Boat tour within the
Dublin Bay UNESCO Biosphere
Goat Boat Tours looked after all our needs with a high attention to detail. The boat is in pristine condition and very comfortable. Our overseas colleagues really enjoyed the experience from start to finish. The team were energised after the boat tour and I would highly recommend this experience to any other company.
This was the perfect team building day. The package included a meeting room, food, drinks and full changing facilities. The boat tour exceeded our expectations and we intend to come back again.
