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
