Pricey harbor boat ride

JULIE_W, Jun 2025

We did the one-way boat ride from Howth to Dun Laoghaire. The views were pretty but we were disappointed that there was no commentary (not even about safety precautions 😳). It was a sunny day, but high winds and high waves – so it was not a comfortable ride especially for anyone with sensitivity/motion sickness. Could use better signage on where to line up. Fortunately a friendly worker of another company told us what to do because our boat (nor any staff) was not there.

Beautiful

The boat was great. The sights were fantastic, and the information shared was good. The only thing was that it was very busy, so it was hard to always be able to get a spot to look at the view outside since you very much needed to either be sitting or holding onto a railing in order to not fall over. Loved the trip, though!
