I can't believe I haven't written any reviews about my trip to Ireland yet. This was one of my favorite vacations, and always will be. I can't wait to go back. It rained quite a bit while we were there, but we lucked out with some sun when we went to Innisfallen. A short boat ride will get you there,... More

We decided to have one of the local small boats take us to the island. Our captain and tour guide was very informative and gave us all the time that we wanted to see the island and pointed out some special sights to see. The ruins are still in wonderful condition and the Celtic Cross recovered from teh bottom of... More

My friend and I went over to the island on the traditional boat ride. We had the boat all to ourselves. The ride over and back was the highlight since the boat driver gave us a history of the island and the surrounding park. Half hour on the island is plenty of time although it would have been nice for... More

Inisfallen is a beautiful Island that not only inspired ancient monks and historians, but its majectic ruins are an inspiration today. It is worth visiting on a quite day. Make sure to take plenty of time. Brng insect repellent and remeber that there are no facilities on the Island!

My husband and I went here first thing in the morning. We rented a rowboat out (10 euros a piece for the ride to and from and a half hour to explore the island) and walked around the ruins and the whole edge of the island. Actually wish we had haggled with the boat driver for a little more time... More

He said the name of his boat means "The Water Dog", or otter as I know it. He was so funny (told us many jokes) and made us forget about the poor weather. Before we went on the Island, he told us what to visit and its significance. He even gave up his umbrella so we wouldn't get wet! How... More

Very peaceful and historically interesting venue. A short trip out from Ross Castle by boat. Boatmen are flexible about the return trip. There is limited information on the island itself so bring some reference info or have it online!

Innisfallen was my favorite part of our 11 days in Ireland. Read a little about the history of the place before you go to enhance your experience/understanding of the site. The atmosphere is so peaceful, quite and timeless. I felt very moved to be standing on the island where the famous Brian Boru was educated. We were lucky to see... More

This was one of the highlights of our stay in Killarney. The boatman who will take you to Innisfallen Island are on the far side of Ross Castle. The cost for my husband & I was 20 euro. When we got to the island, the boatman gave us about 30 minutes. The day was a bit overcast & we were... More
