Traditional Irish Currachs

Step back in time and experience Dublin's waterways aboard one of Ireland's most iconic traditional vessels. Currachs have been part of Irish life for centuries, and this rare hands-on experience offers visitors the opportunity to paddle an authentic boat while learning about Ireland's rich maritime heritage. Guided by experienced instructors, you'll work together to navigate the River Liffey while enjoying unique views of Dublin's historic and modern waterfront. The experience combines culture, storytelling and adventure, creating memories and photo opportunities that few visitors to Dublin can enjoy. Departing from our modern watersports centre with changing facilities, showers and a waterfront café, it's a perfect blend of authentic Irish tradition and contemporary comfort. Whether you're a visitor seeking a genuine Irish experience or simply looking for something different, a currach tour offers a unique connection to Dublin, its river and its maritime past.
