Emerald Outdoors

Adventure of every kind in Kenmare ⛰️🌊

The Emerald Outdoors team swapped the kayaks for a day of gorge walking with Sea to Summit Adventures — waterfalls, rock slides, jumps and plenty of laughs along the way.

One of the best things about staying in Kenmare is the sheer amount of adventure on the doorstep. Paddle the bay, explore the mountains, admire the stars, hike, cycle, gorge walk… and come back to Kenmare at the end of it all for wonderful food and amazing hotels.

A huge thanks to Tomas from Sea to Summit Adventures for an epic team day out!

Stay in Kenmare. Adventure from Kenmare. Experience Kenmare.

Some nights on Kenmare Bay feel a little closer to the stars. ✨🚀

Watching the International Space Station glide silently overhead from a kayak is one of those moments that makes you stop paddling, look up, and simply take it all in.

Nature below. Space above. Not a bad way to spend an evening.

Some evenings don’t need a soundtrack. 🌅

Just the gentle sound of the water, the last light of the day, and good company on Kenmare Bay.

Sometimes the best adventures are the quietest ones. 💚

It is HOT out there 🥳

🎙️ We were delighted to hear Emerald Outdoors get a mention on RTÉ 2FM! 💚

If you’ve been thinking about joining a Night Kayak Tour, this is your sign. 🌅✨

The evening tours are about so much more than just paddling. Expect stunning scenery, wildlife, stories, and the chance to experience the magic of Kenmare Bay after dark. And if nature is feeling generous, you might even witness bioluminescence lighting up the water. ✨

Because bioluminescence is a natural phenomenon, sightings vary throughout the season and can never be guaranteed—but every night on the bay has its own kind of magic.
