Well worth doing - Everything was great! Didn't get the captains name, chap maybe in his 60's, he was witty, informative, efficient and the while experience was brilliant. The lake and surrounding scenery is magnificent. For €17 each for nearly one hour (less for kids and pensioners), this is very good value.

Great cruise. - Very enjoyable cruise, the young guy doing the commentary was very informative and entertaining. The boat was very stable, two of us are not particularly good on boats but there was no rocking or pitching at all. Very relaxing and good value for money.

Didn’t seem to want any passengers - We tried to do this tour today at 2.30pm but were left stranded at the wharf. We were there at least 15 mins ahead, queuing where the sign indicated. A guy who worked with the boat snatched the sign and took it with him onto the boat and shut a gate about 10 mins prior to the scheduled departure. We expected he would come and get us when it was close to time, but no - they just took off at 2.25. We could then see they had 4 passengers on board. It was pretty obvious we were waiting to board. Really disappointing start to our stay in Killarney.
