No. 1 thing to do in Dublin - Loved it Loved that it wasn't raining Don't know how this company managed that! Very informative and worth the money Lots of fresh fish along the pier and quirky food houses

Puffins, oh my! - Wonderful! The absolute best hour of your time near Dublin. The Eye of Ireland is a birders paradise, and we were so fortunate to see puffins, guillemots, gannets… We were very tempted to rebook a second round back to back! Highly recommend!

Brilliant trip - Absolutely gorgeous trip with captain Noel at the helm. He gave great local information and let me steer the boat for a bit. I highly recommend this for both locals like us and tourists.

Relaxing tour of coast of Howth. - Very nice experience to view the west coast cliffs in this quaint fishing village. Just the right length of time on the water and knowledgeable narrative to accompany the ride. Boat operators were friendly and knowledgeable as well.

Great for kids - Great experience. We were on the right side of the boat and you didn’t get as much of an up close view as the left side of the boat did but overall it was great! Amazing staff and loved the view from the water. Would Recommend!

Horrible staff - My partner and I travelled up from wexford to howth to gp to irelands eye which was a beautiful day but as for howth cliff cruises, I've never in my 44 years met pig ignorant people so rude from the lads on the docks to the lads on the boat. Rude people and there's no excuse for i. They talk to paying customers like dirt. Ill never use howth cliff cruises again.
