Night kayaking with Atlantic Sea Kayaking was an amazing experience. The guides were very professional, got us set up and on the water quickly and led us safely round the lough. Their explanations of the area, the nature, history, and definitely true stories were excellent. Seeing the bioluminescence was a bonus too with good conditions in the darkest parts of the lough. An unforgettable experience!

When we went, bioluminescence was difficult to see, but the moon was also SO bright. The night kayak experience was worth the effort either way! The stories and knowledge from the guides (who kept us very safe) really adds to the experience. I want to do this tour a second time with a new moon for the full experience.

We had a great time on the water today! Naoise Was so kind to do a tour with us despite it being off season. We had a fab 2 hour tour exploring the Lough and its surroundings. Naoise was super easy to talk to and full of chats and information about the area. Thank you!
