Discover Your Next Outdoor Adventure

We had such a great time with Emma on a recent tour! She created such a friendly atmosphere and had a lovely itinerary for us including hiking, lunch, boat tour and sauna. She is clearly very knowledgeable about the area, and we saw some beautiful spots while on the tour, a fabulous way to see a bit more of South Kerry. I would highly recommend going on a tour, such an enjoyable day and a great way to go to some picturesque spots away from the tourist mainstream areas and enjoy a day in nature!

We had a wonderful and exciting day with Oileán Adventures during our holiday in South Kerry. Away from the tourist mainstream, Emma guided us in a small group through the beautiful countryside around Cahersiveen. For me (61, and from the German "Lowlands") the hill hike to Beentee was quite challenging, but I was very proud when we reached the top and had fantastic views into the distance. We particularly liked the fact that Emma not only knew her way around geographically and could explain to us exactly what we were looking at, but also showed us lots of plants along the way. Little things that we would never have discovered on our own. Pleasantly exhausted, we had a cosy lunch in Cahersiveen with delicious pub food that left nothing to be desired, even for me as a vegetarian. Unfortunately, the planned boat tour had to be cancelled due to engine problems. However, this didn't dampen our spirits, as we were able to enjoy the Skellig sauna all the longer at the end. Chatting and laughing in the sauna was a welcome surprise for us Germans and nothing, really nothing, could beat cooling off in the Atlantic afterwards. We enjoyed this day with Emma to the full, as she is very enthusiastic about nature and lovely as a person. We really hope that we will have the opportunity to experience a little adventure with her again.

So good I booked again. This is the way to experience the hidden gems and hit up all the good local spots. I did both the Valentia bike and hike tour and the Cahersiveen hike, boat and sauna tour. Emma was such a lovely guide, who clearly loves Cahersiveen and has put so much love and attention into curating these tours. It was a great opportunity to learn about the local area, explore walks i wouldn’t have found on my own, see the town from the water and meet some lovely people. Another big hightlight was the lunch at the Watchhouse on Valentia island- they event bought us out some freshly baked cookies for desert. Thanks so much for having us Emma and for sharing your stories and showing us the magic of South Kerry. Ill be back next year.

What a perfect way to explore stunning South Kerry with a wonderful guide. Emma’s enthusiasm for the area is infectious. We had an unforgettable day. Highly recommend!

I had an incredible experience with Oileán Adventures on a recent trip! Emma has curated a fantastic itinerary that showcased the best of Valentia and South Kerry, taking us to hidden gems and beautiful natural spots. It was a perfect way to explore South Kerry. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to connect with the outdoors and explore the Iveragh peninsula.
