FULL DAY SEA KAYAKING TRIP TO THE SALTEE ISLANDS

The Saltee Islands are situated 4 miles off Kilmore Quay in Co Wexford. This is not a trip for beginners but for paddlers with some open water kayaking experience and is designed to help the paddler get better acquainted with the ocean and all it has to offer. The pace of the trip is relaxed and the group will paddle together so that everyone can enjoy a full day on the water.

As with all our sea kayaking trips, the visit to the Saltee Islands begins at 10am with a brief chat with one of our guides to establish the itinerary for the day and a recap for those paddling on the importance of staying safe on the water.

The trip takes in both of the Saltee Islands and, as the Great Saltee affords unique opportunities for both bird and wildlife watching, we not only paddle around it but stop there for lunch! The Great Saltee is a place of stunning natural beauty and a haven for bird and marine life. As well as the beautiful deserted inlets the island is home to a grey seal colony and spectacular gannet and puffin colonies.

As the day advances, we pick up paddles again and return to Kilmore Quay, arriving back there at approximately 5p.m. This sea kayaking trip to the Saltee Islands is a unique opportunity to discover one of the most stunning hidden treasures of the Wexford coastline.

Note: paddlers will need to take a change of clothes and a packed lunch for the trip.
