A Moonlight Kayak in West Cork with

At  Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa

Something for the more active hens at Inchydoney

Overlooking two magnificent stretches of Blue Flag beach, just outside the pretty heritage town of Clonakilty in West Cork, Inchydoney Island Lodge & Spa is a warm, polished and welcoming seaside hotel with a unique and wonderful thalasso therapy seawater spa. It’s the perfect choice for hens and drags looking for either a relaxing spa break, an activity break, or a mix of the two.

Their kayaking break includes two nights in one of their luxurious bedrooms, each of which has its own private balcony with stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and breakfast on both mornings in the Gulfstream Restaurant. You can enjoy access to their heated Seawater Therapy Pool, Sauna, Hammam and Relaxation Areas, and a very special moonlight kayak where you will take to the water with the professionals from Atlantic Sea Kayaking and enjoy a leisurely and atmospheric kayaking experience in the moonlight  There is always something to make you gasp on the moonlight / starlight kayak trip, whether it be the silhouette of the seabirds on the bank, the red sunset, the whole panoply of stars overhead, the moonlight reflected on the water, or, at certain times of year, the astonishing bio-luminescence. This is a light emitted by marine life, which, from the paddler’s point of view, causes the water to light up around your paddle in 1,000 tiny lights.

The kayaking break costs from €210 per person sharing for 2 nights bed and breakfast and the kayaking experience.
