Full description

This cruise leaves from Howth and follows the rugged shoreline of Dublin Bay, taking in the cliffs, the lighthouse and the surrounding waters from sea level. The captain talks through local landmarks and wildlife, and the route gives chances to photograph seabirds and seals, though sightings vary with weather and season.

Reviewers describe a relaxed trip on a small, older cutter with a friendly crew, which gives it a more personal feel than larger tour boats. The scenery makes it a natural choice for couples and photographers wanting a calm outing on the water.
