Perfect amount of activity for a family with young children. Horse drawn buggy ride was narrated by our driver, Michael. His lovely accent and manner was calming as we travelled through the wood forest of the National Park. We came upon deer, mother and baby, and other deer scattered in the woods and fields. Great ride with a mix of trotting, walking and pauses along the way. On to the boat ride, a covered roof and very steady boat with narration around the lake. The perfect amount of time for those who are not “tour” people.

Even in the wet this was a fantastic voyage. Our jaunting car guide Kyle was so nice and knowledgeable, he included conversation with our kids and was welcoming and relatable. Charlie is the best horse! Our boat ride was equally enjoyable, the weather changed in our favor, the clouds dispersed and the sun came out. We stepped right onboard, checked in, and learned so much about Lough Leane and its surroundings. Commentary was full of jokes, fun, and so much info. Great time, highly recommend!

Great tour! I booked it somewhat last minute for myself while my husband/son went golfing. The staff was very friendly, helpful and welcoming. Family owned business for five generations and the owner picked me up at my hotel when she learned I didn't have a car...she was short staffed that morning and still picked me up and even offered to bring me back to hotel after tour (I insisted on walking). She showed me where to get the boat, called ahead to make sure the captain looked out for me, and she was in touch with my jaunting car driver too...above and beyond service!

Both tours shared a lot of Irish history and culture. The boat ride on the lake was relaxing but the jaunting car ride had beautiful scenery and our driver (Kyle) was great!
