1-stündige Seekreuzfahrt auf Killarneys größtem See
Beschreibung
Fahren Sie mit der M.V. Pride of the Lakes durch die wunderschönen Seen von Killarney. Die MV Pride of the Lakes sticht vom Ross Castle aus dem 15. Jahrhundert in See und bietet malerische Touren auf dem Lough Leane an – es handelt sich um ein komfortables, überdachtes und beheiztes Schiff. Diese wunderschöne Kreuzfahrt bietet ein spektakuläres Erlebnis: Sie kreuzen durch sanfte Tieflandlandschaften, verstreute Inseln im Schatten der hoch aufragenden rauen McGillycuddy Reeks – vielleicht erhaschen Sie während der Tour einen Blick auf die Seeadler oder die wunderschönen Sikahirsche . Zu dieser Tour gibt es einen ausführlichen Kommentar.

Reiseverlauf
Ross Castle wurde im 15. Jahrhundert erbaut und war der Sitz der O’Donoghue Mor. Während der zweiten Desmond-Rebellion, die in den 1580er Jahren zur Plantage von Munster führte, wechselte die Burg den Besitzer und wurde von den McCarthy Mors übernommen.
Auf der am Lough Leane gelegenen Insel Innisfallen befand sich einst ein Kloster aus dem Jahr 640 n. Chr. Die Insel war für die Mönche ein Ort der Einsamkeit zum Nachdenken und Beten. Die Mönche waren große Gelehrte, der Hochkönig von Irland Brian Boru soll auf der Insel Innsfallen studiert haben. Im Laufe von 300 Jahren verfassten 39 Mönche das, was heute als „Annals of Innisfallen“ bekannt ist, eine in Irisch und Latein verfasste Geschichte des frühen Irlands.

The boat leaves from the Ross Castle Pier, literally 8 minutes from the centre of Killarney. Lovely views. We were lucky enough to see a white tailed sea eagle!
Perfect tour for the kids and adults ages 4 to 79! . Great guide whole spoke loud and clearly and clean boat
Hi Olivia, thanks for leaving a review. We appreciate your comments
We may have had a unique tour because of low water levels, but we were hopeful to see the whole lake and only got to see a small part of it for an hour. If you are looking to see more, including getting off at the small islands, then I'd go with other local companies with smaller boats. We were admittedly a bit disappointed that we saw so little. Nice boat and friendly staff though!
Hi Brittany, thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Yes, we don't land on the island, it is only the smaller open boats that can land due to infrastructure on the island. We sail within a certain area of the lake to ensure there is no disturbance to the flora and fauna in the National Park. As advertised, ours is a Lake Cruise, no landing tour.
Lovely trip around the lake. Brian and Frank were very friendly, especially with our 2 small children. Enjoyed hearing about the history and the landmarks.

Just back from a family hoilday in kilarney & we booked the lake cruise as something to do on our hoilday our driver stered the course with commentary about the islands on the lakes & some facts about Kilarney with some humor to boot. Our 14yr daughter also got to ster the boat.
Thanks for your review, we are glad you all enjoyed the tour
Absolutely stunning views very good knowledge from our captain! Highly recommend got some great photos.
It was a nice slow cruise thru the lake. It was a hard day to see because of the weather. Wish the windows opened because it was hot and more information was given about what we were seeing. Traveling with my kids and it was not entertaining for them. Slow and a tag borring
Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Unfortunately the weather can change quickly and views can be obscured due to the weather. All of the windows on the boat open back if you would have asked the captain or helper, they would have assisted you with opening it. We do hope you can join us again in more favorable conditions as when the sun shines in Killarney National Park, there is no where in the world better to be.
It was a nice boat ride but boat was a bit tired Captain was informative and friendly For the price was worth it
Thank for leaving a review, we appreciate all comments.
A lovely experience coupled with an interesting and humorous commentary. A great view of Ross Castle from the water.
Thanks for taking the time to leave a review, we appreciate your comments
Definitely not worth it. There are many other boats on the lake that will take you out to different locations. It was a beautiful lake and I would have liked to do more.
Hi Sarah, Thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We appreciate all comments, and yes indeed there are many other boats, depending on the type of tour people are looking for and their needs. Our tour is more suited to those who like to enjoy a leisurely cruise while enjoying the onboard commentary along with the magnificent views of Killarney National Park.
