Nice boat tour

It was the perfect length of a boat tour around the island. Our guide dealt with the choppy waters due to the winds very well. She made sure to point out all animals in sight and gave us pointers on where to look along with the facts about the species.

Informative and fun experience

We had such a great experience with Irelands Eyes Ferries. Shane was a fun, informative guide but also sensitive to the fact that we were spreading my Mum’s ashes. Would highly recommend their service and enjoyed seeing around Irelands Eye.

Boat tour just fine

Was a pretty un-eventful boat ride ... just around the island. It was beautiful, but was hoping to see cliffs as listed.

Guide very knowledgeable

This is a small boat tour with a local guide. He was very knowledgeable of the area and stopped in areas to let us get a look at the sea lions and water foul. Tour lasts approx 50 min. Boat holds 14, so very intimate.

Really fun experience!...

Really fun experience! May get a little wet on the boat, but definitely worth it. The captain was great as well.
