We have everything you will need. All equipment is provided for our rafting trips, including wetsuits, helmets, and PFDs. All you need to bring is a towel, something to wear underneath a wetsuit, and shoes that you won’t mind getting wet. We suggest an old pair of runners. Please note: we do not allow open-toe shoes.

You don’t need to be able to swim to go rafting, but being comfortable in the water will help you enjoy your trip.

Your feet will definitely get wet. After that, the only reason you’ll get wet is if you choose to jump into the water — or if there’s a mutiny on the ship!

Not at all — rafting is a very inclusive activity that everyone can take part in. It is a physical activity, so a moderate level of fitness is recommended. All our rafts are accompanied by a guide.

The River Liffey is a dam-controlled river, which means water levels can fluctuate based on dam releases and weather conditions.

In summer, flow rates are generally low, making for cruisy, comfortable rafting trips. In winter, flow rates are much higher — perfect conditions for adrenaline-inducing white water adventures.

Yes, we have changing rooms and showers available at the Canoe Centre.
