Breath-taking views on this fun hike! - Our family, age 16 and up, had a great time with our very friendly and patient tour guides. We earned our fish and chips on this hike. The views were beautiful. I would recommend pants to help protect you from the nettles. You might also wish to know that you are walking part of the time next to the edge of some cliffs. I was comfortable with the path but if you don't care for heights you might consider that. The group was very often the only people in sight. We felt very well cared for. We enjoyed learning the history of the area with Sean's fun, interesting stories as well.

Guys (n Gals) trip to Howth - The guides are very knowledgeable and patient. Be prepared to walk a lot, where long sleeves and long pants with socks to avoid getting pricked by the plants. It rains a lot so be prepared for a change in weather, stepping in mud. Always bring a positive attitude, take lots of pictures and enjoy a great meal afterwards.

The beauty of the terrain and the interesting history that Zack taught us made this an exceptional experience and I would highly recommend this to everyone…and Loki, Zack’s dog, is an awesome copilot!

Best nature-tour close to Dublin - This was the best tour I've ever had! The guide, Zack, was genuinely nice, and you could feel the love for nature and his town. The history, the stories, the paths we took, the views, were all insightful and magical, there is so much fauna and flora, it was fascinating! I was looking for some nature outside Dublin, close by, reachable on my own by train, and not crowded, and I’m so happy of my choice.

Exercising While Learning About Ireland - Zack was our single and handsome hiking guide and took us elderly women on a wonderful hike around Howth. His travel company Howth Adventures is family owned and Zach is fourth generation Irish from Howth. We saw all kinds of beautiful plants and trees and birds and we hiked up to the highest point in Howth with a spectacular 360 degree view of Dublin and Dublin Bay and Bull Island and Ireland’s Eye and Lambay Island. Baily’s Lighthouse. Zach was full of stories and local lore.
