Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Howth Head, Howth Ireland
Meet your guide at the Tourism Kiosk on Howth Harbour, and begin your hike from there. You'll walk uphill and out of the village, acquainting yourself with the more rustic, less trodden ways and trails that wind through the elder trees and radiant heather and gorse of the peninsula.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Howth Castle, Howth Ireland
Pass by Howth Castle, our very own real life Game of Thrones. Pass through ancient woodlands, and discover the gateway to the Otherworld, known as Aideen's Grave, a portal dolmen, as old as the pyramids. Explore the local jungle imported from Thailand by Lord Howth long ago, still thriving on the trails that your guide knows, but many locals and visitors don't.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Cliff Path Loop, 22 Balscadden Road Howth, Dublin Ireland
Continue out of the woodlands, to HG Wells's most beautiful view in the world, and on to the southern part of the peninsula, crossing the heathers of Shielmartin Hill and make your way to the cliff path that your guides know better than anyone else.
Duration: 45 minutes
Stop At: Baily Lighthouse, Hill of Howth, Howth D13 Ireland
After a short rest at Red Rock, where ships can be seen traversing Dublin Bay towards the port, spot the caves, stacks, and other monuments to the erosive power of the sea along the coastline and get a sense of the coastal habitats of the bay. Ascend gently along the cliff paths by the spectacular Baily Lighthouse.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Howth Summit, End of Bailey Green Road, Howth D13 Ireland
Reach the Summit where the world famous views of the Baily Lighthouse, Dublin Bay and the Wicklow mountains will take your breath away.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Shane's Howth Adventures, Howth Ireland
Then descend the disused tramlines by the steps back to Howth village, returning to the waterfront to end your tour.
Please note: Your tour may follow alternative routes for different tides and weather conditions.
Duration: 30 minutes

Thank you Zack and Bruno for an amazing day. Howth is spectacular, the view are amazing. Zack's local knowledge and enthusiasm made our trip one to remember. Would highly recommend. Comfortable walking boots are a must as you walk many miles over uneven ground.
We really had a fabulous time on our tour of the Howth Peninsula! We so enjoyed hiking up the mountain through the woods, then across the cliffs overlooking the ocean! What a great day we had !
This hiking tour is good for a family with teenagers or people on their own who wish to explore Howth in an exciting hiking experience. Shane was an amazing guide!
