Lovely boat ride around the beautiful rocks housing many, many birds. The dinner at The Bloidy Stream was excellent. I thought they might have offered a preset meal but they allowed us to choose anything off the menu. A great tour combo.
Thank you for joining us onboard Howth Cliff Cruises.
We did the coastal cruise and dinner option which we thought was good value for money. We were a bit surprised that the commentary on the boat was just a recording rather than a guide but it was a nice trip regardless. The food at the pub after was good but unfortunately they didnt have some of the options , limiting what we could have a little and the wait for food was rather long. Both locations were easy to find though and Howath is beautiful, definitely worth a visit if in Dublin and want to escape the city for a few hours.
Thank you for joining us onboard!
Very disorganized. The excursion itself was ok and the lunch that was included was fantastic. But Viator listed the wrong meeting place and it took an extra hour to figure that out. The tour operator gave very poor meeting instructions. There was no live guide on the boat tour, just a recording.

If you would like to discuss further directly with our management team please contact them via howthcliffcruises@gmail.com. Kind Regards, Howth Cliff Cruises team.
I loved this tour! The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and flexible with time. I showed up an hour earlier and they accommodated by putting me on an earlier tour. The tour was the perfect amount of time for people who do not want to spend all day at sea. The restaurant that’s included after the tour was amazing! Friendly staff and the food was top tier.
Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed your cruise and the crew could accommodate your change in schedule. We will be sure to let Wrights know that you also enjoyed their cuisine. We look forward to welcoming you onboard again in the future! Regards, Howth Cliff Cruises.
The cruise and dine was perfect! The crew was very knowledgeable about the history and we had the pleasure of seeing puffins and a seal!
Delighted you enjoyed your cruise & dine experience with us. We hope to see you onboard again in the future. Kind regards, The Howth Cliff Cruises team.
The dinner at the Bloody Stream was fabulous. The food was delicious; there was a fireplace; the staff were great! The staff on the boat were not aware of dinner and cruise option as most of the passengers were on the boat for the cruise option only. We were with an elderly person who had difficulty walking from boat to restaurant. It would have been helpful to have a car service bring her to restaurant after cruise.
Thanks for the review, we are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food and the boat trip. Apologies that you felt the distance between the restaurant and the pontoon affected the experience so much, we will take your feedback on board
Our experience with Viator and the vendor was really confusing. The app listed the wrong meeting place so we had to reach out to find out where to be. The tour was fine although we didn’t realize the guided aspect would be prerecorded. Lastly, we purchased a tour and dinner combo but we had to figure how the dinner worked for ourselves. No one told us where to go or how it worked.

Great boat trip with multiple bird viewing areas. Food in the bloody stream after was great. Food is received by showing the pub the ticket.
Thanks Emily, delighted to hear you enjoyed both the boat trip and your meal in the Bloody Stream!
Excellent, great views, friendly staff and good food at the pub afterwards
Really lovely experience, the skipper Noel was excellent, lots of fun and beautiful scenery. I would definitely recommend
Thanks Lisa, I will be sure to pass this onto Noel. Really appreciate the recommendation
