We took this service yesterday and had a great experience. Jonathan was very patient, helpful, and a good trainer/teacher. It was grey, cold, and windy day but we had a wonderful and memorable experience. I would recommend this adventure. Note that your pants/legs will get wet from the water dripping from the paddle.

I had an absolutely incredible time kayaking in Dublin! The whole experience was so well-organized from start to finish: friendly guides, great equipment, and a relaxed atmosphere that made it enjoyable for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or more experienced. Paddling along the water gave such a unique perspective of the city, with stunning views and a really peaceful vibe away from the bustle of the streets. The guides shared fun insights about Dublin’s history and landmarks, which made it even more memorable. I left feeling refreshed, energized, and already planning my next trip back. Highly recommend this to anyone visiting or living in Dublin, it’s an experience you won’t forget!

Our guide definitely did not want to be there. He shared very minimal information (but the few nuggets he gave us were interesting). He was in a motorboat, sometimes quite a bit ahead of the last people in our group, staring at his phone. Has someone capsized in the back of our group, he would have had no idea. The chances of capsizing are low because there is no wake or waves, so at least there is that. And kayaking is fun no matter how bored the guide or how icky the water so 3 stars.
