006 Fools Island Loop

2km loop – 40 minutes

Suitable for beginners with a guide and intermediate paddler

Begin this delightful loop around Fools Island (also known as Foots Island) by entering the reed channel to your right (north) as you leave Kilgarvan Quay. The tree-lined island offers natural shelter from the wind on its northern side.

Paddle quietly and keep a keen eye on the reed banks—you might catch a glimpse of a native wildcat coming down for a drink. A peaceful and enchanting paddle!
