What People are saying about Us
I booked Atlantic Offshore Adventures for entertaining a group of 10/11 boys for a birthday party. They were brilliant. All kids had a blast and were entertained them with loads of games. Definitely would book again and highly recommend Atlantic Offshore Adventures.
What a fantastic afternoon Kayaking around Kinsale Harbour. Rachel was a brilliant guide, she was so energetic, so clear in her instructions, and she made the trip so much fun. The scenery was stunning, and we even saw a seal swimming near us. Rachel took us to spots that aren’t accessible other than by sea, and gave us great information about Charles Fort and other features of the Harbour. The company was great to deal with and I will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Had a fantastic day paddle boarding the Lee fields so much fun. Aileen is a great instructor, really made me feel safe, comfortable and helped build my confidence.

From start to finish, great professionalism. Felt the kids were in great hands. Jack the instructor was super with the kids, fun, interesting and made for a memorable morning for my boys with their cousin from UK. They learnt some interesting facts and some kayaking techniques. They all came out of the water happy and tired and talked non stop about their adventure all the way home. Highly recommend this activity. Well done guys!

Are you looking for an adrenalin rush? Then this is for you. A group of us from work went coasteering and it was amazing. Set in magical surrounds, with the sea underneath us, 15ft off the ground and jumping into the sea!! Our guides were energetic, patient and informative. We will come back again! Reasonably priced.
