Discover the hidden gem of Ireland's Eye on this tranquil ferry ride from Howth. Your journey begins at the West Pier, where you'll board a comfortable vessel for a 20-minute crossing over the Irish Sea. As you glide through the water, marvel at stunning views of Howth Head, Balscadden Bay, and Dublin Bay.
Once you arrive, step onto the uninhabited island and immerse yourself in its rugged beauty. Ireland's Eye is a nature reserve brimming with wildlife, including puffins, gannets, and playful seals. Wander the island’s trails to discover the historic Martello Tower, a relic from the early 19th century, and soak in panoramic views of the Irish coastline. For the adventurous, a swim in the clear waters of the west-facing beach offers a refreshing experience.
This tour is more than just a ferry ride—it’s a journey into Ireland’s natural and historical heritage. With live commentary on the island’s history, wildlife, and fascinating stories like the Kirwan murder, you’ll leave with memories that last a lifetime. Whether you’re a history buff, a birdwatcher, or simply seeking tranquility, Ireland's Eye is the perfect escape.

very good experience, it was very windy that day, but the boat driver was very good, I just didn't like that we didn't put on the life jackets, but they were under the seats.
Our Skipper Maggie created a magical and informative boat tour of the cliffs that will stand out as our whole family’s highlight of our trip to Ireland. Just the perfect mix for us of relaxation and education in a gorgeous setting at sea. Cheers, Maggie!
Fantastic experience using howth island ferries. Travelled to irelands eye 25 euro return absolute bargain. Breathtaking views and would go back again.
This experience was a highlight of our vacation! Our guide was great, discussed interesting facts and myths about the area, very interactive. Boat allows movable space without feeling crowded.
We had a very positive experience with Howth Cliff Cruises. They had to change our booking as with tidal conditions changing, the earliest drop on the island was to be the 14:20 sailing. The boat can take a lot of people comfortably. We disembarked onto a smaller boat as it was easier to go from this boat onto the island.
