SEA AIR & OPEN ROAD
LAMBAY ISLAND TOURS
Just off the north Dublin coast, Lambay Island Tours offer the chance to experience one of Ireland’s most unusual private islands. Located off the coast of Malahide, Lambay combines wild landscapes, fascinating history and spectacular sea views in an experience unlike anywhere else around Dublin.
For guests at The Grand Hotel, Lambay Island Tours provide an opportunity to turn a stay in Malahide into a memorable island adventure. Boat transfers to Lambay are organised from Malahide or Howth, with the crossing from Malahide taking approximately 25 minutes.
Lambay Island Tours reveal a fascinating combination of natural and historic attractions. Depending on the experience selected, visitors can explore the island’s architecture, countryside and coastline, discover its historic castle and enjoy time around the harbour.
Nature and history tours offer an informative walk through the island before continuing to the castle area, including access to the historic Old Fort and castle terraces.
The journey itself is part of the experience. Leaving from Malahide or Howth, the boat crossing gives visitors a different perspective of the Fingal coastline before arriving on Lambay.
Lambay Island Tours are seasonal, with the island closed to visitors during winter months. Boat departure times are tide dependent and may change depending on weather and sea conditions, so flexibility is important when planning a visit.

ON YOUR DOORSTEP
BEGIN IN MALAHIDE
Some of the area’s most memorable experiences begin just moments from the hotel. Wander through Malahide Village, where independent shops, cafés and the marina create an easy-going coastal atmosphere, or step into centuries of local story at Malahide Castle & Gardens. With the village, castle grounds and shoreline close by, there is no need to travel far to make a day feel well spent.
SEA AIR & OPEN ROADS
FOLLOW THE COAST
Beyond Malahide, the Fingal coastline opens out into long sandy beaches, harbour towns and sea-view walks. Head to Portmarnock for an expansive beach stroll, hire a bike and explore at your own pace, or make the journey to Howth for harbour dining and dramatic cliffside views. It is an invitation to take the scenic route, with every turn offering a new perspective on Dublin’s north coast.
EXPLORE FINGAL
GARDENS, ESTATES, & COASTLINE
Take the time to explore the wider character of Fingal, where historic estates meet open parkland and the Irish Sea. Discover the gardens and coastal views of Ardgillan Castle, step back in time at Newbridge House & Farm, or travel north to Skerries Mills for a glimpse of traditional craft and coastal village life. Each offers an easy day out from Malahide, with space to wander, pause and see a different side of Dublin.
DUBLIN WITHIN REACH
MAKE A DAY OF THE CITY
Dublin City is close enough to enjoy at your own pace, whether you are planning a family day out, attending a major sporting occasion or taking in the capital’s best-known sights. Visit Dublin Zoo in Phoenix Park, experience the atmosphere of Croke Park or Aviva Stadium, or see the city through a guided DoDublin tour. When the day is done, return to The Grand Hotel and the calmer rhythm of the coast.
