Water Safety Talk
At Nevsail, we understand the importance of respecting the sea. We research the weather and sea conditions and only start activities when conditions are suitable. Kilkee beach is one of the safest beaches in Ireland but while working on the beach each summer, we see countless acts by children which could lead to a precarious situation if attempted at a less sheltered beach. In order to increase awarenees of safety in the water, we will provide a FREE water safety talk to your school on booking your school tour with us
Nevsail Nature
We will try and pass on many interesting facts about the wildlife creatures and formations that we come across on the day giving the kids/teens an education experience as well as just having great fun. This includes how a blow hole is formed (our instructors will show the Puffin' hole to the students on the day of the tour), learn about seals,cormorants, jellyfish, seagulls,tides and much more!
Disabled Access
We are privileged to have the exclusive use of what is said to be one of the first beach wheelchairs in Ireland. We featured in the Irish Times, Clare Champion and Limerick Leader with this chair as it gives those who are wheelchair bound, the rare opportunity to be pushed effortlessly along the sandy beach. If any of your students have special needs, please discuss this with us and we will be happy to discuss the suitability of the various activities for a particular student.
