Extreme Time-off

Rent a boat or kayak and set off down the Grand Canal. You can opt to take the 5.5 km route to Inchicore taking in some of Dublin's sights along the way. Alternatively you can make your way along the canal from Lucan to Clondalkin. Either way, you will be guaranteed a day to remember.

Extreme Time-off also offers full diving suits, gator wake boards, typhoon lake snakes, water skis and inflatable tubes to rent. They also organise sea kayaking trips around Howth or Greystones, or from Killiney to Dalkey Island.

Advance booking is essential. Minimum of six people for tours and for rentals at least two people, maximum is 30 people. Minimum age for rentals is 10 yrs.

Once a month, take your child out on the Grand Canal. The trip is in stable doubles and you will be with the tide both ways. Have an action-packed morning with fantastic views of the river. Space is limited to an adult and one child per booking. To encourage families to spend quality time together, there is no cost for your child. Children must be six years old and over to take part.
