A tour worth the money! - This tour was great! The weather wasn't very good (cold and rainy), but our guide was outstanding. We were the only three on the tour. He gave us so much information and took us into some caves. Highly recommend!

Truly an incredible experience! - This tour was excellent from start to finish. The company owners were kind through our booking, generous with their local expertise, and so wonderful to talk to. The guides (Gary and Tadhg) were entertaining, helpful, and knowledgeable. Kids and adults alike had a blast, and we loved the variety of experiences this one tour gave us (a little adventure, physical exercise, stunning views, education, and a swim.

Easy-Going Rowing - Pleasant and fun. Great views from the lake. Not overly taxing/very fun. The guides were entertaining with the local folklore. Great fun with our 13 and 15 year old. They have wetsuits but we were okay with getting a bit wet as you do on the water.

Amazing fun paddle in Killarney National Park! - Kayaking with Vivian was an absolute delight! Vivian was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we paddled through describing the geology, biology, and local history covering everything you would like to know about Lough Leane and the Killarney National Park. Everything you would need is provided for the trip including kayak, paddle, wetsuit, and a light rain jacket, so all you really need to bring is a swimsuit, appropriate shirt, shoes you don't mind getting a little wet (getting in and out of the kayak), and a bottle of water. The paddle was a comfortable 2 hour outing, so we were really able to focus on the amazing scenery, and have great conversations all along the way. Vivian was so incredibly personable, it made the whole experience feel like a fun outing with a great friend! I would highly recommend you add this excursion to your visit to Killarney as it offers a great way to get another perspective on this amazing region of Ireland. -Don
