Travel through time and history by kayak as we show you the scenic beauty of this historic harbour.

Cork Harbour is the 2nd largest natural harbour in the world and was the last port of call of the Titanic. It was once one of the most fortified ports in the world with 4 military instilations, Spike Island, Fort Camden, Fort Carlisle and Haulbouline Naval base.
