Overview

Join us in the most beautiful Dublin coastal village of Howth. Onboard our small boats we get up close to Ireland's Eye Island, caves and marine life in the world famous UNESCO Dublin Bay Biosphere. See the majestic Howth cliffs and harbour on our rustic boat trip, hearing about the famous history and insider tales of this incredible peninsula.

Our small and intimate group tours 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.
When you return to the harbour there are several seafood restaurants along the pier to enjoy, each one better than the other.
