Activities

Kayaking on the River Lee
Take the kayaks available to you at Satori and enjoy the tranquillity and wildlife that you can experience through kayaking along the River Lee. You may hear the gold medal rowers from the National Rowing Centre training but most of the time, you will share the river only with the wildlife around you.
Walking at Satori
River Walk at Satori (level easy) – only a few minutes stroll along the river bank. Enjoy passing the ferns and seeing lots of different angles of the river as you stroll along the meandering path.

Stream Walk at Satori (level easy) – enjoy walking alongside the natural stream, listening to the sound of the rippling water as you amble along. This 10 minute stroll will take you into the enchanted woods as you immerse yourself with the sounds and sights that nature has to offer.

Waterfall Forest Walk (level moderate) – go past the windchimes and up to the Buddah and climb up by the waterfall and enjoy strolling through the forest at a much higher level. This walk offers a 10 minute stroll exploring the flora and fauna of the forest. There is a seat at the high level if you wish to take a rest and there are many small bridges to pass over the water that intersects at many junctions along the way. Return at the top drive and walk down the drive.
