Very disorganized. The...

Lisa_M, Jul 2026

Very disorganized. The excursion itself was ok and the lunch that was included was fantastic. But Viator listed the wrong meeting place and it took an extra hour to figure that out. The tour operator gave very poor meeting instructions. There was no live guide on the boat tour, just a recording.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

The tour was amazing!

Tiffany_G, Jul 2026

I loved this tour! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and flexible with time. I showed up an hour earlier and they accommodated by putting me on an earlier tour. The tour was the perfect amount of time for people who do not want to spend all day at sea. The restaurant that’s included after the tour was amazing! Friendly staff and the food was top tier.

Response from Host, Jul 2026

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your cruise and the crew could accommodate your change in schedule. We will be sure to let Wrights know that you also enjoyed their cuisine. We look forward to welcoming you onboard again in the future! Regards, Howth Cliff Cruises.

Bloody Stream Restaurant is a “Must Do” in Howth, Ireland

Christine_M, Jun 2026

The dinner at the Bloody Stream was fabulous. The food was delicious; there was a fireplace; the staff were great! The staff on the boat were not aware of dinner and cruise option as most of the passengers were on the boat for the cruise option only. We were with an elderly person who had difficulty walking from boat to restaurant. It would have been helpful to have a car service bring her to restaurant after cruise.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thanks for the review, we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food and the boat trip. Apologies that you felt the distance between the restaurant and the pontoon affected the experience so much, we will take your feedback on board

Our experience with...

Charles_K, Jun 2026

Our experience with Viator and the vendor was really confusing. The app listed the wrong meeting place so we had to reach out to find out where to be. The tour was fine although we didn’t realize the guided aspect would be prerecorded. Lastly, we purchased a tour and dinner combo but we had to figure how the dinner worked for ourselves. No one told us where to go or how it worked.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Dear Customer, We appreciate you taking your time to provide your honest feedback regarding information provided by Viator & ourselves on our products. We will review this directly with the agent and staff, to ensure clear and concise information is available for all cruises.

Kind regards, Howth Cliff Cruises Customer team.

Good boat tour with amazing dinner

Emily_I, May 2026

Great boat trip with multiple bird viewing areas. Food in the bloody stream after was great. Food is received by showing the pub the ticket.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thanks Emily, delighted to hear you enjoyed both the boat trip and your meal in the Bloody Stream!

Coastal tour

Mary_F, Jun 2024

I have mixed reviews about this tour. First, I did make reservations for this tour well ahead of time so that may have lead to some of the difficulty. I had my voucher on my Viator app so wasn't completely a problem but neither the boat nor the restaurant had my name on the list. The boat was very helpful and we were able to get on quickly. The ride, although not narrated, was beautiful and the staff on board was available for any questions. The restaurant was a little reluctant to accommodate us but once I showed them the voucher and email confirmation, they did seat us. The meal was good although a lot of food. Howth was lovely and I would recommend but make sure you do have your confirmations.

Not what we expected

Brian_M, Jun 2024

This trip was disappointing because the description was a little misleading. We thought it was a dinner cruise. It is not, and it is a very small boat, open boat. There was no orientation on the boat and the speaker system was inaudible.
