Location

Kilmurvey Beach

This experience is ideal for visitors looking for a relaxed outdoor activity between ferries, cycling stops, or beach time.

Experience the Atlantic from the sheltered waters of Kilmurvey Bay on the western side of Inis Mór. This relaxed guided kayaking experience stays mostly within the bay, with a gentle paddle along the shoreline and, depending on conditions, a little further beyond the beach to explore the rocky coast nearby.


No experience is needed. We keep the pace easy, take time to enjoy the surroundings, and make sure everyone feels comfortable on the water. It’s a simple and memorable way to experience the island from a different perspective.


Did you know we also offer self-guided kayak rental from Kilronan our main dive centre? Explore the coastline at your own pace with flexible rental options from our Dive Aran Kayak Adventure.
