Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Really enjoyed every minute of this 1 hour lake cruise with my 2 daughters. The captain made us feel so welcome and share his knowledge of the lakes in such a friendly and fun manner. We were even enough lucky to see an eagle in flight. We would recommend this cruise for any age.

A lovely relaxing hour to spend on the lakes of killarney .. The captain Frank and his assistant were really friendly and very informative about the area .. I've been on some tours where the guide doesn't stop talking and it takes away from the experiance but here you got plenty time to relax and chill out and still get plenty of information without the overkill ..
The boat is really clean ,bright and spacious and infection control and safety can be seen to be taken very seriously ...extremely comfortable and large windows which give a great view at all times ... I would highly recommend 10 /10 .. well worth it

This is without doubt a fantastic tour. The boat captain was excellent. His knowledge of the area was brilliant. The cost of the trip was 12 Euro and with every cent. I would recommend this tour to everyone.

It was the best boat trip I have made in my whole life! The boat driver was very informative and the tour was very interesting! He was even very kind to pick us from our hotel and drop us off. If I will ever be to Killarney again I will definitely do this trip again!

Yes you can. It is part of the Killarney national Park and dogs are very welcome in all parts of the park. Not sure if you can take a dog on the cruise boat though.
is a small pet allowed on tour
