Meercruise van 1 uur op het grootste meer van Killarney
Beschrijving
Vaar over de prachtige meren van Killarney met de M.V Pride of the Lakes. MV Pride of the Lakes vertrekt vanaf het 15e-eeuwse Ross Castle en biedt schilderachtige tochten op Lough Leane - het is een comfortabel overdekt verwarmd schip. Deze prachtige cruise biedt een spectaculaire ervaring, varend in de scènes van zacht laagland, een verspreid eiland in de schaduw van de torenhoge ruigheid van de McGillycuddy Reeks - misschien vang je tijdens de tour een glimp op van de witstaartarenden of het prachtige sikahert . Er wordt een volledig commentaar gegeven op deze tour.

Reisroute
Ross Castle werd gebouwd in de 15e eeuw en was de zetel van de O'Donoghue Mor. Tijdens de tweede Desmond-opstand die leidde tot de plantage van Munster in de jaren 1580, veranderde het kasteel van eigenaar en werd het overgenomen door de McCarthy Mors.
Innisfallen Island, gelegen aan Lough Leane, was ooit de thuisbasis van een klooster dat dateert uit 640 na Christus. Het eiland was een plek van eenzaamheid voor de monniken om na te denken en te bidden. De monniken waren grote geleerden; de Hoge Koning van Ierland, Brian Boru, zou op het eiland Innsfallen hebben gestudeerd. Meer dan 300 jaar lang schreven 39 monniken wat nu bekend staat als de Annals of Innisfallen, een geschiedenis van het vroege Ierland geschreven in het Iers en Latijn.

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.

Thanks for leaving a review
Fantastic boat trip, lovely crew on the boat were very welcoming, lovely cafe at Ross castle with beautiful hand made cakes.
Thanks for your lovely comments, glad you enjoyed the tour
We did the Waterbus tour. Aligned with many others. It was a decent experience. Maybe an opportunity for a little more dialogue around history of the area. All in all pleasant and were able to buy tickets right before.
Great tour, very relaxed but informative.
Everything was great! Didn't get the captains name, chap maybe in his 60's, he was witty, informative, efficient and the while experience was brilliant. The lake and surrounding scenery is magnificent. For €17 each for nearly one hour (less for kids and pensioners), this is very good value.
Nice 1 hour cruise on the lake. Guide was excellent in pointing out interesting places. Water was smooth and weather cooperated. Enjoyed this tour very much.
