7 years ago this is how Emerald outdoors started. A few boats, a tiny shed and an idea. We feel very lucky to have found such a nice place to kayak and be involved with such a nice community.
Emerald Outdoors offer relaxing guided tours of Kenmare bay. Jamie has recently returned from several years teaching kayaking in Uganda and Nepal.
(45)
Explore the hidden beauty of the bay by day or wonder at sparking bioluminescence by night; their experienced guides will help you get closer to nature in an eco-friendly kayak. Emerald outdoors is owned and run by two friends, Colin and Jamie, who met whilst working as kayak guides on the river Nile in Uganda. Both have worked as white water kayak coaches around the world and they have over 22 ye
ars coaching and guiding experience between them. Colin is back from an epic expedition, in which he provided rescue cover whilst also becoming one of the first people to kayak more than 2000km of the Arabian gulf, from Kuwait to Oman.

Wearing a buoyancy aid is required by law in Ireland when out on any water craft 🛶 An appropriate buoyancy aid is an easy way to stay safe while out on the water. Always make sure your buoyancy aid provides the correct level of flotation, is the correct size, and is being worn properly 💙 Find more water safety information here - https://www.canoe.ie/safety-on-the-water/

Thanks to the lovely people who joined us on a beautiful night trip and managed to capture some of the magic of bioluminescence, we love it 🤩
When the weather is bad we make our own fun!
When the weather is too windy for kayak tours (thanks storm Barry!) we still love to get out on the water. This is 13 year old Stanko, the youngest member of our team, doing his first ever roll in a kayak! If you want to learn to roll a kayak or up your skills please get in touch, we can run instructional sessions for rolling, sea kayaking, whitewater or almost anything else kayak related…. Good Job Stanko!!
Keep an eye for our kayak classes. Learn to roll a kayak, stay safe and have fun.
A very different post today. Here is Jamie doing what is called a loop in a kayak. (Don’t worry you don’t need to do this on our tours 🤣) Jamie spent over 5 years teaching freestyle kayaking in Africa before he moved to Kenmare and he’s still got the skills. #kerry #ireland #staycation #kenmare #wildatlanticway #failteireland #discoverireland
Sammy the seal ☺️ #kerry #ireland #staycation #kenmare #failteireland #discoverireland #wildatlanticway #kayaking #paddle
During one of our safety training days, here is Eamon, Sinead and Sam switching kayaks while still afloat, with the rest of the team watching and hoping they would fall in 🤣🤣. #kayaksafe #havefun #kerry #kenmare #kayak #wildatlanticway #failteireland #ireland
