Safety and Information
This is very much a ‘dry’ water activity and no wetsuit is required to participate. However, as it is still a boat on the water we always expect the unexpected.
We comply with the Dept. of Marine Code of Practice for the safe operation of recreational craft. Life jackets are provided for all participants: Solid foam for younger paddlers and automatically inflated life jackets for those a little older in the flesh if not in the mind!
Strictly no alcohol to be consumed
Our experiences are off the beaten track in an amazing part of the Boyne Valley in Co. Meath just 40 mins from Dublin. The birthplace of Ireland’s Ancient East.
