ABOUT US
 

Seapaddling.com is based in Fenor, just outside Tramore in County Waterford. Paddling locations include Waterford’s famous Copper Coast, Waterford Estuary and the rivers of the county including the Barrow and Suir. We also organise and lead expeditions to the Saltee Islands and the West of Ireland.

Seapaddling.com began life as a kayaking company committed to making the spectacular scenery of the Irish coastline accessible to locals and visitors alike in a way that prioritised safety and enjoyment. Driven by a genuine passion for the sport and a love of the marine environment the company has, in the years since it’s formation, broadened it’s remit to include training while keeping the essence of what originally prompted it into being.

Seapaddling.com now offers a range of beginner, intermediate and advanced Irish and British Canoe Union courses, summer camps for pre-teens and teenagers and a variety of trips and expeditions for beginner and more experienced paddlers. The company is also an agent for the prestigious Wilderness Systems range of kayaks and has a range of accessories available for purchase specifically tailored for paddlers.
