Our Kayaking tour guide was awesome, he was so kind and all the rules were straightforward! He did an awesome job at guiding us and kept up with our pace- even when we slowed down. It was such an amazing experiencing seeing seals so close to us in their natural habitat, knowing they’re safe and protected but being able to be close to them was awesome. I really loved kayaking, there was so much history and passion being told from our kayaking guide- it made our vacation so much more fun & genuine. I hope to come back to Ireland soon!

This was a great trip! Even though the weather didn’t cooperate for a trip to Dalkey Island, the guides rearranged our tour time to make it happen. And they constantly checked in to ensure everyone was comfortable in windy conditions - the wetsuits were great so we all wanted to keep going!

It was fun to learn the local history and see marine life. Paddling the Harbor was much more fun than just walking along the shore. I’d love to go back on a sunny day for another adventure!

Wonderful!!! Our guide Phillip went absolutely above and beyond. My 70 year old mom kept up just fine. One of the highlights of our trip.

We had such a great time in Dun Laoghaire harbour! Guides were amazing, we saw some funky seals and everybody had fun! Really recommend the experience to everybody - we were not an easy group to handle (children, water sports newbies as well as quite advanced folks) but everybody enjoyed the time spent on water! 🦭👌

This was such a fun tour! We saw soooo many seals and they came right up to us. Felt like an explorer getting off at the island and seeing the animals. Guides were very friendly and fun.

Susan and Jenny were great. Very friendly and explained everything very well. I would abosolutly go back if i am in Dublin again. Having never kayaked before, they looked after us very well and we felt safe the whole time.

Been on my bucket list for a while ... just needed my planets to align ! Today was the day.

All kitted up in wetsuits and bouyancy vests, we were given instructions on shore and then headed out to the inner harbour to practise.

Gentle leisurely paddle, and yes, we saw seals ! Bobbing in the water ...

Interesting light history, biology and geology commentary along the way from the guides. Our guides were Phil and Jenny.

Oh, and the sun shone all afternoon !

So cool seeing the seals and the bay. Great guides and if you’re worried about being cold- don’t be, the wetsuits will keep you plenty warm. Also, for my fellow chub’n’flub friends (aka fat), don’t worry, they got big size wetsuits!

Wonderful crew, thanks for the experience. I enjoyed the small contests and games in between the most.
