Emerald Outdoors

Review

Emerald Outdoors in Kenmare is exactly what an adventure company should be: professional, welcoming, exciting and reassuringly safety focused. Owners Jamie and Colin first met as instructors in Uganda many years ago, and that shared experience has helped shape one of Ireland’s finest outdoor activity companies. Exploring beautiful Kenmare Bay in their stable double tandem sea kayaks is wonderfully relaxing, with no previous experience necessary. Guests do not need to wear wetsuits, making each trip far more comfortable, while all essential equipment and expert guidance are provided. Along the way, the team brings the landscape to life through local stories, fascinating folklore and encounters with the bay’s varied wildlife. Their night kayaking tours are especially memorable, offering the chance to paddle beneath the stars and, when conditions allow, witness magical bioluminescence sparkling in the water. Entertaining, educational and exceptionally well organised, Emerald Outdoors creates unforgettable experiences with a team who genuinely care.
