‘Kerry to me has everything’

The initial idea for Emerald Outdoors, located in Kenmare was born during a chat by founders Colin and Jamie. While on the banks of the Nile river in Uganda, where they were working as white-water kayak guides. The pair have worked as senior kayak guides across 5 continents, accumulating 20+ years of professional kayak guiding between them, around the world.

In November 2016, Colin phoned Jamie to come home from Africa and explore Kenmare, a mountain-ringed town by the sea in Kerry. On discovering Kenmare Bay, they both felt that the opportunities and benefits offered by a kayak tour in Kenmare Bay would rank amongst the most spectacular experiences that they have encountered, anywhere in the world.

In setting up Emerald Outdoors, awarded Kerry's Travel & Hospitality Awards Tour Company of the Year 2020, the plan was to cherry pick the best practices that they had encountered in the tourism industry around the world and combine this with their passion for kayaking, offering mystical paddling tours to suit all ages.
