 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. An unbelievable experience. Skippers Conor and Ed are fantastic. The tour, obvious and non obvious sights along the way are fantastic local knowledge. We even had a mother porpoise (dolphin) and her calf. Very cool. Back to Dunlaoghaire for an amazing sunset over Dublin city.

Tour guides are experienced locals who know all the history of the mansions in the dalkey area and the swimming pools on there as well 😁

Conor was a wonderful guide with lots of interesting and humorous insights into Dublin Bay, Dalkey and the islands. 10 out of 10!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely loved my experience with Goat Boat Tour! I went with a group of friends, and it was such a fun and unique way to see Dublin. Seeing the city from Dublin Bay gives you a completely different perspective, and it's definitely worth it. Our guide, Antônia, was lovely and made the tour even more enjoyable by sharing interesting facts and stories about the buildings and landmarks we passed along the way. I also really appreciated how much the team prioritised everyone's safety from the very beginning. You can tell they genuinely care about making sure everyone feels comfortable and enjoys the experience. I would definitely do it again and highly recommend it to both locals and visitors. It's an experience that's absolutely worth having!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It started off a bit rocky because, when following the directions, we were sent to a cruise‑ship area near the kids’ circus — about a 20‑minute walk from the actual location. When we asked around, no one seemed to know where the Goatboat was. I’d recommend arriving at least 30–45 minutes early to avoid the running around I ended up doing with my kids. Thankfully, Conor was kind enough to wait for us, so the boat left about 15–20 minutes late. Once we got going, it was a great experience. I wouldn’t mind trying it again next time.
