Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. The boat ride was very relaxing and a nice leisure activity. The boat was very comfortable and covered in case of rain. I would highly recommend the boat tour and then seeing the Ross Castle which is right next to the boat launch. Thank you for a delightful boat tour!
