Hope to go again next summer.
Had a great time with my kids on the inflatable water park. Staff were helpful and friendly. Change rooms are a little small when everyone is trying to get changed after, but thats a minor complaint. Will definitely go again
Great time kayaking first then water park we all had fun teens also had a great time just needs a little cleaning around water park some wood and rubbish floating around
Staff very friendly , quaint , little coffee shop , 2 toilets a selection of water sports
Excellent - would highly recommend. Everything went so smoothly from when we arrived until the end. The kids all had a great time - they varied from 10-14 years of age. We will definitely be back.
Brilliant, Went there with 4 kids aged between 8 and 13 plus a big 50yr lol. Kids loves every minute. Staff were great.
Kids loved it definitely will do it again well worth the money, will do kayaking and pedal boats next time make a day of it
The Lagoon Activity centre was extremely well runnIt is great fun for the family, from 8 years plus!nHighly recommend it, cant wait to go back
Book early. Always a hoot. For all ages! I'm early 50s and go with the teenagers every summer. The new pyramid is a testing climb but worth it. I started with this and got the wetting out of the way early on! Could do with clearing out of the pond scum which accumulates in two
We loved it...well run with friendly helpful staff...change in your cars as changing rooms are limited...
Went to the Lagoon Activity Centre today for the first time and we had a ball. Went on the paddle boat and got a kayak each. Everything was very straight forward. Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful and such amazing value. Will definitely come back for some more fun when I come to west cork again.
Kids and hubbie had a ball. Wetsuits optional, all wore life jackets and everyone seemed to enjoy. A little boat brings you from the pier to the feature in the lagoon. Life guard supervised also. Great spot. Would return
Went with my 8 year old, had an absolute blast,was in bits after the activities and still went out on the kayak after. Staff are amazing and so helpful. Will return on our next trip.
Great place. Very well run and very safe. A must visit if in west Cork.
A win win for parents and teenagers … Having two teenagers who are reluctant to go on holidays with their parents is a challenge but we could not recommend the Lagoon Activity Centre more - 1st day did water park and we were back a second day to race parents in kayaks across the
This was such a fun day out for adults AND kids. We kayaked, SUPd, and went on the activity park. They have a great set up, and great staff
Loved it big time. Must do experience of county cork, right after the butter factory.
A group of 17 of us had a fantastic trip to the lagoon today from adults to age 8. So much fun for everyone, the staff were incredible and friendly. Highly recommend a visit, well worth the trip !
I would likely recommend The Lagoon Activity Centre. The family really enjoyed the Total Wipeout style course. They were all smiley and tired afterwards. The coffee was good and the place is very well run and easy to navigate. It is a must see and do in West Cork!
Had a fantastic day out as usual, our annual visit to the lagoon! Changing rooms and toliets spotless, staff amazing and very helpful. We did the waterpark which requires a good level of fitness but thats clearly started in the terms and conditions,very detailed safety talk, lifeguards on the ball as per usual. Overall a fantastic day out , we will most definitely be back, looking forward to next year already. nHighly recommend.
A really great thing to do with children of all ages!! Tired arms today but such good fun! nWell organised and safe out with lifejackets. They provide wetsuits if needed. nDefinitely recommend
Our teenage son did this on his own and loved it. Well worth the money. We had great fun laughing when he fell in. I think 45 minutes is perfect. He was wrecked after it!😂
Absolutely brilliant, kids really enjoyed the kayaking which is really safe. Will be back soon
Absolutely blown away by my experience at the Lagoon. Staff were exceptional and went above and beyond my expectations. The lads doing the lifejackets and wetsuits were so friendly and professional. The waterpark itself was great craic and all my group had a ball. The whole set
We went as a family (4 kids ages 16, 14, 6 and 4, and 2 adults) a day out to celebrate the 16th birthday! It's hard to impress the older lads, but they thoroughly enjoyed this! They went on the water park, we watched for a while before bringing the smallies out on a pedal boat.
