Things to do in Dublin, Province of Leinster: The Best Boat Tours & Water Sports

July 29, 2021 Hector Krause

You've probably heard that Guinness tastes better in Dublin (fresh from the factory), but what you may not know is that Dublin is a perfect destination for the whole family. No, we're not suggesting you let the kiddies drink a pint. Instead, take them to the Dublin Zoo, to feed the ducks in Stephen's Green or on a picnic in Phoenix Park. Scholars enjoy walking in the literary footsteps of such writers as Yeats and Joyce, while discerning shoppers have their pick of designer boutiques.

Wakedock

Wakedock is Ireland’s first cable wakeboard park, located in the heart of the Dublin Docklands area. Our System 2.0 is ideal for beginners to learn wakeboarding. We have five obstacles, 2 kickers, a slider, a rooftop rail and an incline ramp with a rail, which guarantee tons of fun for more advanced riders. Only one wakeboarder uses the cable at any time, which means that every session is a 1:1 with our qualified wakeboard instructors who are operating the cable. The speed can be adjusted to the riders abilities and after a fall, the cable is stopped and the handle brought back to the rider – there is no need to swim to the quayside or back to the start pontoon. Beginners welcome, we will teach you everything you need to know to get going on the board. We offer special rates for under 18s during off peak hours and run a kids club every Sunday morning from May to October. For intermediate and advanced riders over 18 we run a Club Night on Wednesday evenings and Sunday Jam sessions.
