Description

Discover the charm of Ireland’s Eye with a scenic ferry ride from Howth Harbor in Dublin. Step aboard a family-run ferry service, steeped in tradition since 1947, and let your captain share the legacy and beauty of this beloved Irish experience.

As you glide across the Irish Sea, soak in breathtaking views of the rugged coastline and dramatic Howth Head cliffs. The short journey offers a tranquil escape, giving you a fresh perspective on Dublin’s picturesque surroundings.

Arriving at Ireland’s Eye, weather permitting, able-bodied guests can disembark via steep stone steps, carved directly into the rock. Explore the island’s wild landscapes, admire the historic Martello tower, and enjoy sweeping vistas of the mainland.

Nature lovers will delight in spotting puffins, gannets, and cormorants on this protected bird sanctuary. If you’re feeling adventurous, take a refreshing swim from the island’s west-facing beach before returning to Howth Harbor at your leisure.

This ferry experience lasts around 1.5 hours and is available in English for groups of up to 15 people. Boats return every hour, allowing you to tailor your visit. Book your spot now to secure an unforgettable escape to Ireland’s Eye!
