★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 380 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $143.97Our pick

Kayak Dublin Bay seals from Dalkey. Gear included, beginner lessons, UNESCO biosphere views, and possible Dalkey Island stop, about 3 hours.

“We really enjoyed our trip out on the water. Eavan was our guide. He was very informative and fun! We saw porpoises and hung out with the seals for a good while. The seals were so cute! Eavan told us a lot about the seals, other wildlife and the area’s history. We felt very safe and it was a good adventure! I would definitely wear whatever you are going to wear underneath the wetsuit to the Harbour. There is no place to change. There are portable toilets to use there at the Harbour (public harbour toilets not so clean). Eavan also suggested no cotton clothing under the wetsuit. We recommend…”

2.Howth Safari Hiking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★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.”

5-hour Howth safari hike over Dublin Bay cliffs and hidden coves. Scones, a local guide, and a video memento included.

“We had such a great time at this 4-5 hours hiking tour! Our guide Conor was very enthusiastic about the scenery and was very up to date about the area. He made it feel comfortable and he was very funny. It felt like a family trip. When we would visit Howth in the future we would definitely do this tour again!”
