My husband and I completed the 3 hour coastal hike with Zach and Loki and had the best day. The views were absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend Howth Adventures!

We just completed a coastal hike with Sean. What a wonderful experience! Sean was so informative with history of Ireland and the scenery as we walked. The views were stunning and we would have never found these areas on our own. So happy about our choice to book!

I have been on 20+ hikes with Howth Adventures within the last 5 years. On my own, with my family and also with bringing danish people over to Howth. Every time I see and learn something new, the nature in Howth is magical and Shane always seem to find that very special energy to be seen, felt, observed in nature and Irish history. I can recommend everyone visiting Ireland to come to Howth and feel it.

I didn't know what to expect when booking this tour, but just wow! We had Sean as our tour guide and he is a lovely bloke. He knows a lot of interesting history. The way he tells stories really makes it all the more fun. He takes his time to talk to everyone personally, which really builds the connection along the way. And to not even begin about the view- This tour has unexpectedly been one of the biggest highlights of my whole trip. It really is worth it!

Good exercise, lovely views, and learned a bit about Irish culture. We had good weather (sun was even shining), so that was a bonus. I was traveling by myself, and this group excursion worked out well. Very glad I signed up for it. Leonie (our guide) did a terrific job! I did wish that it had started earlier in the day so that it could be a morning (eg, 10-1) or afternoon (eg, 1-4) activity, rather than midday activity.

Fantastic hike with great views! Zack was an amazing tour guide that immediately learned everyone’s names and talked with everyone during the hike to learn a little bit about each of us. He also checked in with us multiple times during the hike to make sure we were doing ok throughout the hike, & shared history of the area during the hike.

It was an amazing time and experience hiking with our guide Zach! Due to weather at the time the others had cancelled and we almost did too but thankfully we didn’t. It turned out to be perfect, when we got to the top and was overlooking Howth the view was incredible. During the hike there was still parts were it raining and windy but Zach had every route memorized to make sure we had the cover that we needed. It was all worth the price that we paid too. Overall it was about a 8km hike and not only was the view from the top incredible but also the cliffs and the rare beautiful flowers the were starting the bloom was awesome to see! Zach is also very knowledgeable about the area that we hiked. 10/10🙌🏼

We had a great time hiking with Zack and Loki, despite a fine Irish rain that joined us for the day. They met us in town with a smile and lots of energy. Zack weaved through tales of Irish history as we traversed through the fields and woods of the Howth peninsula. Loki reveled in the opportunity to be outside, often stopping voluntarily to pose for a photo with us. We highly recommend both Zack and Loki for this adventure, which ended with us enjoying a much needed hot lunch in front of the fireplace at the Abby Tavern. The clouds dampened our views, but not the fun we had on the hike!
