The weather was fantastic on the day that we went so we had clear views of the mountains, islands, Castle, surrounding landmarks and the lake. The scenery was spectacular and we learned a lot through the guide on the day 👌 A truly memorable excursion which my mum in law and two 10 year old boys thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks so much!

Very good and very interest regarding local knowledge. 2 things that made it kind of not the best. 1. The weather (obviously nothing to do with the trip) 2. We just done the lough lean part of the trip. Maybe it was my mistake on booking the tour. But i would have loved to do the rest of the lakes. But all in all...great tour, great historical knowledge. Highly recommended.

Paul (captain) was very knowledgeable throughout the trip and was very good at sharing that knowledge. A very relaxing trip with many points of interest, have been going to Killarney for many years and cannot understand why I have not done the lake boat trip before. Very peaceful and enjoyable.
