Overview

The ferry to Ireland’s Eye is a picturesque and tranquil journey across the waters of the Irish Sea. Passengers can enjoy stunning views of the rugged coastline and the iconic Howth Head cliffs as they make their way to the small, uninhabited island.

Weather permitting, the ferry will land at the island where passengers can disembark and explore the rugged beauty of Ireland’s Eye.

Visitors can also take a stroll around the island, taking in the stunning views of the mainland. The island’s ancient Martello tower, which dates back to the early 19th century, is a popular landmark. The island offers panoramic views of the surrounding area, and the opportunity for a gorgeous sea swim in the clear waters on the west-facing beach. The island is home to a variety of bird species, including puffins, gannets, and cormorants, making it a popular spot for birdwatchers.

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
