The Viking Roar in Dublin City

You would often be walking around Dublin City and in the midst of no where you would hear a roar. This would not just be any roar, a Viking roar to be more precise. Turning around to investigate further you would be presented with one of these, the Viking Splash Tour bus.

Filled with a mixture of children and parents mostly, all Vikings on the tour wear a Viking hat. They also roar when requested by the driver! This tour looks like great fun, but because I'm a local and its on my doorstep I have never been. One day I will pluck up the courage to go and might even bring the wife with me. They also cater for large groups, including stag and hen and also birthday parties.

The tours leave from St. Stephens Green and go around the main sights of Dublin City, passing St. Patricks Cathedral, Trinity College and also Christchurch Cathedral. One of the exciting things about this tour is that you also get to travel on water and the vehicles go to Grand Canal Harbour to do this! This is the part I look forward to.

The vehicles that are used are called DUKWS and were used in the war to transport soldiers and weapons. You are going to experience a piece of history while seeing all the main sights in Dublin city.
