Dublin: Howth Coastal Boat Tour
Cruise along the Howth Head cliffs and around Ireland's Eye island on a small-group boat tour from Howth harbour. Spot seals, seabirds, and the Baily Lighthouse from the water.
Dublin was made for cycling. The city is flat, compact, and full of surprises around every corner. This 2.5-hour guided tour covers more ground than you could manage on foot in an entire day, with a fully licensed Failte Ireland guide calling out the stories, the scandals, and the hidden gems as you ride.
The route starts near St Stephen’s Green and winds through the heart of the city - along the canals, across the Liffey, through the grand Georgian squares with their 18th-century townhouses, past Norman-era Dublin Castle and the medieval cathedrals, and into the cobbled streets around Temple Bar. Your guide connects the dots between Dublin’s literary giants, its revolutionary history, and its thriving contemporary culture. You will hear about the writers, the painters, the poets, and the characters who made Dublin what it is - and you will be shown where they drank, fought, and fell in love.
The pace is easy and the route sticks to quieter streets and cycle lanes. If time allows, there might even be a stop at one of the traditional pubs your guide points out along the way. With 350 reviews and a 4.7-star rating, this is one of the highest-rated activity tours in Dublin.
