Wonderful tour of Dublin Bay with a super engaging, fun and kind guide, Heather. Perfect weather and day - couldn’t ask for better! Highly recommend this boat tour and getting to experience Dublin from the sea

Fabulous experience, captain was great, with lots of interesting stories. It was beautiful to see the coast from the sea. Kids loved it too.

Comfy padded seats on the slow cruise around the inner harbour with live historical commentary. Boat speeds up once out of the harbour en route to Dalkey Island. Seal sightings almost guaranteed. We had great weather and calm seas, but that's the luck of the draw! Nice activity. 90 minutes all in including safety briefing and returning of life jackets to the HQ

We had a wonderful summer’s evening with Dublin Boat Tours, lucky to catch the good weather. Departing from Dun Laoghaire, we cruised along the stunning coastline, taking in views of the 40 Foot, Dalkey Island, and more — all from the comfort of a lovely boat. It was great to see the area so lively and full of energy on a warm evening. Our skipper, Heather, was incredibly friendly and made everyone feel safe and welcome. A peaceful, scenic way to spend a few hours by the sea. Highly recommend it for locals and visitors alike — a real gem!

If you had a Sailing boat or a jet ski - you would have the same experience as when touring on a Dublin Bay boat trip! You would enjoy all the must see areas from a boat -plus jump on splashing waves as if you were on a jet ski. The boat skipper really loves his job, and the receptionist is extremely nice and helpfull, too.

Organised and very friendly staff. The experience itself was fun and insightful. It helped that the weather was great and got to see lots of seals. Igor given a gift card which I decided to use last minute and glad I did. Would recommend if visiting Dublin.
