Boat tour within the
Dublin Bay UNESCO Biosphere
My experience with Goat Boat Tours was simply unforgettable! As a lover of the sea, I was thrilled to find a tour that truly showcased the beauty of Dublin Bay and its incredible wildlife. The tour was well-organized and started with a detailed safety briefing where we were provided with lifejackets and weatherproof clothing – a thoughtful touch for Dublin’s unpredictable weather!
The views of Dun Laoghaire Harbour and the surrounding coastline were breathtaking. We spotted seals and a variety of sea birds, and even caught a glimpse of a pod of dolphins. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories about the history of the area and pointing out iconic landmarks like the Martello Towers and Dalkey Island.
