The best way to see... - The best way to see Ireland's Eye and have the best view of the harbour. Try to get one around sunset, you can't beat it.

Off Shore Cruise of the Eye. - Great experience, beautiful coastal view. Captain gave safety instructions and information about the Eye Island. It was too rough to go out into the open water but he took us along the inside of the island.

Worth it! Cute little boat tour - Very nice little boat tour once around the small island and something along the coast. Those expecting the very big highlight are wrong on the tour. But the tour keeps what it promises and is just a nice trip! Worth it!

The guide was very professional and steered the boat safely through the sometimes very unsettled sea. Thanks for an unforgettable day in the most beautiful fishing villages in Ireland 😊

Not very professional - I did not feel that safety was a priority on this tour. Our captain was a very young man who handed over the steering wheel to a group of students. The captain drove the boat into open water and let the students drive the boat in circles. The rest of us had to sit it out while the kids larked about driving the boat, whooping and hollering. The 20 minute circuit of Ireland's Eye was fine, with a short recorded commentary about the Martello tower and the birdlife on the island, but we were not given an opportunity to view the Howth cliffs.
