Dublin: Amphibian City Tour

Hop aboard one of Dublin’s most iconic and unconventional sightseeing experiences—the Amphibian City Tour. This isn’t your average city tour; it’s an energetic journey through the heart of the capital aboard a unique vehicle that operates both on land and in water. With its vintage military-style design and vibrant character, the amphibious vehicle draws smiles as it rolls past historic buildings, cultural landmarks, and bustling streets before dramatically plunging into the River Liffey or Grand Canal Basin for the aquatic leg of your adventure.

Led by charismatic and humorous guides—often in costume and full of quick wit—you’ll be immersed in Dublin’s vibrant stories, from Viking invasions and medieval skirmishes to modern-day legends and lively city life. As you pass key attractions like Trinity College, Dublin Castle, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, and the Georgian Quarter, you’ll hear tales of the city’s colourful past brought vividly to life with theatrical flair and audience participation.

Then comes the highlight: the splashdown! As the amphibian leaves the road and glides into the water, passengers cheer and cameras flash. Suddenly, the perspective shifts. Dublin’s skyline rises from the riverbanks, and you enjoy a peaceful, scenic cruise from a vantage point few get to experience. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a local seeing the city anew, this dual-mode tour offers fun, insight, and just the right amount of theatricality.
