Brilliant experience with our guide and captain Eamon on a half-day trip to Lambay Island.It really is such a special place to visit, with wonderful scenery, and a real sense of isolation. Eamon has colletced years of stories and intrigues about the characters (human and otherwise) who have lived and died on the island over the centuries. Highly recommend this trip.

I had an unforgettable experience visiting Lambay Island through fish and trips.ie . Eamonn was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the island’s history, wildlife, and natural beauty. The boat ride was smooth, offering stunning coastal views, and once we arrived, the island’s dramatic cliffs and unspoiled scenery took my breath away. Whether you’re a nature lover or just looking for a unique escape, this tour is a must. The whole experience was perfectly organized and truly one of a kind. Highly recommended!

Best guided tour in Dublin.. fascinating history to this island that most Dubs only ever look at from the coast. The island itself is spotless clean and so well maintained by the owner. Amazing day out.

Brilliant service for a fun day out on a walking tour of Lambay Island. Eamon is a fantastic host providing a wealth of knowledge of the island on a detailed, enlightening and well paced walking tour. He guided our group around the island for an afternoon sharing with us history, anecdotes, a good deal of humor and of course the much anticipated opportunity to see the wallabies! After our guided tour we had a dip in the sea while Eamon got the BBQ going making for a tasty and sociable ending to our island trip before he whizzed us back across the water home. Great value for an amazing day out!
