5.00What a beautiful day it was in Howth. This cruise was really fun. Even got a chance to learn how to ride a boat from the captain. Must do it while in Dublin.
Lovely experience!

5.00This was an incredible trip, the view was great and the rock formations on the island were incredible to see up close! I’ve gone twice and both times we got to see seals quite up close! This is a great trip for sightseeing, they play music and take you around the island, it’s not a guided tour but a very good place for pictures and a relaxing boat ride. The captain was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area, I definitely think it is well worth the price (they also have a student discount)
Excellent tour

5.00We went on this cruise this evening and I must say it was so enjoyable. Ollie our Captain was amazing. He took my 10 year old son in and let him steal the boat from Irelands eye right back to the harbour. My son now wants to be a sailor. We had a beautiful evening and learnt lots about boats too. Thanks so much I couldn't recommend this tour any more highly
To end a day on a high...

5.00If you find yourself in the town of Howth, about as North of Dublin as can be, you might be tempted to go watch the sunset from one of the many cliffs, this coastal city has to offer, that was my original plan as well. I walked around the cliffs for the whole day, but i can guarantee you, this short boat trip gave me better views of the sunset than any cliff ever could. If you find yourself in the town of Howth, and you want to see a postcard worthy sunset, this is the way to go.
Fantastic short trip

5.00Brilliant trip! One hour to go out and around ireland's eye island. Saw some amazing bird life up close. Tour was smooth and no issues. Excellent service. We forgot our bag on the boat and the captain came back immediately and got it for us. Solid 5 star service
