Explore Lismore

Absolutely worth your time and money. Robert is an absolute delight and the afternoon was a delight.

We had an amazing tour of Lismore with Robert today. He is so knowledgeable about the history of the island not to mention all the residents! He booked a table for us at the cafe, had tea and sweets ready and just made us feel so welcome. We also had a wonderful demonstration with Arthur who showed us how he works his three dogs to herd his sheep and told us all about the sheep breeds and how to work the dogs. What an amazing day. If you are in the area, make sure to book the tour with Robert and add on Arthur as well!

The highlight of our entire vacation!We stayed at The Pierhouse Hotel in Port Appin so it was a quick & easy ferry crossing over to the Isle of Lismore. Robert picked us up & took us on a tour & we quickly fell in love with the island. We had a wonderful tea & cake stop (delicious) from the back of his Land Rover before being dropped at the Isle of Lismore Cafe & Lismore Gaelic Heritage Centre for lunch & time to explore. The sandwiches & cakes at the cafe were so good. After that, we met up with Arthur for a shepherding tour. What an experience! He was so knowledgeable & friendly & his 3 dogs were delightful. After the shepherding tour, Robert picked us up & drove us back to the ferry. Robert is a phenomenal tour guide.We would highly recommend this experience! It'll be tough to ever surpass the wonders of this day. We didn't want to leave!

We have booked Robert twice now to take our inexperienced group paddle boarding around the smaller islands around Lismore and we had a fantastic time. He picked us all up, took us to start location where all boards, safety equipment and suits supplied, training brief over and we were all happily in the water and heading off around the bay. Robert brought coffee and fresh cakes for us all and we pitched up on an island for lunch. Great value for money, great tuition and would definitely recommend using Explore Lismore as a great way to see the island or spending the day boarding.

Fantastic family tour of Lismore with our exceptional guide Robert, who was friendly, knowledgeable and really easy going. We had a few specific health requirements to be able to enjoy our 2 hour tour and nothing was too much trouble. Chatting to Iris before the tour was really helpful and her home baked carrot cakes were so delicious!If you'd like a taste of island life away from tourist traps, this is a must-do.

Can't recommend highly enough, we had an amazing tour of the island with Robert. He was so knowledgeable about the history, geology and life on Lismore Island. The picnic add on was just delicious. We had an amazing experience, we saw all the historic buildings, lots of fantastic wildlife and had fun on the bumpy shore road. So much fun and so informative.
