We will meet you at the slip way in Bullock Harbour in Dalkey at the start time listed on the booking receipt. We may not be visible before the start time as we may be taking a break between sessions or travelling from another session elsewhere. Getting there: By train from Dublin City Centre – take the southbound DART and get off at Dalkey. Follow signs from the train station to Bullock Harbour (10 mins walk) or ask anyone in picturesque Dalkey for directions. They’d be delighted to help you. By car: follow the coast road or the N11 to Bullock Harbour in Dalkey. There is free parking at the harbour. We encourage people to car pool or take the DART as we are an environmentally conscious business.

tours leave at 9.30am and 2pm and our sunset tour on Thursday and Friday evenings leaves at 6.30pm. Tours last for 3 hours from time of arrival to time of leaving. Tours go at a leisurely, relaxed pace. It’s all about enjoying yourself.

Please arrive at the designated tour time. i.e. if your tour is at 9.30am aim to arrive at 9.30am. Our tours last for 3 hours from time of arrival to time of leaving. We will spend some time kayaking in the harbour getting used to the kayaks before heading out on our adventure.

All you need to bring is something to wear under a wetsuit (togs or shorts), footwear that you don’t mind getting wet and a towel. If the weather is cool you might like to bring base layers, an old pair of tights, socks, a hat, fleece and a rain jacket (as appropriate). We will provide everything else.

Kids must aged 14 or over to join the tour. For kayaking for younger children please see details on our family kayaking sessions HERE.

Our guided kayak tour is a great group activity. We’ll even provide Prosecco and chocolates on Dalkey Island for groups of 6 or more. Any wonder we won an award for the best adventure tour company.

Don’t worry you don’t need to be a pro – our trips are suitable for complete beginners and all of our gear and equipment is comfortable.

We will give you a wetsuit to wear or you can wear your own. Feel free to wear a rain jacket/pants or wind breaker or a thermal top/fleece over the wetsuit if you wish.
