One of my favorite parts of my visit!! Beautiful boat trip and Inisfallen was stunning. Happened upon a herd of red deer, including stag. It was very peaceful as we were the only ones there. Great stories and history shared during the boat trip. Absolutely recommend!

A last minute decision to take a boat ride was the best part of our day! Departing from Ross Castle, Mike was so nice and gave us all kinds of information about the area during the trip. Went over to Innisfallen Island and he walked us around the monastery, sharing bits of history and taking our picture for us. Then back in the boat and he dropped us at Muckross House & Gardens, walking us up to be sure we found the entrance. Well worth the cost per person and on a nice day, the perfect way to spend a couple of hours. Highly recommend.

Very intimate tour in a small boat, the guide was very knowledgeable about the area and we had a brilliant conversation with him during the trip. You are left to tour the island on your own and it was a beautiful place, very relaxing to walk around the island

Mike is a fantastic guide! He is so knowledgeable about the park and the island. We got to spend some extra time exploring as we were the only ones who booked that morning. It is so beautiful and especially watching the deer roam around. I cant recommend this highly enough!! If you are thinking about booking just do it! 10/10!

Michael was our tour guide and he was outstanding!! We went out early in the morning and even though we were the only two in the boat he still took us out. When we got to the island we were the only ones there - such a peaceful, serene and sacred experience. Thank you, Michael, for your kind and informative, tour. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Ireland.

It was quiet so I had the entire boat and most of the trip to myself, Mike (the guide) was very kind and would sing sometimes on our way over to the island. The island itself was so beautiful and had so much history

Booked the boat tour not knowing what to expect.
When we arrived Charlie had given us instruction on where to go. Mike was waiting for us and what an exceptional tour guide he was. My mother who has walking issues was helped on the boat and made feel very safe and secure. We had spots of rain that day but Mike was ready for it all. He had umbrellas and covers for everyone on board.
Mike gave us his years of knowledge of the island and delivered the history behind Innisfallan with extreme detail.
I would recommend anyone wanting to immerse them selves in irish history take this tour as Mike delivers an experience you will both enjoy and remember.
Thanks for a great tour Mike it was our pleasure to sail with you.
