Kayaking the 'River of Life' in Ireland | Condé Nast Traveler
"A private stretch of the Liffey runs through the The K Club Hotel & Resort, a 550-acre golf resort that in 1997 hosted the prestigious Ryder’s Cup tournament. Recently, the hotel began offering kayaking excursions for guests, and tours begin on the hotel grounds, at the bottom of a sloping lawn with marble statues and towering oak trees. Though the river extends from here all the way to Dublin, that distance would have been beyond my ability, so my instructor and I tackled a condensed seven-and-a-half-mile stretch of the Liffey, finishing up near Leixlip village."
