About
A small-group boat tour out of Coal Harbour in Dún Laoghaire into the Dublin Bay UNESCO Biosphere, run by Goat Boat Tours. All-weather gear, life jackets and binoculars are handed out before you head out past the Martello towers and along the coast towards Dalkey Island. The skipper keeps up a running commentary on the history of the bay, the big shoreline houses and the wildlife, with seals, seabirds and the odd dolphin along the way. It runs about ninety minutes and goes ahead in most weather.
