Moonlight/Starlight Kayaking Business Details The Abbey, Skibbereen, Co. Cork T  +353 (0) 28 21058 E   info@atlanticseakayaking.com W  www.atlanticseakayaking.com Business Contact  Jim Kennedy Experience One of our most magical and popular kayaking experiences, a moonlight/ starlight paddle starts one hour before darkness. This is a very atmospheric trip and we do not travel a great distance, so it is suitable for everyone. 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.

Beauty and history collide on this boat tour across the harbour of stunning Kinsale in Cork and out to the Atlantic’s edge. Your captain, Jerome, knows these waters like the back of his hand. Born and bred on the Old Head of Kinsale, he has worked as a fisherman for 28 years and is an expert on the area, having studied archaeology and Celtic civilisations, and obtained a Masters in local history. On The Spirit of Kinsale you’ll ride the waters, listening to stories of this important European trading post, the network of fortified towers and signal stations built to ward off invasion, the Siege of Kinsale in 1601 and the sinking of a transatlantic liner – the Lusitania – by a German U-Boat, an event which changed the course of theWorldWar I, drawing the US into battle.
