Brilliant, everyone must go if visiting Ireland - The views were amazing, we were lucky to experience hiking in rain and in the sun, it was really unique and beautiful. The guide was so friendly and smart! I didn’t notice how time passed. I was there with my mom and it wasn’t hard for her to complete the tour it is great as she hadn’t gone hiking before.

Beautiful hike in Howth - Rob was a phenomenal guide , we hiked approximately 6 - 7 miles over various terrain from flat to rocky areas with steps, we fortunately had beautiful weather, the views were spectacular. Suggestions: dress accordingly with good footwear. This hike isn’t for the faint of heart.

Breathe taking quick train ride to the start from Dublin. - Zack was a fantastic guide through Howth! We started the morning with fresh lattes and scones, then hiked along stunning ocean cliffs. A beautiful, memorable experience — a must-do when in Dublin!

Best tour in Howth - We happened to have a private tour so that means we got to know so much about Ireland. Shane is very knowledgeable and time flew by. The 10km hike is the best because you see a lot more. Highly recommend :) !

The BEST time!!! - It was so amazing to see so much of Howth in the company of such a genuine guide. I took this tour as part of my first solo trip and could not recommend it more. We got to see and learn about so many different aspects of the area!

A Memorable Outdoor Experience with Howth Adventures - We had a fantastic day hiking with Zack and his energetic Hungarian Vizsla, Loki. Our journey was a scenic six-mile round-trip, beginning and ending in the heart of the village. The hike took about three hours at a comfortable, steady pace, with a few moderately steep sections that added just the right amount of challenge. Zack was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about the area. He made plenty of time for photo stops and shared fascinating insights into the local history and landscape. It was especially inspiring to hear how his family-founded company, Howth Adventures, grew from a personal passion into a mission to share and protect the natural beauty of this stunning region. Highly recommended!
