    We organized a group outing with some friends, including a few members with special access needs, and the Lough Ree Access For All Boat Tour exceeded all our expectations! The boat was spacious, and the staff made sure everyone felt comfortable and involved. We learned so much about the local wildlife and history, all while taking in the serene beauty of Lough Ree. It was a wonderful experience that brought our group closer together. 10/10!

    Our family had the most amazing time on the Lough Ree Access For All Boat Tour. It was truly a special day out, especially for my grandmother who uses a wheelchair. The boat is beautifully designed to accommodate everyone comfortably, and the crew was so helpful and welcoming. We all got to enjoy the stunning views of Lough Ree, and my grandmother felt fully included in every aspect of the trip. We canโ€™t recommend it enough.
