This tour was so much fun—and interesting and informative. We highly recommend it. Don’t let the weather intimidate you. It changes every few minutes—and Conor ensures you’re dressed appropriately. Being on the water and hearing stories and seeing rainbows, harbor porpoises, sea birds, coastal mansions, Dalkey Island, and more, provided a totally different perspective. See Dublin on a Goat Boat Tour with Conor!
This is a magical tour around Dalkey Island and the nearby coastline. It's really exciting when the boat gets up to speed outside the harbour, but the quiet parts are wonderful too. Great stories from a friendly local guide, loads of wildlife and a fascinating look at a lot of the coastal features you'll know from the land side if you live around here. One of the parts I found most interesting was seeing all the private access points into the sea that a lot of the properties around Dalkey and Killiney have. Either wrap up warmly before you arrive or take one of the cosy jackets they provide to protect you from the sea breeze. Overall, a brilliant tour. Highly recommended!
Goat boat tour has exceeded all our expectations. My friends and I had the best time. Our skipper Ed, was brilliant as well, very hospitable, kind, knowledgeable, and helpful.
Great tour!! Searched for a tour that wasn't a tourist trap, but really something interesting. And Conor did a fantastic job! We had a lovely group of people. So there was a great vibe from the beginning. A lot of history trough the tour, great scenery, fantastic views! We have seen some seals, the sunset was beautifull. Our 15 year old daughter loved it to. Good to know for the parents with teenagers ;-). All in all very much recommended!! Thanks Conor!
Great views, plenty of wildlife, Great trip!!! Conor and Ed were brilliant, they made us feel comfortable and clearly love what they do. They shared their extensive knowledge of the sea with us and talked all about the history and marine life of the harbour. We saw plenty of seals and sea birds on the rocks along with loads of jellyfish at the surface. Overall it was a brilliant trip and would definitely go again…
