Howth Boat Trips
Ireland's Eye Ferries, Howth Cliffs Cruise & Fishing Charters
Take a beautiful Howth boat trip around the picturesque island, taking in the Stack, where you see various seabirds such as Gannets, Guillemots, Cormorants, Kittiwakes, Puffins and Seagulls. You will also see the cave, the Martello Tower, and with a bit of luck a colony of seals.
Landing on the island is possible but only at certain times subject to tide height and wind conditions, which vary daily. (If you land on the island and intend trekking around it, wear long trousers, long sleeves and shoes as some parts are difficult to navigate)
This trip around the island lasts approx 40 mins and costs €15 for adults, €10 for teens and €5 for children under 12. If you land on the island you can stay for an hour or two with pick up by arrangement with boatman.
Around 700 AD three holy men, who were the sons of Nessan a prince of the Royal House of Leinster, established a church on Ireland's Eye. The church was named "Cill Mac Nessan".
There they penned a holy manuscript copy of the four Gospels named the Garland of Howth.
This is of similar type to the famous Book of Kells, and it too is preserved in Trinity College Dublin.
