Boat Trips Howth
Irelands Eye is stunning to view in the distance whilst dining at Aqua, but it is also steeped in history.
In early Christian times, circa 700AD, 3 holy men took up residence on the island, penning one of the oldest Irish Manuscripts 'The Howth Garland' this wonderful book will be available for viewing at Trinity College come 2016 all going well with funding.
The island suffered many enemy attacks and so eventually the monastery was moved inland.

Irelands Eye Ferries offer a number of options for boat trips including landing on Irelands Eye itself or a scenic trip around the island. The plethora of wildlife is a testament to how unspoiled the island has remained.
Nesting season during May and June is particularly fascinating!
The ferry operates from the East Pier of Howth.
If you fancy exploring our local waters, visit us here in Howth, we are only 9 miles from Dublin City Centre and 20 minutes from Dublin Airport.
