With every turn your heart will be captured with dramatic scenery of mountains that rise from the lakes shores, majestic ancient woodlands and glass-like water. Start your tour by getting properly equipped with a wet suit and buoyancy aid, before heading down to the shore for a safety briefing. Starting by Ross Island, you will make your way through a beautiful channel, under a stone bridge to a unique side of Ross Island that few see.  Small, limestone islands dot the lake, glass water reflects the day's sky, and in the distance you have Ireland's tallest mountain range, the McGillcuddy Reeks. The next part of this tour takes you to a few of these islands, passing through caves and experiencing the delights of Ireland's oldest national park. Learn all about the history of how this area formed, its role during the Bronze Age, and why this lake became known as Lough Leane, meaning the lake of learning. After taking in the peaceful views and having a bit of fun in the caves, head back towards the 15th century Ross Castle, where your guide will tell you all about Cromwell's ingenious invasion of the castle, as well as how Killarney National Park came to be.
