Dublin’s Coastline by Paddle
Kayaking tours from Dublin explore the city’s coastline — Dalkey Island and Killiney Bay (the most popular route, with seal colonies on the island and dramatic coastal scenery), Howth and Ireland’s Eye (sea stacks, seabird colonies, and caves), and the calmer waters of Dublin Bay. Guided tours provide kayaks, equipment, safety instruction, and a guide who knows the marine wildlife, tides, and conditions. No prior kayaking experience is required for beginner-friendly tours.
