Dublin city is only minutes away from both the Irish countryside and coast. Dublin is situated on the water and you can take advantage of this for fishing, or to participate in more active water sports. Surfing, windsurfing, water-skiing, scuba diving and canoeing are all possible options along the Dublin coast and in Dublin Bay itself. If you prefer to stay on dry land, why not head south to the beautiful Wicklow mountains for hikes in the Irish countryside or play a round of golf at one of the numerous courses around Dublin. Alternatively, cycle in the city or mountains, or head out along the paths around Dublin Bay. For more information on tours in and around Dublin and to make a booking, please go to the Tours page on this website.


For those interested in more leisurely pursuits, Dublin offers wonderful shopping including an array of products from traditional Irish handmade crafts to international (and Irish!) designer labels. Grafton Street, a pedestrian street to the south of the River Liffey, is the place to promenade and window shop, with a fine selection of the international designer stores that underline Dublin’s cosmopolitan atmosphere
