Our inclusion programmes

Boat trips on our accessible Wheelyboat Saoirse

We are delighted to showcase one of our most fantastic and inclusive resources- trips in our Wheelyboat. This boat is adapted and designed to cater to people who use wheel chairs. We are also making these trips more accessible through a nominal fee. Join us, and explore the wonders of Kinsale Harbour!

To book a trip, please email info@kinsaleoutdoors.com and we will contact you with all the details, or call us at 021 477 2896.

Special thanks to Cork Education and Training Board for sharing in our vision of Inclusive activities and assisting us in securing such a valued boat.

Ladies Who Launch

Ladies Who Launch, in collaboration with Cancer Rehab Ireland, is a kayaking programme for women undergoing cancer treatment. It is designed to be complimentary to the learner's medical treatment & wellbeing focused in nature. This programme is supported by a chartered physiotherapist working in tandem with our own qualified kayak instructors to provide a high duty of care.

Ladies Who Launch has so far enjoyed three successful iterations since 2020, and we are proud to support the women of Cork through their journeys.
