About Us
WELCOME TO OUR CORNER OF THE WORLD…
Where adventure meets tranquility on the crystal clear waters of the Dingle Peninsula and county Kerry beyond. We founded Wild SUP Tours on a shared love of the great outdoors and the sea. Since 2016, we’ve been crafting unforgettable experiences for nature and water lovers of all kinds.
As one of the foremost stand up paddle board tour companies in Ireland, we’re not just about paddling – we’re about creating memories that last a lifetime.
THRILLING PADDLEBOARDING WITH EXPERT GUIDES
Whether you’re a seasoned pro or dipping your toes into the world of SUP for the first time, our tours cater to all skill levels. They are handcrafted to suit your needs and appeal to your interests. Picture yourself gliding along the breathtaking coastline, surrounded by towering cliffs, hidden beaches, and tranquil woodlands. It’s not just a paddle; it’s a chance to become an explorer.
In 2022, we joined The Academy of Surfing Instructors. We dove head first into the SUP community in Ireland and we love what we found. By paddling with us, you get to join that community as well. It gave us a strong foundation in skill and safety, but more than that, it gave us a network of friends.
We would love to share that with you.
MORE THAN JUST LESSONS
At our core, we are more than just certified SUP instructors – we’re companions on your adventure. We’ll guide the way, showing you the best places to paddle, and teach you what you need to know to get there, but from the moment you arrive, you are welcomed into our community. We meet as strangers and leave as friends.
CO-FOUNDER AND SUP TOUR LEADER
Meet Ed, the visionary behind Wild SUP Tours. Since childhood, Ed has held a strong passion for the ocean and riding its waves. With this deep love for the water and the rejuvenation it brings, his connection to the sea goes beyond surfing. His passion led him to train as an environmental scientist, but his true calling was always outdoors, away from the confines of an office or laboratory.
Ed thrives in the company of others, sharing stories and making new friends. Ed’s love for the coastline and its unique inhabitants is truly infectious. He delights in sharing his passion through Wild SUP Tours. Join Ed on a paddleboard adventure, and experience the magic with a guide whose enthusiasm and knowledge will make your journey unforgettable.
CO-FOUNDER AND General Manager
Originally from the deserts of New Mexico, Oona discovered watersports later in life. Yet, once she discovered stand up paddle, she was hooked! Her love for beauty and exploration found the perfect match in SUP Touring. Sharing the stunning scenery in such an up close and intimate way is pure joy for her.
In 2019, Oona paddled the southwest coast of Ireland, in the name of environmental appreciation. It was an unforgettable journey that she can’t wait to continue. It deepened her passion for both the sport and our incredible environment. Join one of our tours, and we promise, just like Oona, you’ll walk away with a newfound sense of awe and appreciation for nature!
