A ferry ride back in time - One of the best trips we have taken. Paul and David were fantastic and though it rained most of the day, we had a blast. St Patrick's Island was so surreal. It was cold and rainy and some of us were prepared. Wish we could have seen more of Ashford Castle and the little village of Cong but some of our were drenched and the rain kept us from walking around too much. I would definitely do this again.

Fascinating, well-described and amazing ruins. - The cruise was one of the best I have been on as the information by on-board commentary and by guides on the island as we wandered to the two main church ruins was excellent. The ruins date back through centuries but one of them is still in consecrated use. The lake is lovely with many small islands and stunning views surrounding it. The boat was comfortable with a nice wee bar. Lovely and not to be missed on a rain-free day!
