Description
Climb aboard a Katakanu and paddle the River Liffey as a team on a relaxed, social session designed for mixed ages and abilities. These large, stable, multi-seat paddle boats are easy to steer, so beginners can focus on the fun, the views, and working together on the water. Start by meeting your qualified instructor for a brief welcome and safety overview. Get fitted with your safety equipment, then learn simple paddling and steering techniques before launching. Once on the river, settle into an easy rhythm with your group as you cruise along the Liffey, chatting as you go and spotting the city from a different angle. Your instructor stays close by to give tips, help the crew coordinate, and keep everything running smoothly. After 1–2 hours on the water (depending on the session you choose), paddle back to the starting point to return your equipment. Finish with access to the changing facilities, and if you feel like extending the outing, drop into the on-site café after your session.Includes
