Very relaxing and gorgeous views! Highly recommend even on a rainy day… the boat is covered and the captain is highly knowledgeable.
What an amazing experience! The boat ride was one of the highlights of our trip, and my toddler absolutely loved every minute of it. It was both fun and educational—we learned about the different islands and their fascinating history while enjoying the beautiful scenery. The captain was exceptionally kind, friendly, and welcoming, making us feel comfortable throughout the journey. His knowledge and hospitality made the experience even more memorable. We had a fantastic day and would highly recommend this boat tour to families, couples, and anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable way to explore the area. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!
Spectacular scenery, friendly, informative guide. Not too crowded & able to sit at the stern outside to take panoramic photos
Secret tip on Fridays - no coach tours. There were only about 10 on our boat. Paul our captain and host was lovely snd full of information. We were fortunate enough to see 2 sea eagles which he pointed out. Amazing! Well worth the trip beautiful scenery and very calming.
A lovely cruise on one of Killarney’s lakes leaving from Ross castle. However I would buy my ticket at the cruise ship itself as it’s €5 per person cheaper.
perfect little trip to do before a pint of guinness in killarney . only an hour long if you don’t want to do an all day trip . captain was very knowledgable about the area .
our outing was very interesting, Frank was very knowledgeable and enjoyed our questions the lake was beautiful and we learned much about the area
It was our first day in Killarney, and the boat ride was fabulous. The guide was very informative and gave us a lot of information about the lake and the surrounding areas.
Relaxing 1 hr trip around Lower Lake worth the time toacquaint yourself with a bit of history of Killarney lakes
Great carriage ride through Killarney National Park. Driver (Michael) was very informative and engaging. Gave us a great recommendation for breakfast also!
