Friendly, welcoming and beautiful
Such a great hike and tour. We learned so much about the history of Howth and its beauty. Speed was perfect and Zach constantly made sure everyone was doing well. Very friendly and welcoming local vibe. Highly recommended. Loki lived up to his name 😉
A perfect hike of Howth with unforgettable views!
A beautiful tour of Howth. Our guide, Deirdre, took us to the most breathtaking views of Howth that I could just stare at it for hours. We climbed up gorgeous hills, saw fascinating plants, and walked around an old church left from the Irish rebellions. We learned so much about Howth’s history that we will always keep. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature and a good hike up the hills.
Great Day Out
Was enjoyable & informative. Had a day to spare when visiting Dublin and took the train to Howth and joined the Coastal Hike Tour
An Authentic, 5-Star Local Experience with a Family Touch
If you want to experience the true beauty of Howth, look no further than this family-owned gem. As a 3rd-generation local, Zack brings a level of passion and knowledge you simply won't find on a commercial tour. We completed the full Cliff Loop, but instead of just following the standard crowds, Zack took us on specific alternative paths he’s discovered over a lifetime in the area. This allowed us to truly appreciate Howth’s Biosphere designation. We saw all the major landmarks, including the Baily Lighthouse, accompanied by fascinating historical insights and local stories. • Safety & Pace: Zack was incredibly mindful of the group’s abilities. The "slow and steady" approach made the more physical sections feel completely doable and safe. • Personal Touch: It never felt commercial. It felt like walking with a friend who deeply cares about the land and your well-being. • Loki the Dog: A massive shout-out to Loki! He is exceptionally well-trained, entertaining, and added a wonderful layer of fun to the hike. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an authentic, engaging, and safe way to see the Dublin coast.
Excellent tour
My family had a wonderful time on the tour. A lot of interesting sights that are not available to most tourists. Our guide. Sean, was delightful with a wealth of knowledge about the area.
