On the Water

If it’s adventure you’re after on your visit to West Cork then why not participate in one of our many water based activities. Hire a Canoe or Kayak and take a leisurely paddle around the Bay. Mind don’t splash the seals bobbing nearby! If it’s thrills you’re after then why not try wake-boarding – although be advised – it is not for the faint hearted! Whale Watching trips run daily until November where you can spot Dolphins, Porpoises and Guillemots. Whatever you do - don’t forget your camera!
