Set off from the shore at Magheramore and trace the low, stirring edge of County Wicklow for two focused hours of paddling. This coastal tour is aimed at confident paddlers who want an intimate encounter with the sea—gliding past rocky shelves and kelp beds where local seals and shorebirds are commonly seen—while all core kit is provided to keep you on the water.

What the day feels like

What It Feels Like

Expect two hours of active, coastal paddling: launching onto the nearshore waters, settling into a measured stroke cadence and moving slowly along the Wicklow coast while scanning for seals and birds. The pace favors observation and steady progression rather than long-distance sprinting—an on‑water rhythm that rewards patience and a good stance.
