Description
Dublin City Kayaking for Schools
Dublin City Kayaking for Schools gives students a guided view of the city from the water. During this two-hour activity, your class paddles past city bridges and landmarks. The group then returns to the launch base.
How does the school kayaking tour work?
The launch base sits beside the Jeanie Johnston Tall Ship, between the Samuel Beckett Bridge and the Seán O’Casey pedestrian bridge. From here, students paddle towards the heart of Dublin with a guide.
Along the way, the group sees familiar landmarks from a different angle. The relaxed tour gives students time to explore together and share an experience outside the classroom. You can leave belongings at the base during the trip.
What is included?
- Venue sourcing and event planning
- A two-hour activity programme and guided tour
- Buoyancy aid, paddle and kayak
- A stable sit-on-top kayak suited to beginners
What should students bring?
Bring a towel and clothes and footwear that can get wet. For summer paddling, shorts or leggings are suitable. In colder weather, bring warmer trousers, layers, a fleece, a hat and gloves. Always dress for the weather.
There are no changing facilities on site. The nearest public toilets are in the CHQ building across the road, so include time for these arrangements in your class schedule.
Which services cost extra?
Food and beverages cost extra. However, we can help organise these through the chosen venue. Transport to and from the venue is also separate, and we can help arrange it.
Plan Dublin City Kayaking for Schools
First, decide your preferred date and student numbers. Then contact Event Square to discuss the class, meeting arrangements and participation requirements. Confirm what students need to bring before the visit.
Teachers can also browse our group experiences when comparing activities for a school outing. This helps you choose a programme that fits your timetable and group.
