The no. 1 day tour in Killarney… for 250 years!

Other Activities

Other activites (for groups only) offered by Killarney Day Tour include:

Boat trips to O’Sullivan’s Cascade
O’Sullivan’s Cascade is a quiet, secluded cascade on the southern shore of Killarney’s Lower Lake, Loch Léin. A popular tourist spot in Victorian Times, the area can also be visited via Tomies Wood.

Inisfallen Island
Some of the most impressive archaeological remains in Killarney date from early Christian times, and the most important of these is the ruined monastery found on Inisfallen Island in Lough Léin. This monastery was founded in the 7th century by St. Finian the Leper, and was occupied for approximately 700 years. Over a period of about 300 of these, the ‘Annals of Inisfallen’ were written, which chronicle the early history of Ireland as it was known to the monks. The Annals are therefore an extremely important manuscript, and the original copy is kept in a controlled atmosphere in the Bodleian Library in Oxford. The monastery here is also thought to have given rise to the name Lough Léin, which means “Lake of Learning”. We run boat trips to Inisfallen on a regular basis. For more information please contact us.

Fishing Tours
It is possible to rent a boat and driver for fishing tours throughout the summer season. This tour depends on availability and weather conditions. There is a maximum number of 3 anglers per boat. Prices include the rental of fishing gear and tackle. Tours come in the form of a full day of half day’s fishing.

Muckross House
Tours from Ross Castle to visit the famous Muckross House and Gardens can be arranged. It is possible also to arrange collection for groups from Muckross House where a tour can be arranged of the house and a meal after in the restaurant with views of the famous gardens.

Our guide/boat man was very informative, friendly and skilled at handling the boat. The scenery was stunning and we were lucky with the weather after all the rain the previous day.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gap of Dunloe was oneof the best day tours I experienced in Ireland. The bus picks you up from accessible hotels, and you can walk over the Gap of Dunloe or ride in a horse and carriage which is quite a treat. Then it is onto the boats through the Killarney Lakes, a view of Ross Castle before getting back on a bus to tour end. Romantic and varied scenery. Knowledgeable, local guides.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my girlfriend went for the boat trip from Ross Castle to Lord Brandon's cottage with our bikes so we could cycle through the gap of dunloe afterwards. We never imagined such beautiful scenery on our boat tour and our guide was a top notch lad who made our trip better, clearly a local who is passionate about Killarney's unique nature and very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor.
Definitely our best part of this trip.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The scenery is stunning and well worth the hike and boat trip. The actual tour organisation was very shoddy, having to first meet at a hotel just out of town and then change buses back in town anyway!
Would have liked more time to undertake the hike so as to savour the beautiful views rather than feeling rushed to get to the boats on time - maybe we could have started an hour earlier ?

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They allowed us to cancel mere hours before the tour was supposed to start, because of a medical emergency on our side. The man on the phone was kind and understanding, and just for that, they deserve five stars. Thank you again.
