Overview

Walk Dublin Bay's spectacular Granite Coast with a 4th-generation local guide and discover the stories hidden behind the scenery. Explore Dún Laoghaire, Sandycove and Dalkey while uncovering tales of High Kings, shipwrecks, Victorian engineering, literary giants and the people who shaped this remarkable coastline.

From ancient forts to Victorian grandeur, this walk reveals layers of history that most visitors pass by without ever noticing, bringing one of Ireland's most beautiful coastlines to life through story and place.

More than just a sightseeing tour, this is an opportunity to experience Dublin Bay through the eyes of a local. Enjoy hidden harbours, dramatic sea views, fascinating history and plenty of opportunities to pause for photographs, conversation, coffee, ice cream or a pint. With small private groups and a relaxed pace, you'll feel less like a tourist and more like a local for a few hours.
