Tandem kayaks can accommodate up to two adults and one child with a maximum weight limit of 490 pounds. This activity is perfect for families, friends, or couples who want to enjoy time together on the water while exploring scenic surroundings. Paddling in tandem not only strengthens teamwork but also offers a peaceful and immersive experience in nature. Participants will enjoy the gentle motion of the kayak, the reflective water views, and the opportunity to observe wildlife from a unique perspective.
Safety and comfort are emphasized throughout the experience. Age restrictions apply to ensure proper supervision and guidance. Children between ages 3 and 12 must kayak with a parent or guardian, while those aged 13 to 15 can paddle with another participant but require parental supervision nearby.

Niamh
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!

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.

Myself and a group of friends did the music under the bridges experience this Sat. The experience itself its brilliant, great to get out onto the Liffey and see the city from a different perspective and the musician was brilliant. My only feedback was the guide - he was so grumpy and rude it totally killed the vibe. Its hard to relax and enjoy "dirty old town" being sung on the Liffey when youve just been screamed at for daring to have a giggle at any point. Understandably safety is key, but a a more personable delivery of instructions and the space to at least crack a smile at some point would have really made the experience far more memorable.
