Kayaking and Canoeing
Whether it’s lazy hazy days of river excursions in Canadian canoes, voyaging over the big blue in a sea kayak, or bubbling and bouncing rides on a white-water river, you’ve come to the right place if your idea of fun is travelling by paddle power.
Boasting endless cliffs, caves, coves, islands and beaches, West Cork, Kerry, Achill, Connemara, Sligo and Clew Bay near Westport are ideal for ocean voyages. And depending on conditions, sea kayaking is an activity for all the family – from the kiddies to the grandparents.
Those who prefer the open-top freedom of Canadians are well catered for too on lakes and rivers across Kerry, Sligo, Connemara and Ballyhoura.
If that all sounds lovely but a little too mellow, don’t despair! It’s no secret that Ireland gets its fair share of rain and then mountainous rivers spring to life and put smiles on the faces of the adventure seeking white-water kayakers.
