"Rising in the Wicklow Mountains and running straight through the heart of Dublin, the River Liffey was once known as An Ruirthech which translates, loosely, as 'the Stampeding One' on account of its sudden and fast-flowing floods. Thankfully it's a lot gentler now and the perfect way to explore it in detail is on this relaxing kayaking adventure. Covering about 4km, you’ll blade your way from Dublin City Moorings, under the pretty O’Connell and Ha’penny bridges and through to the city centre. With local guides on hand to reveal the river's secrets, this is an easy and entertaining option open to all. There are even safety boats available for towing if you get tired. We won't tell a soul..."
