About this excursion
Come with me, Ian, a 4th generation local guide, to explore Dublin’s coastline on a relaxed walk from Dún Laoghaire to Dalkey — with options to continue to Killiney.
This scenic route blends sea views with layers of history beneath your feet. As we follow the bay, the landscape reveals its story — from Wicklow granite that built harbours, homes and landmarks to the events behind Dún Laoghaire Harbour.
Along the way, hear stories of maritime tragedy, Victorian ambition, and everyday life by the sea. Discover Dalkey’s past as a Viking trading settlement, tales of defence against Napoleon, and connections to Joyce.
This is a friendly walk with time to pause and take in the views, ask questions, and enjoy the experience together.
Flexible route with options for a swim, coffee, ice cream, or a pint — with plenty of chances to stop, chat, and soak up Dublin’s unique coastal atmosphere at an easy, enjoyable pace.
Cruise guests: timed for ship schedules with guaranteed return to port.
