A lovely experience!

A lovely experience to do whilst in Dublin! Very relaxing and enjoyable. Connor, our guide, was very informative and gave us loads of facts that we didn’t know! Very interesting! He even did some Irish singing which was amazing! It was a 45 minute boat trip which was a perfect amount of time to see and hear about everything Dublin has to offer. Would 100% recommend.

A pleasant informative cruise on the Liffey

Our guide Pat and Captain Terry were friendly and Pat gave a very informative talk on Dublins history for nearly the whole 45 minutes trip.

Highly recommended boat cruise

We enjoyed this boat cruise very much and highly recommend it. The boat is very spacious, feels safe and has comfortable seating. It is completely enclosed so you don't need to worry about the weather. The crew was awesome, the tour guide was very knowledgeable and full of humor. This is a tour that I would try and book towards the beginning of your time in Dublin so that you can orient yourself to the city.
