Kayak Rental in Ireland?

Can you JUST rent a kayak for the day/couple of hours in Dublin? I have seen class listings, I just want to rent 2 for a day.

Is this for sea kayaking or um, inland? (if that's what its called)

Souperfreak · 13-04-2005 03:03PM

It would be inland or river. I don't want to do rapids or anything just want to play around for a few hours on a lake or river.

Well Tiglin do courses, but I don't know of a place you can just hire a kayak. There is a watersports center on the blessington lakes but I can't find a link for it, that's on a bus route from the city centre though so it should suit.

The 65 goes out to Blessington, Takes about an hour. The lakeside centre is to the south of the town, and about a mile east of the N81. Dont know if they have a website, google might help ye...?

The centre has moved to a different part of the lake now, not sure where exactly but not the Blesso area anymore.

I get this question alot and there is very few places that you can just rent a kayak for a couple of hours. Shops that sell kayaks normaly have one or two demo boats you can take away for a couple of days but these are mostly new playboats.

You can rent a kayak from Wind and Wave at Salthill/Seapoint in South Dublin, but only for a few hours. I've been looking for somewhere to rent by the day or week but no joy. Anyone have any new ideas?

Do you have kayaking experience?

Most places will bring you out but with out experience or assessments I think they are prob risking alot renting kayaks out to people.

Total Experience are the Blessington based kayak and adventure guys. Their number is 086 8724894. They may do rentals.

Dunno how that got through

, anyway Kayakingtours now banned from the forum.

If they other operators can respect the rules, there's no reason why they shouldn't have.

Ok well as someone who is in no way affiliated with "Wicklow Adventure Tours", I'm going to recommend them.

They get picked up by the search engines. The reason this particular thread has resurfaced is because somebody found it through a search engine and decided to get some free advertising.
