"most spectacular thing we’ve done.."
Zack’s costal hike was the most spectacular thing we’ve done on a 7 week trip to seven countries. We’ve visited the Great Pyramids and Sphinx, Greek islands, the Vatican and Sistine chapel, so we’ve seen a lot of amazing things on our trip- this was by far the best. If you enjoy nature, water, green hills, and fields of purple heather you should not miss this hike.

We had a fantastic day discovering Howth with Shane. He's an excellent guide, passionate, highly informative and great craic. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

We loved out in in Howth, due in a large part to Zack from Shane's Howth Adventures. He took excellent care of our multigenerational group - we all immensely enjoyed learning about the history of the area. The natural beauty is incredible too!
