We loved it :) - The guide was great 😃 interesting facts and a nice view from the boat. We got off in Dun Laoghaire and really loved that town. The guide also gave us great tips on places we definitely will be visiting.

From Dublin City to Dun Loghire on a boat! - The trip was very well organized. There was also a guide who gave some information on the landmarks that we saw during our trip. The only problem was that even though the day turned out to be sunny, the morning was quite foggy and we could not see some of the landmarks.

Lovely way to travel the coast - It was great to have a guide on the boat to share information about what we were seeing. Being on the water and seeing the coastline was a great way to start our trip to Dun Laoghaire The young guide was interesting, fun and well informed. We would do this again, so we highly recommend this activity n

Bay trip to Dun Laoghaire. - Great trip. Guide gave information on departure, pointing out places of interest along the Liffey. Completely different way of seeing the city! Choppy out on the bay....but this isn't a lake cruise.

One hour boat trip from Dublin - This was an enjoyable tour. The boat arrived on time and boarding was easy. The seating is good. The tour has live commentary which I felt could have been clearer as the mic was not clear enough. The windows were a bit difficult to take photos through as they had residual dried water stains, which was a pity. I enjoyed the tour even though it was an overcast day. I'd definitely consider booking another tour sometime.

Interesting trip from Dublin' s dockyards out to the sea and to Dun Laoghaire- a good alternative to trips within Dublin - Very interesting trip to give a different view of Dublin, it's docks and the outlying islands and towns. Amusing commentary by a Father Dougal( think Father Ted!) type of character! Shame it was a cloudy day.

Boring - The boat ride was long and boring. No narration. Did not know what we were looking at. Hard to find the starting location. It would have been better to take the transfer to town from the cruise ship.
