Hop on a half-day excursion to Howth, a picturesque seaside village set on the Howth Peninsula, just a short journey from Dublin. This tour includes return transport, a guided cliff walk, and free time to explore at your own pace.

For centuries, Howth has thrived as a fishing village, its harbour alive with activity. Once a strategic headland, it was invaded by Vikings and became the site of many battles as rival groups fought for control. Today, the village is a sought-after coastal retreat where long-standing fishing families live alongside golfers and rock stars, blending history, tradition and modern charm. During your visit, you’ll enjoy 75 minutes of free time to stroll the harbour, browse local shops or sample some of Dublin’s finest seafood.

Your guided walking tour along the cliffs is led in English by your driver guide. As you take in sweeping views across Dublin Bay, keep an eye out for local wildlife such as gannets, puffins, seals, curlews and seagulls. The rugged scenery offers a striking contrast to the bustle of the city.

The Coastal Tour departs from Big Bus Tours Stop #1 at 13 Upper O’Connell Street, with departures at 09:45 and 14:00. The total duration is four hours, including one hour of travel each way, a 60-minute guided walk and 75 minutes of free time in the village. The tour is accessible for wheelchair users and prams, and luggage is welcome on board. Please present your booking confirmation to a Big Bus Tours staff member at least 15 minutes before departure.
