- Perfect tour for good weather and bad as the boat is covered so you are sheltered from the elements. This was a great way to see the park from a very unique angle.

Very enjoyable hour. - We had family home from Australia and we all really enjoyed the trip even though the weather was not the best. I would recommend doing it as it gives you a bit of history about the lake and surrounding area.

Fourth trip in a row and love it - The one hour cruise is very relaxing. The staff are nice and very chilled. We do this trip almost every time we visit Killarney as my kids love it.

Great calm ride - Very smooth, calm ride on this beautiful sunny day. I am usually sea sick, but not at all today. On very windy days however, apparently the waves get bigger. Loved our young captain!

- We loved the views, they were so beautiful. The tour guide was brilliant. The down side, we didn't appreciate Daniel O'Donnell's singing.

Not so great - It’s a bit boring. Maybe they couldn’t go faster but it is a very slow boat ride. The driver/guide also didn’t talk much. It would have been so much better if he gave more information. We would love to know history about Killarney, the area, or anything. Also, will they would make change. I needed water but wasn’t spending 20 € on a bottle. Suggestions would be a bar, faster boat and more commentary.

No absolute "must-do" - Unspectacular boat trip with an old "water bus". Rather not pre-book online, but take one of the many smaller motorboats waiting for passengers near the Garden csfes on site. Their tour seems more interesting. Or take a boat tour at the smaller Muckross Lake.
