A guided SUP tour along the beautiful Islandmagee coastline with many hidden gems, including a popular spot to encounter dolphins, porpoises and seals so look out.

Launching from Portmuck Harbour we will pass the Isle of Muck, which is an Ulster Wildlife bird sanctuary and a nesting place for many protected seabirds. A notable population of breeding seabirds including razorbill, guillemot, puffin, kittiwake and fulmar. Harbour Porpoises, bottle nose dolphins and seals are also seen regularly off the coast of Portmuck. The tombolo (a bar that extends outward from the shore, connecting with an island) between Isle of Muck and the mainland is the only such feature on the open coast of Northern Ireland.

We will then make our way along the coastline towards Browns Bay. This stretch of coastline is an Area of Special Scientific Interest due to its unique rock and fossil formations. Portmuck contains the best exposure of the Cretaceous Hibernian formation in Northern Ireland, the only occurrence of the mineral sodalite in Ireland and the international type locality of Gobbinsite.

Along the coastline there are also many small coves and waterfalls to explore. If conditions are right we will pass Skernaghan point and stop off at Browns Bay beach for a short break before setting off on our return journey.
