Sea Kayaking Donegal. Coastal Exploration.

Explore the stunning Donegal coastline and islands and discover the unseen and unspoiled places that can only be reached by sea kayak. Our sea kayak tours offer you the opportunity to go and explore on the wild Atlantic Ocean. Get close to a whole host of marine life and sea birds and capture the Wild Atlantic Way’s beautiful and dramatic coastline and scenery.

The aim of our sea kayak tours is to give people an unforgettable experience paddling to wild remote and hidden places. Paddle along gigantic sea cliffs, through sea arches and into darkened sea caves or rocky coves and landing at desolate sandy beaches along the way.

Over the winter and early spring period – weather permitting, we sometimes run an inland kayak trip if sea conditions will not permit a sea kayak coastal  journey. The inland kayak trips link up slow moving rivers and lakes in the Donegal hinterland. For more information regarding our Winter Inland Tours visit the Inland Kayak Tours page here.
