A unique opportunity to experience the unforgettable seascapes and wildlife of Ireland's South West coast. Dingle Peninsula has some great natural bays that are sheltered in most weather and ideal for sea kayaking - Dingle Harbour, Ventry Harbour, Smerwick Harbour and Sandy Bay Castlegregory.  Kayaking is a great way to see parts of the coast that are inaccessible from land

Suitable for families (10+), individuals or groups, you will get a full safety briefing and basic training before you even get into your boat and then give you some time to practice your moves in a sheltered area of the harbour before you paddle out to open water.
