"I have lingered over the Waterford coast, because it is known to very few, and is well worthy of being known better... a high coast - mostly of volcanic rocks it is true, but with Old Red Sandstone at either end - flowery slopes, lofty cliffs and stacks and pinnacled islets with colonies of sea-birds of many kinds, as well as Choughs, Peregrines, Ravens; and an illimitable glittering sea extending to the southward."

About David
After many years of paddling David’s love for sea kayaking and guiding led him to set up his own operation in 2018 along Waterford’s Copper Coast. David knows this area intimately and believes it has some of the best sea kayaking in Ireland and feels it is a privilege to be able to share it with others.

What We Offer
"I had an amazing day kayaking with David, I honestly never knew how breathtaking the copper coast was. We paddled around the sea stacks and caves before pulling into a beautiful beach that's only accessible from the sea. If I could book a trip every week I would. An absolutely superb experience!"
