Wonderful Coastal Hike with best guide ever!
Jun 2022
This hike with our guide Paula was one of the highlights of our trip to Dublin! Paula was fun, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and athletic. She set just the right pace for the hike which was the perfect combination of a decent workout and amazing sight-seeing. In addition to all of that she is a great photographer, took pictures all along the way and created a wonderful video to remember our adventuresome day. Thank you Paula and Howth Adventures for this memorable day!

Beautiful Hike
Jun 2022
The tour was very beautiful and provided a wonderful overview of the city and coastline. The walk is definitely fast-paced with some steep climbs and uneven terrain. The guides were knowledgeable and happy to chat and make recommendations for where to eat locally.

Workout together with having breathtaking views
Jun 2022
I love everything about this coastal hiking tour. Conor, our tour guide was lovely and very friendly. The hike takes you in the woods and out to look over the breathtaking cliffs, facing the Ireland eye and Lambay Island behind. Get ready, and I recommend you have a good meal before you start the hike.

Spectacular Coastal Views
May 2022
My most incredible photos of Ireland were captured on this hike. Make no mistake its a HIKE and not a walk. From the quaint costal village to tangled woods, emerald cliffs and breathtaking cliff walking it is an experience that you will look back on as one of the best memories of your trip and so close to Dublin. The tour starts right in front of the metro station.

Fun and educational scenic experience
May 2022 • Solo
This was the highlight of my stay in Ireland!
I came here for work and was looking for a way to experience a bit more of Ireland than just the city center and learn a bit of Irish culture on my free day.

While I could have walked this hike myself, it was a much more fun and educational experience taking this tour with Connor (Conchobhar I Iearned in Irish) who will even sing some Irish tunes if you’re nice ;)

Not to mention the location is gorgeous. Easy bus or train ride from Dublin city center. (H3 bus or dart)

One of the best hiking tours I've been on!
May 2022
I would highly recommend this guided hiking tour around Howth, all thanks to Paula and Holly (the cutest doggo) for such an amazing time! It was an adventurous 3-hour hike that should be on one's itinerary when visiting Ireland or for anyone planning a day out with family/friends. Paula is a lively and superb tour guide! The incredible views from the coastal clifftops, the woodlands, the "secret garden", and so much more, along with all the local history and stories made the experience even more memorable!

Fantastic day out from Dublin
May 2022 • Family
Really awesome hike. Our guides took us through some woodlands, up to some fantastic views, and along a coastal cliff path. Well worth getting these guides, we would not have been Ble to find these routes without them. They are lively people who gave us some interesting local history and insights into the natural history of the area. Great value, I strongly recommend.

What an awesome tour
What an awesome tour, the best way ever to start the day! I've lived in Howth for 30+ years of my life and thought my knowledge of Howth was pretty good, how wrong was I. Shane is an excellent guide, he showed my brother and I places we've never seen before in Howth, and he told us some fantastic stories along the way. Admittedly I think this was the best walking tour I've ever been on and I would recommend it to anyone who's planning on visiting Howth.
