ダブリン・コースト・ハイキング、パイント＆パピーズ・アドベンチャー

We had a delightful time discovering one of Ireland’s National Treasures. Both breathtaking and adorable: we would encourage everyone to tour with Patrick. Oh, and the puppies & cliffs were fun too! Exploring the coastal stores and oysters shucked by the shore was also a big treat.

Paddy was an excellent guide--full of history and stories and good craic. The hike includes a good bit of uphill climbing--just an FYI. Also bring water with you, especially if it is a warm day. The hike begins in town--so many interesting things to see and great stories to listen to. Then up the trail and along the edge of the cliff. The trail is wide most of the way, and wide enough all of the way. I will admit I stayed on the inner edge of the trail. The views are spectacular. Then you get back to the pub--and it is lovely to sit with your new friends and share a pint and something to eat (optional). AND then, the puppies. So adorable.

I can't say enough about how fun this tour was. Our guide, Paddy, was so funny and informative! We learned so much history, and the hike was amazing. The views were just so breathtaking. The puppies were adorable - our adult kids (18 & 20) had a blast with them, and the pint at the Bloody Stream after the hike was perfect! Truly a great experience!

Puppies and Pints in Howth was an absolute highlight of our trip to Ireland! The hike offered breathtaking coastal views, charming trails, and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the beauty of Howth. Spending time with the friendly dogs made the experience even more special. Our guide was knowledgeable, welcoming, and clearly passionate about both the area and the animals. Finishing the adventure with a pint and great conversation was the perfect ending to a memorable day. If you’re looking for a unique experience that combines stunning scenery, local culture, and adorable canine companions, Puppies and Pints is a must-do!

My family of 4 (two teens) thoroughly enjoyed the walking tour. Paddy was an amazing and funny guide. He shared with us knowledge of plants and birds along the hike. At various points, Paddy shared the history of events that occurred along the coast the shaped Ireland's history. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to explore Ireland's coast just 30 minutes away from Dublin.

Mark, along with his pups, made for a very enjoyable and memorable day in Howth. He shared the history of the area, notable names and recent stories as we walked through town and along the cliffs. The views were incredible! Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate to complete the full hike, but that only meant we got to the pub sooner. Things to keep in mind…parts of the hike may be difficult for those who struggle with stairs and it was significantly more windy in Howth compared to Dublin, so I would recommend layers.

Mark was an absolutely amazing guide! He was extremely personal and felt more of a friend walking you around rather than a cold guide. He cared for everyone in our group, and made sure we were all okay on the hike. He is also extremely funny and has good jokes!! We shared lots of laughs and stories! At the end, his wife joined us at the pub with their little puppies and it was a blast! The views were also incredible. Mark went above and beyond to make this experience something special. I would 10/10 recommend to anyone visiting Dublin, and next time i'm here I will be doing his evening tour as well. Super lovely people and had the best of time!!

The coastal hike, pint, and pub experience with Hidden Howth Experiences was the perfect mix of movement, nature, and local culture. The hike itself was a solid workout, with plenty of uphill stretches that get your heart rate up, but it never felt overwhelming because you’re constantly stopping to take in the views. The cliffs, sea air, and quiet trails make it feel really peaceful and grounding, like you’re getting a proper break from the city. What made it stand out was how balanced everything was you’re active, but not rushed. There’s time to actually look around, chat, and enjoy the scenery instead of just powering through. Ending the hike with a pint in a local pub was the best reward, especially with the relaxed atmosphere and that classic Irish pub feel. It felt authentic rather than touristy, and the whole experience had a really easy, fun flow to it.

Howth is a nice town, and the stories along the way were great insights of local history. DART provided quick access. The views on the hike are awesome.

We really enjoyed this experience. Mark was very funny and informative. Missy, the pup, was a perfect guide for our walk. We got to meet Mark's trainees, Sky and Luna. They will make great guides one day. You get a walk through town, a hike on a trail over the cliffs, then a pint in town. The walk isn't too hard, but there is a bit of up hill and uneven surfaces. The trail is crowded on a nice day. The town is very cute and we stayed and walked around after, ending with another pint at a pub with cats. It was a great day to spend with 4 legged ambassadors.
