Matt, our tour guide, led us on our hike while sharing the rich culture and history of the area. He was an EXCELLENT guide and attended to the group in a very thoughtful manner. The hike itself was moderately challenging with many types of terrains and inclines and incredibly BEAUTIFUL!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 279 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $71.38

Guided Howth Safari hike with scones, cliff viewpoints, sea-cave stops, and Baily Lighthouse. Small group, about 5 hours, good value.

“The hike around Howth was beautiful and fun. It was about 9 miles with some hills - hiking shoes are helpful. The views were amazing. Our tour consisted of 7 people - 2 families of three and one single person. A great group with easy conversation. Dee is a wonderful guide! She’s friendly and local and very knowledgable. Her stories and enthusiasm made the hike even better. This was a hike she did regularly even before she was a top-notch tour guide. If you’re staying in Dublin, just hop on the DART to Howth. Easy trip and highly recommended.”
