Best day of the trip - Everyone agreed this was the best. Mike was a great tour guide and gave us good recs for where to rent bikes. It was a fun adventure even when we got out to meet the boat on the other side of the bridge. Would highly recommend! Defintely pack lots of layers and a raincoat.

Excellent experience! Will definitely be back! - Amazing day out. A group of approx 20 went out on the lakes with Mike amd Tony (2 boats) for a 40th birthday yesterday. Mike was our skipper. His knowledge of the lakes is second to none. We had great fun. A day to remember. Would highly recommend.

100% recommend. Fantastic trip! - This was a brilliant day trip. Myself and my family began this trip in Ross Castle and ended in Brandon’s Cottage. The views on the way up through the lakes and river were spectacular, we loved going through the river near the top of the lakes. We also spotted an eagle on the way up which was very cool! The boat driver was very kind, knowledgeable and made the journey extremely enjoyable and fun. I would recommend this trip with this company to anyone visiting Killarney and we are going to be sure to make it a tradition every summer!

A fantastic day crossing the lakes of Killarney with Ross Castle boat tours - My friends and I booked with Mike Fleming who was absolutely amazing as our boatman on the lake. He had his fantastic assistant Dean with him and gave us great info about the lake and the flora and fauna.
We were a group of girls on a day out in Killarney and got the boat with Mike from the pier at Ross Castle to Lord Brandon‘s cottage at the Gap of Dunloe, here we got off the boat and had coffees and some rest, before walking through the Gap of Dunloe to Kate Kearneys cottage.

Grand… be sure to dress for the possible weather changes - We had a rainy windy boat and hike trip, but it was still beautiful and wonderfully memorable. All of the boatsmen were encouraging cheerful and so accommodating. Next time, I would book it with one of the local sites next time, like O’Connors who coordinate pick up at the end and bring you back to town.ours did not include this and the cab for return charged E50. Highly recommend this , esp if it’s a fair weather day. Jaunty cart fellows were great also
