The Dingle Peninsula, on Ireland’s southwest Atlantic coast, is ringed by sandy beaches, islands, craggy cliffs and wild waves. rolling hills and mountains, including 952m Mount Brandon and Connors Pass. Many heritage sites like a 6th-century monastery on one of the 7 local islands. Lots of culture adventures here in the "gaeltacht" Irish speaking area. The area is astonishing in its beauty and experiences it will make it a trip of a life time.

Activities & Shift

I can provide lots of different water sports equipment and lessons in exchange for work such as surfing, windsurfing, paddle boarding, foiling, sailing boat, snorkelling, kayaking and paddle boating. Possible Fishing Boat trips, island site seeing and towing behind both in the sport of your choice.
My father owns a water sports business at which I teach a wide variety of sports. Summertime (June-august) is a very busy time for me on the beach and at the lodge as ill be working with both businesses.
I could provide a bike for our worker and organize lifts if he/she wanted to go to the town occasionally. We are half an hour from a big town called Tralee and Dingle a very popular tourist attraction with amazing nightlife, pubs playing regular live music, a lot of it traditional, There are lots of young people around especially guests visiting so plenty of company and good memories to make.
