What a cracking trip round the Island. Loads of birds to see and seals.
Even though the weather was murky it was still worth the trip.
Took on our son who is 4 and he was provided with a life jacket which is a great safety addition. And he loved the trip around.
Captain very knowledgeable on the island and wildlife.
Worth the money no matter on the weather.

Hi Raharrison,

The weather is part of the charm, and the wildlife is often more real when the conditions are a bit more private. Safety First, Visitor Experience is next, and we will improve every trip.

Is mise, le meas,

Lovely boat trip from Howth, out round Ireland's Eye with close views of five puffins and many other seabirds and a seal. Interesting commentary, beautiful views and fantastic to be out on the water. The skipper was knowledgeable and friendly and very safety-conscious. If anything we would have liked a longer trip!

Hi Shoregazer,

It was great to get out with you, the experience of nature is very powerful behind the island and it is the wise person who continues their visit to Howth with a voyage to see the edge of the Unesco Dublin Bay Biosphere, and history in the landscapes. Thanks for the fine review, it helps us make it better every time.

A fantastic Weather and a very interesting Boots Tour.
I have seen a lot on this Tour different Birds also Puffin.

After years of staring at Ireland’s Eye it was wonderful to see it up close and from all angles. Shane gave a wonderful account of the bird life on the island and the seals. Incredible looking Geology on the the north face of the island.
Well worth a trip.
