Testimonials

An absolute must!!!

I visited as a solo paddler and was made feel extremely welcome. Jenny and the staff are among the most helpful, funny and welcoming people I have met. I learned loads while having fun and learning some little facts about Dublin and the area. A must for anyone coming to the area. I’ll be back!!

Water makes us Happy!

While a sign on the gate would have been helpful, we had no trouble locating where to go. It was the highlight of my 14 yr old granddaughter’s trip. Just beautiful, peaceful, and at 67 I had no trouble spending the morning kayaking. A terrific guide took great care of us, and we would definitely do this again. So worth every € you spend. And don’t forget to tip your guide.

Fantastic experience!

I can’t recommend this highly enough. Jenny and the team were so friendly and helpful. The trip out to Dalkey island is brilliant, you get to see lots of wildlife and the views are amazing. All the seals popping up to say hello beside the kayaks was a highlight! You don’t need to have any kayaking experience, lots of people doing it were first timers and had no problems. Great to do by yourself or with a group of friends.

Superb Experience!

I can’t believe I didn’t know about this before! The team is fantastic, welcoming and make you feel really comfortable. The instructions are on point and you feel secure all the time. I’ve never done kayak before but made it to the island and back in one piece! They provide everything you need and the experience of being in the sea and getting to the Dalkey Island is an amazing feeling! You can see a totally different view from Dalkey. You can see the birds and the seals as there are tons of them sweet and friendly. Love it! Jenny and her team are super professional and you can learn a lot about the history and environment as you paddle around. I really recommend it! I am coming back for sure!
