Killarney, Ireland

1 hour 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Beautiful guided tour through the 3 Lakes of Killarney. Guests will enjoy 90 minutes of the best of Killarney's scenery. Boat departs from Ross Castle on Killarneys lower lake and brings guests on a meandering tour through Lakes, rivers and bridges to the upper lake. Your captain will regale you with stories and history and apply Irish wit at times to ensure you leave with a mind of information but also a smile on your face. This tour allows guests see Ross Castle, Brickeen Bridge, Dinis Cottage, the Meeting of the Waters, The Old Weir Bridge and Lord Brandon's Cottage. While navigating the Lakes and rivers, it is also likely you will encounter Red and Sike Deer as well as our famous White Tailed Sea Eagles. This really is a see it all tour and is highly recommended. Once guests are dropped to Lord Brandon's Cottage they can walk, cycle or enjoy a daunting car ride through the world famous Gap of Dunloe.
