We 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...

If 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

Brilliant 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
Hidden treasure of a cruise. Taking the time to stop the boat so we could take up close pictures was the highlight.❤️

Definitely a hidden treasure, especially the ship master taking the time to stop the boat so we could take pictures of the hidden caves
Glad we did it but…

The amount of time was right. The captain was knowledgeable, but spoke fast. We were not able to hear/understand the recorded information provided through the speakers. I’m glad we sat in the back (even though we were by the diesel engines) because our sight lines were better. For me, any time on the water is a good time.
Really enjoyed it!

Simply lovely. Booked just 2 hours ago seeing the weather and it was totally worth it. Nice 1 hour cruise with great views. It's a nice way to end the day.
One of the trips you must take!

Really great and so beautiful trip on the sea. This should be in your "must see" list. It was easy to take the train from Dublin to get there (tickets with Leap card). It was really cold and windy out on the sea, recommending to take warm jacket with hood or warm hat with you. Recommending 100%
