One of our highlights of our trip. - Our guide Dermuid (please forgive incorrect spelling) was the absolute best. He was very knowledgeable and kind. I highly recommend this adventure. Ask for Dermuid if possible when booking. Shane & Gabby

Relaxed paddle around Killarney Lake - Lovely tour of Loch Leane - our guide was very friendly and informative both about the lake and Killarney itself, giving very useful recommendations for other things to do in the park. We had a very relaxed kayak despite the rain, and learned a lot about the different islands, plants and wildlife in the area. Everything needed was provided by the company so don't need to worry about bringing special equipment (just clothes to change into, and spare shoes for after). Overall great tour - nice seeing the park from a different perspective and learning more about the lake up close.

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.