Great morning on the inflatables with 2 adults and 3 kids. Very well organised, friendly staff and good value in the cafe. Would highly recommend this activity, we all had great fun.
Great fun, well run and very safe! Staff were very friendly. Facilities were good also. Even a picnic area and some crepes etc available there.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Everything very clean. We were very well supervised while in the water park and hence had lots of fun. Thanks to all the staff
Absolutely enjoyed this activity centre, it's even great for those people who have a fear of water or can't swim, cos the water is only 3ft deep. So safe enough. Definitely go on this again, loads of fun to be had, in good weather and bad. Brilliant fun
Fantastic activity centre kids thoroughly enjoyed it. Great fun plenty of exercise. Staff were friendly and helpful today especially Dylan with welcome and wetsuits etc. Recommend it highly kids of all ages will love it. Will be back again.
Great day out for both adults and kids, any foot protection would be welcome, as you wouldn't notice the sore feet during the activity but definitely afterwards lol... ( Well worth it tho ☺️☺️).....
This activity centre is so much fun, and easy to find in Roscarbery! The staff were wonderful and friendly. Life jackets are supplied, and wetsuits are available if you need them. There are showers and restrooms available, and food to purchase also. The Lagoon Activity Centre is a great laugh. It's a bit on the slippy side, so be prepared to fall into the water if you're walking or running too fast! The water is salty, and while it's around 3ft deep in some places, it's much deeper in other parts. You can also hire out peddle boats, stand up paddle boards and kayaks also. A great activity centre for both adults and kids! 5 out of 5!!
Booked for family of 4 as part of our holiday in West Cork and Paul the manager was very accommodating when we had a problem with the time we booked. We had great fun on the inflatables…kids loved the slide and the hamster wheel! There are lovely warm showers after too. Staff were great. We had previously been as a few times and and we will definitely be back again…it doesn’t get old!
It is a very family area for all ages and I really enjoyed my day
Did the waterpark and pedal boat and kayaking - fantastic day out. Even in the rain. Highly recommend.
Big family group. Highlight of the family holiday. Kids loved it. Well worth a visit!
Had a fab time here with my family. Staff were so friendly and helpful and made sure to look after my little girl.
Great craic, I went with my 9 year old son. Wrecked afterwards but definitely worth it. Looking forward to doing it again.
How To Get Here
The Lagoon Activity Centre is ideally located in Rosscarbery, Co. Cork, just over an hour away from Cork City and around 2 hours from Limerick. Easily accessible by car and on a main bus route (230 bus from Cork City!) The Lagoon is a breeze to get to.
Pedal boats, also referred to as pedalo boats, offer the perfect opportunity for both family and friends alike to share quality time at the Lagoon Activity Centre. Known for their user-friendly functionality, these boats cater to people of all ages and abilities, ensuring everyone can join in the fun amid our scenic Rosscarbery.
Moreover, being surrounded by our stunning waterfront aids disconnection from our often-mundane routines. The change in the natural environment and feelings of disconnection have been known to contribute to relieving stress while contributing to improving your overall mood, what’s not to love?!
A reasonable proficiency in swimming and fitness is necessary.
Yes, life jackets are provided to all participants who are using the pedal boats. Life jackets are essential safety gear and must be worn by everyone who participates in our offerings, regardless of their previous knowledge and/or experience.
The water is an average of 3 feet deep in the Lagoon (This does not include the depth of the water in the waterpark).
Typically speaking, a pedal boat can accommodate up to two small children and two adults.
Yes, any child under the age of 12 years must be accompanied by an adult (aged 18 years and above), when pedal boating although the supervising adult can fit in a separate boat if they wish.

- Hat: Wearing a hat while pedal boating provides sun protection and shields your eyes from direct sunlight.
- Sunglasses: Sunglasses are essential for improving visibility, reducing eye strain caused by strong UV rays, and minimizing glare from the sea while using our pedal boats.
- Swimwear: A must-have for any water sports!!
Yes, we provide toilets, changing facilities, and well-needed hot showers to warm you up after your day’s adventure!
