An unforgettable experience with Howth Adventures!

Our experience with Howth Adventures exceeded all of our expectations. The day started with a lovely breakfast before we set off on an incredibly beautiful hike along the stunning Howth coastline. Our guide, Shane, was knowledgeable, friendly, and so encouraging throughout the day. He is truly an amazing person and made the experience even more special. Having Loki, the wonderful dog, join us on the hike was so lovely and made the day even more memorable. The scenery in Howth is absolutely breathtaking and definitely worth a visit. This hike became one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Dublin, and it’s an experience we’ll remember for a long time. We highly recommend Howth Adventures to anyone visiting Dublin, and we’ll definitely be recommending it to all of our friends. Warm regards, Elise & Julia from Sweden

Amazing hike with spectacular views!

This hike was absolutely fantastic! Zach was an incredible guide—extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about the area. He made the entire experience fun, informative, and memorable. Locke was an added bonus and such a treat to have along! The views were absolutely breathtaking and made every step worth it. I highly recommend this hike to anyone looking for an amazing outdoor adventure. I wouldn’t recommend it for children under 10. Be sure to bring plenty of water and snacks, and get ready for an unforgettable experience!

Howth Coastal Hike

9 of us went on a tour with Sean this morning. Everyone loved it and we learnt so much on the hike. I have previously taken groups with Paul and Zach. They are all fabulous guides and great to get out of Dublin City and see what else there is to explore.

1000/10

This was the best guided hike I have been on. You definitely want to be on the fit side as we did about 7 miles and parts were steep. Guide was friendly and quite knowledgeable about a wide variety of things. He told wonderful stories! I would do this hike again.
