Viking Splash Tours

Viking Splash Tour

Viking Splash Tours is a city tour with a difference! The mode of transport is an amphibious World War II landing craft, allowing you to view the city from both land and water. Irreverent costumed Viking tour guides will lead you through the streets of Dublin, teaching you to roar like Vikings at passers by! Sights along the way include Dublin's two famous City Cathedrals, Saint Patrick's and Christchurch, Viking Dublin, Trinity College, Government Buildings (Leinster House) and Georgian Dublin. The highlight of the tour is the ‘Splashdown' into the water at the newly developed Grand Canal Dock. During the trip on the water you will see the recording studios of famous Dublin rock band U2.

The Viking Splash is suitable for all, adults and children alike. It departs from St Stephens Green daily. For information on tickets log onto www.vikingsplash.ie

Docklands Fact

A downtrodden Leprosy hospice was located on Misery hill, hence its name! It was believed lepers were “the unclean” and would be walked to the hospice on Misery Hill with 1 man tolling a bell and another carrying a 40 foot pole to keep everyone at safe distance. Today this is where we get the expression “I wouldn’t touch him with a 40 foot pole!”
