We booked a tour and picnic on Inishlacken and highly recommend this service to anyone living in or visiting the area. Damian is a lovely, knowledgeable guide and skipper and the Ben Baun is a fantastic little boat. The food was exceptional and beautifully presented with many thoughtful details added (china plates, real cutlery, a selection of drinks, etc.). Damian has just the right touch with children as well, patiently helping them fish or hold some of the creatures that come up in the lobster pots. This is a must do experience for anyone - local or visitor - who wants to relax and enjoy Roundstone and Inishlacken. Supporting a stellar local entrepreneur makes it even better!

We had an amazing afternoon touring the bay in the Benbaun before Damien dropped us off on Inishlacken, a little gem of an island with Caribbean-like white sand and turquoise water. Damien was a great skipper, full of local knowledge and a good laugh.An unforgettable day! Highly recommend this to bring your Roundstone experience to the next level.

Damien was brilliant! The tour was great, he is so knowledgeable about the area, pointed out loads of great walking trails and gave us some history of the island! We had a great time, we did it last summer so this was our second time with him and it definitely won’t be our last!

Damien and Max the dog brought us out for a fabulous tour around the bay, pulling up losbter pots, which the kids really enjoyed even the scary spider crabs. He then dropped us off on beautiful Inishlackan to enjoy the deserted white sand beach! Highly recommend!

Had a great local experience with Damian. He showed the Roundstone water perspective culminating in a visit to an island with the best beach we have seen Europe. The day was great so we even had a chilly dip. The local lobsters are a sight behold too.

Outstanding time with Damien. This was by far the best part of Roundstone! The island walkabout was exciting, as was the boat ride and Damien's knowledge of the area. The kids enjoyed pulling up some lobster pots, and he had some fishing kit for the kids. They managed to catch a small mackerel which Damien gutted for them. He even let them take turns driving the boat for a bit. We enjoyed our time with him, he was great craic!

Afternoon in paradise. Damien was a very friendly and flexible guide. Our 2 boys loved seeing the giant starfish and crab that had been caught. We were very blessed with the weather, the beach on Inishlackan Island looked like the Caribbean. Would recommend this tour.

Great experience with Damien. From the first phonecall booking the trip to getting off the boat Damien was so professional and courteous. He also had all the knowledge of the area and our kids loved seeing the lobsters and how the boat operated. Simply a must if your in Roundstone.
