Perfect Experience - We had a perfect day for the cruise. I would reccomend sitting at the outside section for the best experience. The tour guide really made the experience, he provided information on the lake and surrounding areas and this really made the experience. Its also the perfect amount of time for the experience. Would love to do this again if in the area

Not to be missed! - Beautiful scenic trip on the lake highlighting the picturesque scenery on the lovely Lough Leanne. Our guide was informative and offered lots interesting points along the way. Beautiful views back to Ross Castle and the mountains. We were very lucky with the beautiful Autumn day but this was a highlight of our family trip to Kerry.

Fun lake tour, even in the rain! - This was a fun lake tour and our boat captain seemed very knowledgeable. Plenty of opportunities for some fantastic pictures, even in the rain from the windows in the cabin.

Definitely worth doing while.you're in Killarney - This was a pilgrimage for me--a return to a lake I rowed on 50 years ago. Blue sky or not, a lovely and peaceful way to spend an hour. The Captain had great stories and a member of the crew even came to find me when the sailing schedule changed. Docks right at Ross Castle so easy to tour the castle before or afterward.

Nice, Relaxing Way to See the Lake - We really enjoyed this boat ride. We got to see parks of the park/lake you normally couldn’t see. Our guide provided a lot of information about the wildlife that can be found and the history of the region. It was a great way to see the park!

Great break from driving the countryside is taking this tour and soaking up the sights around the lake. - Great views and great guide giving us information along the cruise. Leisurely and relaxing. Loved learning a little bit about the area and it's history while sitting back and taking in the sights.
