Operating just a minutes from the apartment, City Kayaking gives the opportunity to explore the River Liffey and view many of Dublin's iconic landmarks. Each tour last around two hours, with around 90 minutes on the water. During high tide, the tours pass through the city centre, while low tide tours explore the docklands area and almost as far out as Dublin Bay. Although there is an age requirement of 12+, this is fine for everyone - there is a safety boat that accompanies every tour (which will give you a tow if you need it!).
