Book this experience!!! - Mike is a fantastic guide! He is so knowledgeable about the park and the island. We got to spend some extra time exploring as we were the only ones who booked that morning. It is so beautiful and especially watching the deer roam around. I cant recommend this highly enough!! If you are thinking about booking just do it! 10/10!

Personalized and informative tour with fabulous guide! - Michael was our tour guide and he was outstanding!! We went out early in the morning and even though we were the only two in the boat he still took us out. When we got to the island we were the only ones there - such a peaceful, serene and sacred experience. Thank you, Michael, for your kind and informative, tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland.

Try it at least once! - It was quiet so I had the entire boat and most of the trip to myself, Mike (the guide) was very kind and would sing sometimes on our way over to the island. The island itself was so beautiful and had so much history

A must do... - Booked the boat tour not knowing what to expect. When we arrived Charlie had given us instruction on where to go. Mike was waiting for us and what an exceptional tour guide he was. My mother who has walking issues was helped on the boat and made feel very safe and secure. We had spots of rain that day but Mike was ready for it all. He had umbrellas and covers for everyone on board. Mike gave us his years of knowledge of the island and delivered the history behind Innisfallan with extreme detail. I would recommend anyone wanting to immerse them selves in irish history take this tour as Mike delivers an experience you will both enjoy and remember. Thanks for a great tour Mike it was our pleasure to sail with you. Amanda

Pleasant surprise! - My wife and our two boys (15,12) had a wonderful time with Mike. He was an excellent tour guide and gave us a great tour of the lake and told us about local history as well. The boat was clean and well maintained and the island was just gorgeous! Just enough time of the island to walk the trail the circles the little island and see the monastery. Very peaceful and serene. Even our boys said it was one of their favorite parts of the trip! Very cool to see such an old part of history. Thanks again Mike for the great experience!

Great value and an easy way to see a bit of the area on the lake and take in some of the history. - Good price for a short boat trip. The island was great to see with the deer and the ancient ruins. Mike was great captain who shared lots of information and is clearly very proud of Killarney, the nature of the park and the surrounding area. Thanks Mike and PS - we managed get a glimpse of the Eagles during our later trip through the woods.

Great time with Michael on the boat out to the island. - Visiting Innisfallen Island is like stepping into a myth. Imagining monks from almost a 1000 years ago walking the same paths around the island, you can't help but feel transported. The kids liked it most of any place we went - said it reminded them of Zelda Breath of the Wild :). Michael was a wonderful boat guide - very kind, very informative, very humorous. Highly recommended.
