  • Activity description

    Come see a different side of Dublin with Extreme Time Off, a canoe and kayaking company specializing in tours and quality equipment. Their team of professional instructors cater to groups of all shapes and sizes, beginners or total pros. You will have the option between a single or double kayak (2 people) for one or two hours.

    The Grand Canal was designed to connect Dublin, Ireland’s capital city, westwards through the midlands with the River Shannon. Construction began in 1757 and was completed as far as the River Shannon in 1804. It is a historic and important part of the city, what better way to experience it than to coast along its waters! 

    You will enjoy picturesque views... and meet some river dwellers! Whether it’s a team-building event, a birthday party, a class outing, work, or just a group of friends looking to get out and do something different, Extreme Time Off strives to satisfy all requirements! The more experienced kayakers looking to work on their technique are welcome! Want to make the most of your free time in Dublin? Kayaking on the Grand Canal is a beautiful and fun way to discover more of the city and get active!

    Was good. Just wish the weather was better. The people who were also kayaking could've been friendlier. I kayaked with my friend but we felt Irish just were cliquish and didn't seem to want to talk to us.

    It was a bit of a miserable day. But we only got rained on for the last 10 minutes. It was just lovely paddling along the canal. Nice and relaxing. My 10 and 12 yr old kids loved it. Would highly recommend. 2 men are very helpful and obliging
