Description

Begin your private coastal day tour with pickup from your Dublin hotel, airport, port, cruise terminal, or agreed location. After meeting your driver-guide, leave the city and travel north towards the Dublin coastline. Within a short time, the city gives way to sea views, coastal roads, harbors, villages, parkland, and fresh sea air. Your guide will introduce the story of Dublin’s north coast: fishing villages, Viking and Norman history, castles, maritime trade, coastal defense, seafood traditions, and the modern seaside communities that still give this part of Dublin its local character. Explore Howth, a historic fishing village with a busy harbor, seafood cafés, fishmongers, coastal trails, lighthouse views, and dramatic cliffs overlooking Dublin Bay. Then continue to Malahide, one of Dublin’s most attractive seaside towns, where you can visit the magnificent Malahide Castle and Gardens, stroll through parkland, and enjoy time in the village. Choose a relaxed sightseeing version, a more active cliff walk version, or a food-and-castle focused version depending on your interests.
