Anyone who decides to ask their girlfriend or boyfriend to marry them on either the summit of Carrauntoohil or on a kayak trip on the Killarney Lakes gets the trip for free.
According to a spokesperson from the company: “If they say ‘yes’, their trip with us is free of charge and if they say ‘no’, we’ll give you a voucher to return with someone else.”
Outdoors Ireland runs hillwalking, mountain climbing and adventure breaks, plus team building courses.
Catch:you might think this is a win-win but it's a long way back down the mountain or to the other side of the lake if you get turned down.
