Great One Hour Tour - We pre-booked this and sailed with Frank, who piloted the boat. It was a one hour tour of the lake and Frank was very knowledgeable about the area and had a great sense of humor. My wife and I really enjoyed it.

Great boat trip well worth a visit - We had a lovely time on this boat trip yesterday with Captain Danny. He was very informative and the glorious weather made it a great trip. I loved being able to get out on the back deck to take photos and get some fresh air. We thought it was good value at €12 for adults for a 1 hour trip. I’d highly recommend this trip as part of a visit to Killarney.

Beautiful Lake tour - This was a beautiful trip, the weather was amazing so we sat out the back of the boat and the scenery and views were spectacular. One of the 2 staff members also came out the back and gave us some great info of the sorounding scenery which was great because as we sat outside we could not hear the commentary. I would recommend this trip, and great value too.

Lovely Lake - Nice 1 hour boat trip around the lake. 15 euros per adult, we just turned up and paid Paul the driver.
He gave a good talk about the lake, fish, Queen Victoria and the history of the National Park and how it came into existence.
There are no toilets or refreshments on the boat.
It's enclosed so no issues with the rain.

Great for adults, but not young kids - Lovely hour long cruise. The guides were engaging to listen to, and very informative. We had our 2 x young kids with us who just weren’t into it at all. There were 2 x rows of families with young children sitting in front of us and their kids were all the same, weren’t interested in it at all. The kids all found it very boring which made it difficult for the adults to enjoy. Definitely more suitable for adults. If you have young kids I would give it a miss .
