A great afternoon spent kayaking around Dublin bay. Learned plenty from kayak leader Philip and his team (Amy & Dan)
Went out this morning and Conditions were perfect 👌 All equipment needed was provided, well organised. Tour was informative and fun. My priority was seeing seals and I saw plenty. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. Thanks all!!
I did the 2pm tour with my Mum. It was amazing to see our coastline from a different point of view. We saw plenty of marine wildlife, including grey seals basking on rocks. It was a great workout and a beautiful way to spend an afternoon. Jenny's friendliness and welcoming nature added to the experience!
We did the 5:30pm tour and couldn’t recommend it highly enough! Signup was smooth, reasonable price, clear communication beforehand, easy access for beginners, topped off by amazing views (including seals and local birds) and an excellent guide — thanks Philip!
Great craic. Phil and James were brilliant, taking us out on an engaging and fun kayak tour of Dalkey island. Great focus on safety and making sure there were plenty of breaks so no one was left behind or struggling. If you’re doing this I’d recommend bringing old shoes with you!
