Experience the Island from the Water

Kayaking on Inishmore is one of the most relaxing ways to discover the island. Paddle past sea rocks, seabirds, and quiet little bays where the ocean meets ancient stone. No rush, no noise just you, the kayak, and the rhythm of the Atlantic.


We’ll get you set up with quality gear, a safety briefing, and a simple map of the area. From there, you’re free to explore within our safe zone and enjoy the coastline your own way.


Choose your kayaking location. Start right beside the Dive Aran at Kilronan Harbour for easy access and calm sheltered waters, or head to Kilmurvey Beach near Dún Aonghasa for a more scenic paddle along the island’s most beautiful bay.
