Overview

The Howth Coastal Boat Tour with Ireland's Eye Ferries is a 50-minute trip departing from Howth Harbour, located about 40 minutes from Dublin City Centre. Passengers board small boats that carry intimate groups along the waterline of Howth Cliffs and around Ireland's Eye Island. The tour moves close to the cliffs and marine habitats of Ireland's East coast, providing opportunities to see a variety of seabirds such as gannets, guillemots, cormorants, kittiwakes, puffins, and sea gulls. The boat also passes near a large seal colony found in Howth Harbour and around Ireland's Eye. Throughout the trip, the skipper offers live commentary about the area, accompanied by local Irish music playing in the background. All fees and taxes are included in the ticket price, but snacks are not provided. After the boat tour, visitors may explore several seafood restaurants located along the pier independently.
