Amazing hike in Howth!
Sophie C, 09-12-2022
My mom and I loved the Dublin Coastal Hike with Zack! It absolutely exceeded our expectations. It was actually a bit more strenuous than we anticipated (there was the occasional steep climb over some rocks or some brambles to navigate through), but Zack was so patient, kind, and helpful without being condescending or anything like that. He really tailors the experience to the abilities of the group. We loved the stories and poetry readings along the way, and the views that Zack brought us to were stunning. (He made sure we had plenty of time to take photos!) He also offered some recommendations for food and a pint in Howth upon our return to town. And, of course, I can't forget to mention the dog Loki who joined us for the trip—he's so much fun! I'd definitely book another hike with Shane's Howth Adventures the next time I'm in Ireland.
Amazing Coastal Hike!

Fabulous guided hike through Howth with outstanding 360 coastal views, local history and an amazing cliff walk. Thank you Zack and Loki for sharing a different view of Dublin that is a hidden diamond just a few train stops from the city!
Will definitely go back to Howth Adventures!

So tough to pick a single favorite thing about our adventure in Howth. Our guide, Conor, brought a bit of the magic of Ireland to every step of our forest and cliff walk hike (all 17000 of them!). The rain didn’t dampen our spirits or spoil the views - only added to the wonderful experience. Our visit to Dublin was a short one, but our excursion to Howth made it feel more complete. And Conor’s lunch recommendation to O’connell’s in Howth was the best meal of our trip.
Amazing your

This is an amazing tour! 3 hours of walking and I highly recommend good walking boots. Stunning views and a great way to see Ireland.
Wonderful experience

Stayed with my 13 year old son in Dublin and wanted an outdoor activity.
Found Howth Adventures online and booked de coastal hike because the e-bikes were not available in December.
What a lucky shot that was.
The hike was fantastic and Shane is an amazing storyteller.
Even my son, who is not particularly fond of walking loved every minute of it.
Thank you Shane for this wonderful memorie.
By the way, Octopussy afterwards was great!
Amazing guide and great scenery

Probably our favorite day of our holiday in Dublin. Amazing views and you get to learn about the history of Howth. Great walk, even in December.
Magical and magnificent

Magical walk because of the beautiful November weather and the 'secret' places Zack led us to and everything he told us or even declameted about those places. The views were magnificent. Definitely recommended! @Zack; we're still waiting for the foto-link :)
