Howth Coastal Tour from Dublin with Cliff Walk

About this experience

Swap central Dublin’s streets for sea views, a cliff walk and time in Howth Village on this four-hour coastal outing. Your ticket combines an open-top double-decker bus journey with a guided walk, leaving space to explore the village independently before returning to Dublin. It suits a morning or afternoon when you want to reach the coast with the main travel arrangements already organised. The outing has a defined return journey, so you can enjoy Howth without working out the transport connection back yourself. Howth Coastal Tour from Dublin: see the coast from an open-top bus The journey begins on O’Connell Street Upper, where you board the bus for Howth. Live English commentary adds local context during the drive, and the open-top format keeps the views central to the journey. Dress for the weather rather than just the temperature inside your hotel: the upper deck is exposed to wind and rain. Free Wi-Fi is available aboard, while the lower deck provides the wheelchair-accessible boarding area specified by the operator. Join a guided walk on the Cliffs of Howth A 60-minute guided cliff walk is the active part of the excursion. Follow your English-speaking guide along the coastal route and look out across Dublin Bay as the scenery opens around you. This is a walking experience as well as a bus trip, so comfortable footwear matters. The bus’s accessible lower deck does not establish that every part of the cliff route is accessible; confirm your requirements before booking if steps or uneven paths would affect your visit. Use your free time in Howth Village Around 75 minutes are set aside for independent time in the village. You could look around the streets, choose a place for seafood or simply enjoy being by the coast before the return departure. St Mary’s Abbey and the Martello Tower are among the local landmarks mentioned in the itinerary, but admission to attractions and food are not included. Keep an eye on the agreed return time so your village stop remains relaxed and you are ready when the group boards again. Howth Coastal Tour from Dublin with Cliff Walk: transport and ticket choices Select an available morning or afternoon departure.
