Thanks for joining us onboard Howth Cliff Cruises.
brilliant experience as could actually touch the sea
Delighted to hear you and your grandson enjoyed your trip with us!
Tour not well organized. Lack of a specific guide to explain the locations. The trip was characterized by a few too many waves, which made the journey "not very peaceful" - the operator should have checked the route to be taken in advance to provide a better service.

Great way to see the coast in an hour with a little history of the light houses. Thank you for a good family experience.
Thanks Bridget - delighted to hear you & the family enjoyed your time onboard with us.
