Weather rubbish but great trip!
Booked for a sunset cruise with my little girl but unfortunately the weather was terrible so I got a phonecall earlier in the day to say they were moving the trip to 7pm because the weather was only going to get worse, which was fine...to be honest I was surprised it wasn't cancelled due to the weather. The lads who took us out were great, looked after us and my little girl probably enjoyed it more than she would of done the sunset cruise because the sea was so rough and we got soaked! We all made the most of a rubbish situation weather wise, would love to come back in the future and do it in the sunshine!

Summer Sunset cruise
Really enjoy this trip! Made me want to buy a boat myself☺️ Atmosphere was very relaxed and we could move around the boat to see the sights from every angle. The Captain was nice and chilled and great with the younger children onboard. Outstanding scenery on a sunny day with sighting of a seal as well. Felt refreshed after the trip. Would defo go again🌸

Had a great evening on the cruise..the sea was a little rough at the beginning, but it was perfect when we got to the cliffs. Could have been a bit more informative on the history of Irelands eye. Overall its a great thing to do
