About This Tour
This is the ultimate Irish kayaking expedition. Over three days, we'll paddle around Malin Head - Ireland's most northerly point - exploring sea stacks, remote beaches, and waters teeming with wildlife. We'll camp wild on beaches I discovered during my circumnavigation, cook over campfires, and watch the Northern Lights if we're lucky. This is proper adventure, suitable for experienced paddlers seeking something extraordinary.
