What to expect

Cruise the coast from the most beautiful Dublin coastal village of Howth on a short rustic boat trip around Ireland's Eye! You'll experience amazing wildlife, birds, panoramic views, and marine habitats.

Your small and intimate group tours will leave the Harbour behind on a voyage of discovery spotting the seasonal sea life along the way, puffins, seals, gannets and guillemots to name a few. Onboard the small boats you'll be able to get up close to the world famous UNESCO designated Dublin Bay Biosphere, Ireland's Eye Island, caves and marine life. There you'll see the famous Howth cliffs and village on our rustic and authentic boat trip, and hear about the famous history and insider tales of this incredible peninsula.

Nature will take centre stage as you'll explore the nooks and crannies along the islands waterline, getting up close and personal with the mesmerising nature and wild creatures. This is a Nature Reserve protected by EU habitats and the core zone of the UN Dublin Bay Biosphere. The most spectacular natural feature, however, will be the huge freestanding rock called “the Stack”. Located at the northeastern corner of the island, it plays host to a large variety of seabirds. There is nothing quite like the experience of the sea from a purpose built boat with a friendly, salty and expert skipper.
