Experience the untouched beauty of the Pōhatu Marine Reserve on a guided sea kayaking adventure along its dramatic outer coastline. Paddling at water level reveals towering cliffs, rugged rock stacks, colorful reefs, and impressive deep sea caves shaped by powerful ocean forces over time. In calm and settled sea conditions, the journey is enhanced with a visit to Flea Bay Island, where a striking natural island arch adds excitement and unforgettable scenery to this coastal exploration.
This kayaking experience also offers outstanding opportunities to observe the rich marine life of the reserve. Watch for penguins swimming nearby, seals resting on rocky shores, and a variety of seabirds soaring overhead, while those especially fortunate may glimpse the rare Hector’s dolphin, the smallest dolphin species in the world. No previous kayaking experience is required, making this tour suitable for beginners and nature lovers alike. Trips operate only in safe conditions and are led by experienced, knowledgeable guides who ensure your comfort, enjoyment, and safety throughout the adventure.

Had a great tour with Philip. All equipment was provided and he gave excellent instruction for two complete beginners. The wind direction meant we had to set out from Dunlaoighaire rather than Dalkey but still plenty of wildlife to see and the seals were a highlight.

A great afternoon spent kayaking around Dublin bay. Learned plenty from kayak leader Philip and his team (Amy & Dan)

I did the 2pm tour with my Mum. It was amazing to see our coastline from a different point of view. We saw plenty of marine wildlife, including grey seals basking on rocks. It was a great workout and a beautiful way to spend an afternoon. Jenny's friendliness and welcoming nature added to the experience!

We did the 5:30pm tour and couldn’t recommend it highly enough! Signup was smooth, reasonable price, clear communication beforehand, easy access for beginners, topped off by amazing views (including seals and local birds) and an excellent guide — thanks Philip!
