Cruise around Ireland's Eye on this Howth boat tour, leaving daily from the Howth waterfront. Watch for seabirds beneath the cliffs and listen to the captain's commentary as the island and Balscaden Bay slide past.
Full description
This sailing from Howth runs along the coast and around Ireland's Eye, with the captain narrating the cliffs, Balscaden Bay and the seabirds and marine wildlife you may see. The ticket covers the boat cruise only: the boat does not land on the island, which requires a separate ferry ticket.
Reviewers highlight knowledgeable, entertaining guides and good value, and one notes it was cold in February, so the experience is distinctly weather-dependent. It is an easy, low-effort outing for couples and families who want sea views and wildlife without hiking.
