Also, don't forget to try the café after swimming. I suggest the smoothies – they were refreshing and not too expensive. Just avoid the pastries, they weren't that great

I think arriving just before 10 AM is smart, as it gets quite busy later. You'll have more space to enjoy the slides and the wave pool.

I recommend checking their website for any special deals or family packages. We saved quite a bit with a weekend pass, which was a nice surprise.

My advice is to bring your own pool accessories like floaties or goggles. Rentals can be a bit pricy, and it's always nicer to use your own stuff.

I recommend booking your riding session in advance, especially on weekends. It's super popular and can fill up quickly! I almost missed out, but got lucky

Take a lesson even if you have some experience. The instructors at Surfdock were super helpful, and I picked up some new skills that made my time on the water way more fun!

If you're planning to rent gear, I suggest booking online in advance. It saved me time and I got a sweet discount! Plus, I avoided waiting in line when I arrived.

Check the wind and weather conditions before heading out. I went on a windy day and it was fantastic for kitesurfing, but I saw some people struggling because they didn't check.

My advice is to get there around 9 AM. The morning light is so pretty on the water and it feels less crowded, plus you'll have more time for a coffee before your lesson!

I recommend booking your session online in advance to save some cash – they often have deals if you book a few weeks ahead. I got a nice discount and it made the experience even sweeter!

i suggest packing a change of clothes. i ended up soaked after my session and didn't expect it at all. it's nice to freshen up before heading to explore dublin!

I suggest checking the schedule for swim classes before you go... I got there during a class, and it was super crowded! If you go around 11 AM on a weekday, it's way quieter and you can enjoy your swim much better
