Kayaking on The Lakes of Killarney
Editor: Laura Tangney. Location: Lakes of Killarney
Spend some time exploring the deep, sparkling Lakes of Killarney or the fast flowing local rivers by kayak or canoe, with an expert guide.
Lakes of Killarney Kayaking-
Beginning at 15th century Ross Castle, paddle into Lough Leane, discovering wooded islands, limestone caves and local history. With an experienced, qualified guide learn the skills to master your kayak and keep a look-out for white-tailed sea eagles as they soar above Killarney National Park. Land at the ancient ruins of Innisfallen Abbey; once a leper colony, now home only to native red deer.
Sunset Kayaking-
Watch the sun set in the west over Killarney National Park and Dingle. Kayak silently past rustling islands and sleepy swans. Land at the mystical 6th century abbey ruins on Innisfallen Island and hopefully glimpse some of Ireland's last native red deer. Return by kayak to Ross Castle in twilight, and possibly moonlight, as nightfall creeps over the oak and yew woods...
Night Kayak Trip Across The Lakes Of Killarney -
Are you looking for something a little different when visiting Killarney, we think we've got it!
This magical trip is designed for experienced paddlers and participants of our other guided kayak tours. Beginning at Muckross Lake, paddle past Devil's Island and beneath the steep slopes of Torc Mountain, deep into the ancient heart of Killarney National Park. By moonlight explore the wild western shores of Lough Lein, with its shadowy reflections and secret inlets. Land on a deserted beach for hot chocolate, while owls and deer patrol the night, before returning to civilisation.
River Kayaking-
Spend a unique and exhilarating day exploring Kerry's Laune River by kayak or canoe, in the company of a qualified guide. From the mouth of Lough Leane to the crumbling ruins of Ballymalis Castle, paddle down the gently winding Laune River, through woodland and green countryside, overlooked by the MacGillycuddy Reeks.
Learn kayak techniques for the occasional section of rapids you will encounter. Enjoy a delicious picnic lunch, while relaxing on a grassy river bank and even take a swim in the fresh mountain water!
Suitable for all abilities, from complete beginners upwards. Take some time out for a summer of high adrenaline adventures to relaxing trips
