Kayakers celebrating on Cork Harbour with Funkytown
Fountainstown · Cork Harbour · Since 2010

Cork Harbour, uncovered.

Since 2010 we've been getting people off the beach and out onto Cork Harbour: into sea caves, off jump rocks, round the headlands and out to the harbour villages by kayak, paddleboard and RIB.

Then we built somewhere to come back to. A Finnish sauna and hot seaweed baths, right on the shoreline at Fountainstown.

No stuffy rules. No ordinary days. Just the sea, done properly.

Will I tell ya a secret?

Cork Harbour after dark

A few nights each summer, when the moon is full, we paddle out as the sun goes down and stay out as the moon comes up. Silver water, black cliffs, the lights of the harbour villages, and nobody else around.

Bucket list stuff, and most people have no idea it exists.

My 3 children aged 5, 7 & 9 took part in the Summer Scheme and spent a whole day at Funkytown. I was lucky enough to be there too that day volunteering so witnessed first hand how great all the guys were and how safety conscience they were too. While kayaking my little girl was stung by a bee out on the water and we only had to raise our hands to be whizzed away to safety and taken care of and were back out on the water in no time at all as she didn’t want to miss out on all the fun! Thanks so much I would highly recommend!

My daughter went to Funkytown Adventure Centre for summer camp the first week of July. She went knowing nobody but had the time of her life! The staff are fantastic and ensure the kids are safe at all times. She bounced home everyday and couldn’t wait to get down for more! We hope to be back next year, thanks again.

Thanks guys for a amazing experience last night for the full moon trip. For someone who grew up in Fountainstown to experience seeing areas I’d never seen along the coast was magical and great craic
