Sea Kayaking with The Adventure Islands.

Kayaking in Mayo

 

Mayo has lots of options for kayaking. There are plenty of rivers and lakes to explore around the county for more experienced paddlers, but by far the most popular option is sea kayaking in Clew Bay and beyond.

A sea kayak allows you to experience Clew Bay in a completely different way to any other boat. The maneuverability and quietness of the sea kayak means that you can slowly traverse the coastal islands seeing wildlife and birds up close, explore cliffs and caves near Westport and visit places no other boat can reach.

Sea Kayaking with The Adventure Islands

The Adventure Islands has a variety of canoe and kayaking options. During the summer months they offer half-day and full-day trips throughout Clew Bay. They also offer evening courses during the week that can help you improve your sea kayaking skills.

Sit On-Top Kayaking

For the absolute beginner, sit-top kayaking is a great way to experience the thrill of paddling your own boat. The Adventure Islands has sit on-top Kayaks for leisurely paddling on the lake at Westport House. They also offer in-shore fun on their island bases, paddling in the surf on the beach.
