The Expedition

700 Miles. 120 Days. One Kayak.

In 2023, I became the first woman to kayak solo around the entire coastline of Ireland. From Dublin Bay, I paddled clockwise around the island, facing Atlantic storms, navigating cliff-lined coasts, and discovering hidden beaches that most will never see.

I documented every day of the journey, sharing the wildlife encounters, the challenging moments, and the extraordinary beauty of Ireland's wild edge. Now I want to share these places with you.

We've lived in Ireland for years but never experienced it like this. The Aran Islands trip was perfectly organized and Ariel's passion is infectious.
