Meet Jodie, your Kiwi kayaking guide. She’s come all this way from New Zealand just for your tour. With a deep enthusiasm for adventure and the outdoor environment, she brings a lot of passion to our tours. Jodie was brought up in a remote town alongside some of the steepest cliffs in the South-East coast of New Zealand, making Ireland feel much like home. Being brought up by the sea has fostered Jodie’s love for Watersport, nature and the ocean. Sailing with glow-in-the-dark dolphins is just one of those core memories that drove her to work in this industry (bioluminescence is cool).  Known for her enthusiasm, expertise, and commitment to safety, Jodie ensures that every kayaking experience with her is an unforgettable journey.

Whether you’re a novice or an experienced paddler, Jodie’s guidance will make your experience both exhilarating and enriching. Join Jodie for an unparalleled kayaking adventure, where every stroke brings you closer to nature’s wonders.

Meet Conor, from Fethard-On-Sea – the most local guide we have at The Irish Experience! Growing up by the sea, Conor has a deep love for working with people, especially outdoors.
For Conor, the best part of this job is seeing others enjoy the same seaside he grew up beside. He’s a sports enthusiast, passionate about Arsenal even though they arent the best team in North London. GAA is also a passion and Galway is where his heart lies with his stong Galway ties. If he’s not on the water, it’s likely you’ll find him at the bar with a soft spot for Coors beer!
Join Conor for an unforgettable adventure and experience the sea through the eyes of a true local!

Adam has 6 seasons of experience in the kayak tour guide industry across 3 different countries. As a full-time veterinary medicine student, his love for animals has taken him down the professional path of caring for them; he also brings a knowledge and appreciation of flora and fauna that is relatively unique to the industry.

Aside from kayaking, he loves surfing, cooking and drinking pints of Guinness but is not particularly good at any of them. Ask him about his love for Guinness and he might just take you for a pint afterwards!

Hi, I’m Shay, a 21-year-old from New Zealand with a passion for the great outdoors. Growing up amidst New Zealand’s stunning landscapes, I pursued studies in sustainability and outdoor education at university.
Since finishing my studies last year, I’ve been guiding sea kayak tours in New Zealand and now here at The Irish Experience. Alongside kayaking, I love rock climbing and surfing.
My current favorite animal is the sea otter, which I’ve had the joy of spotting several times during tours!

Meet Ruairí, the youngest guide at The Irish Experience and a proud local from Fethard-On-Sea. Living just a short walk from the beach, I absolutely love the ocean and all its fascinating creatures, especially Grey Seals, which are my absolute favorite!
Studying never quite matches the thrill of kayaking, but I’ve truly found my true passion in the water. When I’m not guiding tours, you can usually spot me enjoying an iced coffee on my break.
Join me for an adventure, and let’s explore the wonders of the sea together!
