Mark and Missy are top rated for a reason. What a wonderful way to spend a day. The group size is 12 people max. This makes for fun and getting to know each other a bit. Mark is a fantastic story teller and Missy is a delightful little tour guide. You hike 5 miles along breathtaking coast. Howth is a lovely place. There were lots of other people out on the trails. You need to be in good health for the hike. You also need to be OK with heights. Wear hiking or athletic shoes with some traction. The perfect ending is the pint at the Bloody Stream. Do yourself a favor and get out of the city for this little adventure.

What a genius experience!! I booked Mark's coastal hike for our team of colleagues from different countries who had not met face to face before... this was perfect team-bonding: a magical location, funny & kind host, sweet dog, and sunshine!!! We were so lucky, took beautiful memories back home with us, and we totally love the short video shared by Mark. A drink at the pub is the most perfect close-out.
