    This trip was well worth it and a great easy and quick thing to do before taking off back to North America in the afternoon. We saw wonderful birds including gannets & Kittiewakes and lots of beautiful seals. They kept our luggage safely at the dock while we did the quick 40 minute tour. Best 40 minutes of birdwatching we’ve ever had! Afterwards we had time for a quick Uber to bull island where we saw greenshanks, redshanks, godwits, sandpipers, oystercatchers and plovers.

    Smooth journey and some brilliant views. We were lucky with the weather and couldn’t have asked for a better day and great for the price! We saw some seals and all sorts of bird life. We got off on the eye and had an hours walks and went back to explore Howth. I’d recommend getting the dart to Howth as it’s quick and easy and cheap :)

    Lovely smooth trip around the island and were able to land on the island. Despite the rain we were covered and able to enjoy the sights. The commentary was enough to appreciate the wildlife. Crew were very helpful and patient with people getting on and off safely A very enjoyable experience.

We were able to bring our dog too and the captain let us have a turn at driving the boat. Would highly recommend this tour
