  This boat tour is a tourist trap. Don't do it. You will see some new buildings near the harbour and building cranes. Nothing of interest. The boat is so slow you could swim faster. If you walk in the direction of the harbour you will in a shorter time. Worst boat trip I did, ever! Boring! Waste of time and money.

  Very warm inside no fresh air at all ..it's make us sweating.. they said 45 mins around Liffey river but it was 25 mins only ..it doesn't deserve the cost of €35 for family of 4.

  14 Euros but if you look around at your hotel there may be a coupon. Was a 45 minute tour and is a good relaxing one if you're having some free time in Dublin. It doesn't span a huge length, but goes down the river one side (east I believe) and gives you some slight history as well as new facts. There's both a boat operator and a tour guide, so you can ask plenty of questions and the guide speaks most of the time.

  Kind of meh. Guide was nice/interesting, but there isn't a lot to see from the river. Do another tour - just not a river one.

  This river tour is highly recommended and anyone that I spoke to during the trip down and up the Liffey really enjoyed themselves and all were impressed by the attractive river taxi. I would be inclined to go at high tide rather then low tide if you are interested in photography.
  
  The ‘Spirit of Docklands’, the Liffey Voyage [original business name] tour boat, was officially named at a special ceremony on Wednesday, 29th June 2005, in Dublin’s Docklands. The ‘Spirit of Docklands’ was built in Sweden by the builders, Westers Mekaniska. The ‘Spirit of Docklands’ is a 52-seat low profile boat, 23 metres long and capable of travelling at 9.5 knots.
  
  In recent years, the only regular traffic on the river within the city centre of Dublin is the Dublin Discovered Boat Tours
  service, which runs guided tours along the River Liffey through Dublin City centre. Departing from the boardwalk downstream of the Ha’Penny bridge, the Spirit of the Docklands runs under O'Connell Bridge, Butt Bridge and the Talbot Memorial Bridge on a journey downstream, passing the Custom House before turning at the Grand Canal Basin and back up stream.
  
  The boat, has variable ballast tanks (like a submarine) and an exceptionally low air draught which means that at low tide it can float high, but at high tide it can ride low and pass below the Liffey Bridges.

  Eimear was well versed and on spot with interactive commentary. Irene was an excellent skipper as well. Wish they could have covered more of the Liffey but the bit they did cover was worth the money/time.

  An inexpensive but short cruise about 30 to 45 minutes, pointing out a few historic sites along the river. Tour is run by a Canadian who moved to Dublin years ago.
