Feel comfortable in your eco-friendly accommodation and make your holiday more sustainable with the eco-friendly activities available in County Fermanagh in Northern Ireland.
County Fermanagh is lake country, a haven of escape, relaxation and leisurely travel. Its open waters, many coastal towns and villages and numerous islands offer a place to experience culture and heritage, enjoy incredible natural scenery and meet local artisans.
A long holiday away from the hustle and bustle is the ideal way to explore the tranquil and picturesque lake districts, full of world-class experiences and attractions and all the elements that enhance your quality of life.
If you're looking for an eco-friendly place to unwind, stay at the Belmore Court Hotel, which has sustainability at its core, or enjoy a peaceful night's sleep under the stars in luxurious bubble domes at Finn Lough. Domes blend into their natural surroundings, and sustainable practices such as eliminating single-use plastic are the norm.
Belle Isle Estate also offers exemplary green practices in its accommodation, which can be either a fairytale castle or luxury self-catering courtyard cottages. Stop here and you can eat food grown on the estate from the garden or have eggs for breakfast from the chickens roaming the fields.
But wherever you decide to stay in Fermanagh, make sure you enjoy eco-friendly water activities.
Be one of the first on the island of Ireland to go on an e-board jet ski adventure. Castle Archdale Boat Hire's Erne Adventures have introduced new powered jet skis that are very stable, reversible and easy to manoeuvre, thanks to their wide boards and handlebars. Amazing eco-friendly e-boards are the perfect way to explore Lough Erne and thriving Enniskillen, Ireland's only island town.
Or take a kayak from Blue Green Yonder at Blueways in Enniskillen to paddle through the calm waters and enjoy the amazing scenery from a different perspective.
Also check out Island Discovery, a quiet, all-electric, eco-friendly pontoon boat that offers one of the best ways to appreciate panoramic views and hear the distinct sounds of the waterways.
The boat accommodates up to 12 passengers and can be hired for private events, or you can choose from wonderful options including the Whiskey and Blues Experience, the Lakelander Food Experience or the Island Town Experience with a Local Historian.
Another unique lake experience that echoes Fermanagh's stunning natural environment is sunrise yoga on the famous Devenish Island, one of Fermanagh's 'holy islands'. The monastery was founded here in the sixth century, and the round tower still stands in almost perfect condition.
Aurora Yoga will take you to the island via private water taxi, where you can spend the morning moving mindfully in nature. Follow with a light breakfast inspired by the monks who once inhabited the island, and finish with a tour of some of the key attractions.
