Traveler reviews
An experience we will never forget
We had an amazing trip with Mike to Inisfallen Island. He was extremely friendly and understanding with my little boy who is Autistic. Everything was calm and relaxing and my little lad had a great time as it was his first time on a boat. I was very nervous as I wasn’t sure how it would go or if he would even get on the boat but on the way back he was content that he even sat beside Mike and drove the boat with him. I would highly recommend and we will definitely be back. I never write reviews but I felt it was important to write this one and to let others with neurodiverse children/family members know.
Wonderful boat outing to Innisfallen!
It wasn’t a great weather day, but not bad, and we were the only two on the outing! Michael gave us a great overview of the history of the area and the island. We docked and walked around, it was beautiful and peaceful, we had the whole island to ourselves! The views across the lake and motoring back towards the castle were just beautiful. Absolutely worth it!
Friendly, Funny, and Full of Local Knowledge
We had a great experience with Mike taking us over to Innisfallen Island. The boat ride was smooth, and Mike was very friendly and welcoming from the start. Communication was excellent — he even called us about fifteen minutes before our tour to make sure we knew exactly where to park and how to find him. He shared a lot of interesting information about the island and the surrounding area of the park, which made the trip even more enjoyable. Mike also has a great sense of humor — he reminded us of someone’s ornery uncle who likes to pull your leg in the best way possible. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
Peaceful island and beautiful views
A lovely trip to the island . A short journey across the lake to get to the site of a ruined Abbey. Our skipper Diarmud was very knowledgeable and told us about the history and geology. The island is peaceful and we wandered around and found the herd of deer that live here.
Great time!
Beautiful trip! Tony was awesome! Highly recommend the 7pm tour if you’re looking for a more relaxed experience and a beautiful sunset :)
