SEA KAYAKING

WILD SWIMMING SIMPLY MEANS EXPLORING THE WORLD’S OUTDOOR SWIMMING PLACES.

The health benefits are obvious but most of all it’s an adventure. Kerry has some of the best and most unspoilt outdoor swimming locations in the world with its raw beauty and ruggedness, it is a unique location for wild swimmers.

There is an abundance of clean outdoor swimming locations in Kerry all of them untainted by crowds or pollution. You may choose from peaceful sandy coves, secluded beaches, rivers, rock pools and remote mountain lakes. Even in the height of summer you can easily find quiet and uncrowded beaches and lakes.

Our tours are very relaxed we are never in a rush and all tours are tailored to the needs and abilities of the group. We strongly believe that the best swimmer in the one having the most fun. You don’t even have to be a great swimmer on our Wild Swimming Tours. There is no distance you must swim and the amount of time you spend in the water is up to you. It’s all about submerging yourself in the beautiful landscape. It is more than just a visual tour, you get to feel, smell, taste and become part of the environment.
