Great experience, highly recommend - I would highly recommend the cruise. It was a great experience and made even more enjoyable by the lovely staff. I can't fault it. Anyone who has dogs and would like to bring them along as we did feel free to do so. The cruise is dog friendly and the staff were very accommodating.

Ireland's coast from a fresh perspective. - Fantastic Experience on this 45 minute boat trip. Second time with these guys on the same trip, and both equally fun and completely different! Now one of my favourite things to do in Dublin on a sunny day off work. This time the sea was choppier, so we weren't as close to the island and cliffs but it made for an exhilarating ride. My sister, home from abroad, had the time of her life. Lovely crew, great scenery, birds, and a bit of historical context as well. Every passenger had a huge smile when disembarking. A great little boat trip. Can't wait for my next one!

10/10 - We had the best time! There was a group of 15 of us from age 3-65. We picked the perfect day weather wise. The captain was lovely and very friendly. The kids got to check out how to steer the boat. We sat up front and had a good laugh in the splash zone. We were lucky to get to see 2 adorable puffins having a swim. Will be back next year!

Trip around the island - We went on the 45 minute trip around the island & saw lots of seabirds, including puffins, kittiwakes, & fulmars. The whole experience was excellent, although quite pricy at €25 p.p.

Pretty impersonal, experience still worth it - Overall, we are glad to have experienced this boat tour and found it worth our time and a fair price. Was super interesting to see all the different sea birds up close. The downside of the experience was there was little to no interaction from the boat captain. There was one person standing near the dock on their phone and we eventually had to ask if he was with the boat. We were the only people on the boat and he only spoke to us one other time mid tour to tell us to move to the other side of the boat to see the view better. Based on the other reviews I expected more interaction, so if you’re also looking for something a bit more personal one of the other tours may be better suited. Still rating 4 stars since the tour was more or less like the description.
