Kayaking Experience Highlights Wildlife Along Little Blackwater River
A guided paddling experience along the Little Blackwater River is offering visitors a calm and scenic journey through one of the region’s most ecologically rich brackish waterways.
The river route winds through quiet channels and unspoiled natural surroundings, providing a peaceful setting ideal for both beginners and experienced kayakers. Participants are encouraged to take in the slow-moving waters and surrounding landscapes at a relaxed pace.
Wildlife sightings are a major highlight of the experience, with opportunities to observe bald eagles, ospreys, herons, turtles, deer, wild turkeys, and the rare Delmarva fox squirrel along the shoreline. The area is especially popular with nature photographers and birdwatchers.
Organisers note that the launch site is conveniently located at the waterfront beside the Blackwater Refuge, allowing for easy access without the need for transporting equipment. The experience is designed as a simple, low-stress escape into nature with a strong focus on wildlife and scenery.

Customer Reviews
Members from South Dublin Badminton Group had a wonderful experience last Saturday 22nd November 2025 with City Kayaking on the River Liffey. Seeing our lovely city from the kayaks was unusual but we really got the time to really see Dublin from a different angle. The tour was lots of fun from start to finish; with plenty of laughs and our competitive streak showing. It was very easy to book as a Group with City Kayaking and I felt it was very well organised and run. I would highly recommend this tour.
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!
