Description

Take an exhilarating kayak tour along the coast of Ireland and discover with your guide the many centuries of architectural history that dot the landscape. Enjoy coffee, tea, and refreshments along the way, with all equipment included.

First, get acquainted with your kayak and undergo a brief safety instruction from your guide. Get your wet suit, lifejacket, and gear on and climb into the boat. Head off into the sea, and watch as the Martello Tower comes into view.

Then, as you pass the 19th-century coastal resorts, stop to watch the sea birds alongside you, including cormorants, seagulls, and terns on the cliffs. Glide past seals and continue your kayaking to the Baily Lighthouse.

Finally, learn about the history of the lighthouse outside Dublin Bay, from the Vikings’ era to today. Stop at a small beach area for refreshments, then kayak back to the starting point.
