Perfect Duo - We started the tour with the boat ride, which was relaxing and educational. It was easy embarking and disembarking. The heated interior provided welcome warmth against the slight chill. Windows could be opened, plus you could retire to the back of the Lily for open air viewing. Lewis and Debbie served as our jaunting car team. It was a lovely ride through the park with Lewis providing an informative commentary. This is my second ride in a jaunting cart and notice our ride with Lewis and Debbie was much smoother. Kudos to both,

Lovely Boat Trip - A really lovely boat trip! The guide was very knowledgeable and funny, he kept us engaged throughout. Also a super comfortable boat, it keeps the elements at bay whether its sunny or cold! Very much worth the ticket price, thank you!

Put it on your bucket list. - Took the Lily of Killarney Tour only. Absolute great experience with Cathal as tour guide an Aisling who greeted us getting on the boat. Cathal kept it interesting for the whole hour with his vast knowledge of the islands, his folklore tales an jokes. It was great value for money an would highly recommend it to anyone of any age. Just unfortunate I can only give 5 stars. 10/10.

1 hour very well spent - We took a trip on the boat tour and it was excellent. Really good value for money and the tour guide was extremely pleasant. His knowledge of the lakes and the area was very impressive and communicated equally impressively. Would highly recommend.

Great way to spend the morning. - Excellent trip. A very relaxing hour. Danny was very informative and had the perfect mix of telling us about the points of interest around the lake but also allowing us to take in the spectacular scenery.

Excellent day trip - The Lily of Killarney was very clean and spacious, everyone was seated with a row of seats between groups. Very professional set up. Unobtrusive commentary throughout. Lasts around an hour. The jaunting car was waiting for us just over the bridge. Michael, our jarvey, took us through the national park. He was very chatty and included the whole party in conversation. Great day trip. Highly recommended

Relaxing and Picturesque - Lovely relaxing hour around Lough Leane, the largest of the three lakes in Killarney. Nicely paced, plenty of chances for photos. Tour guide Cathal very informative , easy going and approachable. Assistant Aisling was friendly also. The boat is spacious and comfortable. So nice to be by the water especially in warm weather. Got a chance to see the infamous White Tailed Eagles that are around the area. A chick by the shore and an adult gliding from tree to tree The info provided was mainly about flora and fauna, islands, legends etc. Some more info would've been nice to keep things flowing but as I said the guides welcomed any questions. I would definitely recommend.

Happy to do it. - We were looking for alternative things to do on our recent trip to Killarney. Covid19 guidelines were met and felt very safe. We set out a gorgoues day which was brilliant and helps the experience. I did expect there to be a bit more of a historical theme to the island (folklore, old Ireland stories etc) but it is more revolved around the physical landscape (rocks, plantlife). Personally, wasn't of interest to us. However the views are beautiful and a very nice experience.

Very poor customer service - Arrived on time but the boat was casting off and the driver refused to let us on even though we had Pre booked.
