Dublin City to Howth ( via Dun Laoghaire)
On this cruise you will set sail from Dublin City Centre to the south of Dublin Bay then on to the gorgeous Dun Laoghaire harbour. From there you will be on course for the traditional fishing village known as Howth. Howth is known for it’s delicious fish restaurants and stunning walks around Howth Head.
On the voyage you will be see parts of Dublin that you would not be able to see if you were on land including; the Convention Centre, Eastlink Bridge, Docklands and Dublin Port, Poolbeg Lighthouse and the wildlife reserve Bull Island, Baily and Kish lighthouses.
Can also see Howth Head, Lambay Island, Ireland Eye and Howth Harbour where there are many seals swimming at the harbour.
Making the Most of Dublin Bay Cruises to Howth
Dublin Bay Cruises to Howth are a one way trip, which leaves you free to spend the afternoon exploring once you step ashore. Howth is famous for its fish restaurants, so it is a grand spot for lunch, and the walks around Howth Head offer some of the best sea views in County Dublin. Keep an eye out for the seals in Howth Harbour as you come in.
The sailing takes about 2 hours 30 minutes via Dun Laoghaire, so bring a warm layer even in summer, as it can be breezy out on the bay. If you fancy stretching your legs after Dublin Bay Cruises to Howth, the Hidden Howth coastal hike and pints tour takes you along the cliff paths with a local guide. Book ahead on sunny weekends.
