Jim is wonderful and so helpful and understanding for someone that has not kayaked before. He took me under his wing and provided a wonderful experience. One that I will not forget. His knowledge of kayaking is vast and very comforting. I highly recommend taking his tour. It is for all levels of experience.

The Lee up by the malting's is so clear and we saw a family of otters as well. Daly's suspension bridge and Sundays well are timeless. Definitely... More

We were guided by Jim Kennedy, who is an absolute gentleman and knows everything there is to know about kayaking and the night sky. Awesome experience, sky was clear and we were lucky enough to catch the International Space Station on its orbit around Earth. Lough Hyne... More

When I lay dying and I'm playing my "final slideshow", my night kayak on Lough Hyne with Jim Kennedy of Atlantic Sea kayaking will definitely play...outstanding and magical experience! Mother Nature puts on the best show, and the fine people of Atlantic Sea Kayaking make great guides!

My Mom and I had the pleasure of going out with Jim and his team on a night kayaking trip last month... it totally blew our minds! Jim is an amazing guide - warm, helpful, and hilarious with his stories! :) We couldn't stop talking about our experience for days... something to be experienced in person, without a doubt! Enjoy!

We had a fabulous evening on the water with JIM Kennedy , the scenery was incredible and the stories that JIM told made it all the more interesting. It is a unique experience kayaking by moonlight and very safe. JIM is one of Ireland's highest trained instructors and has years of experience, We will certainly be back!

Myself & a few friends went on the moonlight kayaking adventure. It was truly amazing. It starts around 9.30 from Reen Pier & we where provided with over the body suits - basically wear normal clothes underneath & this will keep you somewhat dry! Jim brought us out & the experience was unreal, we saw lots of interesting stuff from... More

my husband and myself enjoyed a evening/sunset kayak in Reen pier during the weekend and throughly enjoyed ourselves. Our guide Dermot was very good and told us a lot about the local area. I would highly recommend this tour and company..
