Great for a group of friends! - My friends and I had such a great experience. We went to Howth for the day. This tour was the perfect opportunity to see everything! We saw sea lions and lots of birds. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. He even let us go to the front of the boat to great pictures, and pointed out the wildlife on the island. We would definitely do this boat tour again if we are ever in Howth! The price of the tour was very reasonable for the experience we got.

Pot o gold - We decided to head out of Dublin to Howth for the afternoon and were able to purchase last minute tickets. Just as we departed the pier it started raining fairly heavily. Our wonderful captain, Ollie, adjusted the itinerary to better protect the passengers. We stayed close to shore and went past a lighthouse. As we were returning, the sun came out and we were treated to a full rainbow. As a result of the weather change, Ollie took us for a little extra trip around the Irish Eye island. He was absolutely the quintessential seasoned Irish boat captain and made our trip one to remember.

A boat trip to remember. - The boat tour was FAB! A trip I won't forget. I was the only person on the tour..... I think the cold, windy weather kept others away! Their lost, as it was great fun! The water was choppy, but I was brave and stood at the front of the boat!!! WOW, what a up and down journey on the water! The views were amazing and when we got back into the bay.... two seals! Oli was a JOY sailing the boat with amazing Irish chat. Thank you. I will definitely do this tour again when I am back in Dublin.

February visit - The team on the boat were very welcoming and the trip lasted around 45 minutes. The scenery was rugged and spectacular and the sea was a beautiful green. At this time of year the water was choppy and the wind was strong so make sure you wrap up well. The boat was small but comfortable and it slowed right down so you can really get up close to the surrounding nature. Great trip and we'll worth it
