Moonlight & Starlight Kayak Tour, Castlehaven Bay
Cork, Ireland
About This Activity
Atlantic Sea Kayaking's evening tour launches at dusk from Reen Pier, Castlehaven Bay. As darkness falls, bioluminescent algae creates a shimmering trail with every paddle stroke. You'll hear seabirds roosting, smell wild honeysuckle, and drift in near-silence beneath an Atlantic sky. Double kayaks are used; no prior experience required. Book at atlanticseakayaking.com.
Seasonal note: Best Jun-Sep for longest evenings and bioluminescence
