Don't miss this trip - Just the best tour I've done in ages. An absolute must do. Crew are so knowledgeable and helpful. Definitely a must to do when in Dublin and great value. Looking forward to my next trip to see Muglins.

The perfect day trip in Dublin - As a birthday present four of us took the boat from Dun Laoghaire to Howth. We had a lovely cliff walk then food in Wright's and a few pints in the Bloody Stream then the Dart home. A birthday present full of memories. A perfect day.

Short, not too close : perfect - Departed on time, slowly through the port to the sea. Lots of interesting facts from the guide. Dalkey Island can only be seen sus the distance, but the story about the island is still well told. Plus some excursion tips. The ship is well equipped with toilet, bar etc Highly recommended:-)

Dublin to Howth boat trip - Excellent boat trip. Very informative and the young woman on the mic was great. She was able to answer our questions. Always had a smile even if the weather was not as good as hoped.

Great Day Out - Had a great trip from Dun Laoire to Howth. Highly recommend this company. Staff are all lovely. My daughter won our trip in an online father's day competition in 2023 and they had no problem honouring the prize. Thanks a million

Nice way to celebrate a birthday by adding in a lunch and walk in Howth - Taking the boat ride is a nice way to see the coastline of Dun Laoghaire, cliffs of Howth and Ireland’s Eye up close. You do not really see Dublin city coastline as you are far out in the Bay. The continuous information being provided by a guide up top could not be heard distinctly around the boat, unfortunately it was just a constant noise, so it would be great if this could be improved especially for international passengers. It’s a great idea if celebrating an event, to have lunch and a walk in Howth and back home on DART.

Beautiful boat trip - The view was great! The waves were a bit choppy and when you went outside it was quite windy. We went on a sunny day, which made it very pleasant. Our tour guide wasn’t great. He didn’t give much information and it was very boring and vague. Minibar was nice and not too expensive.

Yuk - Stupid! a cramped boat, no scenery and Howith not worth seeing as a tourist. I was very disappointed. Then the train back to Dublin center was delayed. We called Uber. I expected some narration. It was there but hard to hear. I do not recommend this trip. We had to take Dart to get to the pier.

Rude Gabi staff, terrible organised, lack of client support - I work in a day centre for people with disabilities, doing this trip was a goal for one of my clients. She was so exited but the man Gabi in the entrance was so rude, it soiled the trip to us, they are not organised they, there is no client support, I had called the office 5 days before the trip to check if all the tickets was correct, she confirmed to me that it was all right, when we got to the trip the man almost didn’t let us on, he wanted listen to me, he said he have nothing to do what the people from the office said, he shout on me being very rude on front of everybody, terrible experience and for the price I do not recommend.
