It was the perfect day on the lake! Our guide was super cool and knowledgeable. The water was way warmer than we thought too.
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
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.
Very intelligent guide who provided fun details about local agriculture and plant life. Very easy row for all skill levels
Had a great tour guide. Did his best with the rainy weather. He was very informative and charismatic. Overall had a great time.
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!
Really enjoyed this activity. Having a knowledgeable and informative guide who was also a really nice man added to the fun. I would have no hesitation at all in recommending Mick and this most enjoyable tour to any other visitor travelling to Killarney. 5 star.
Very Good tour guide. Even if we were beginners The guide explained a lot on the ireland past in term of nature. Very interesting Highly recommended
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.
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.
We had a great time kayaking on the lake with our great tour guides. The tour guides took pictures of us but unfortunately we never received them.
We had a great time kayaking with Mick and Grace! Mick is a great story teller and shared his knowledge of the local history, geography, and nature. I would highly recommend this fun outing to everyone from expert to beginner!
Kayaking with Vivian was an absolute delight! Vivian was extremely knowledgeable about the areas we paddled through describing the geology, biology, and local history covering everything you would like to know about Lough Leane and the Killarney National Park. Everything you would need is provided for the trip including kayak, paddle, wetsuit, and a light rain jacket, so all you really need to bring is a swimsuit, appropriate shirt, shoes you don't mind getting a little wet (getting in and out of the kayak), and a bottle of water. The paddle was a comfortable 2 hour outing, so we were really able to focus on the amazing scenery, and have great conversations all along the way. Vivian was so incredibly personable, it made the whole experience feel like a fun outing with a great friend! I would highly recommend you add this excursion to your visit to Killarney as it offers a great way to get another perspective on this amazing region of Ireland. -Don
It was an amazing tour, our guide, Mik, was brilliant, telling us all the interesting bits about the lake and the history, a one life experience!
Liked the two coaches..friendly and helpful and knowledgeable ..good atmosphere created and very enjoyable 2 and half hours
Les guides étaient très attentionnés et donnaient beaucoup d'information. Le rythme était lent, ce qui peut plaire à desgens ayant peu d'expérience de kayak, mais pour nous (qui avont de l'expérience) on aurait aimé aller plus loin sur le lac afin d'en voir plus.
Excursión muy entretenida por las islas cerca del castillo. El guía, muy bueno y explicaciones claras y detalladas del Castillo y su entorno. Una manera de hacer deporte y de ver ese maravilloso entorno desde otra perspectiva.
