The Gap of Dunloe ganztägige Tour ab Killarney

A faire absolument lors de votre visite de la région ! Cette excursion permet de voir des paysages grandioses (même sous la pluie ????), des montagnes aux lacs, en une journée. Très bien organisée par Deros. Merci !

Gap of Dunloe- can not recommend this tour if traveling solo and plan to use the jaunting cart. When we got to the site where they separate the group into carts, they were mostly taking pairs or even numbers. I was told each time, just wait we will get you into the next cart. Until there were no more carts. Each time a cart would leave the next guy would say, we will get you sorted. Until I was literally left standing alone on the curb. I had to ask out loud “am I just going to be left here?” My tour driver was no where in sight and the carts had left. The driver was still around but he was talking and walking around. He didn’t come over to try and help get a cart situated. Luckily a family of three came up so they got another cart ready. All was good until at the exact top of the mountain, the cart driver realized the family of three was not going to the boats. They had paid to go up and down again. So I was told, you’ll have to get out and into another cart. I was 3.5 miles up, in pouring rain and wind. I definitely started freaking out and the cart driver was like, another cart will come. So I said “you’re going to leave me at the top of a mountain alone?????”. So he said I could get back in the cart until another cart came and he would wait for me. I chose to stand outside, but he did wait with me from inside the cart. 5 minutes later a cart came by, but was full. It had 4 people from the tour group in it. So they kept on going. About 10 minutes later a cart came (no one from my tour group). They let me squeeze in and luckily they were all super nice and the driver was kind and understood. He said they never left people behind, I was like well someone should have explained that instead of me being the one to have to get out and find a new cart. The boat ride and views both on the cart were amazing. But I’d never attempt this as a solo traveler. I don’t expect to be taken care of or receive special treatment, but I also don’t expect to be left first on a sidewalk alone and then 3.5 miles up a mountain. I also did the Ring of Kerry tour the day before and it was really good.

This was a great tour and we throughly enjoyed it. The Gap of Dunloe was beautiful. We took the Jaunty Car (horse drawn buggy) and it was fun and then the boat ride back to Ross Castle. There was also an option to walk but you had to finish the 7 mile walk within 2.5 hours and there was significant elevation gain. I have some suggestions. The Jaunty Car rides need to be explained better or you should provide a website with details. It is a rough ride, at steepest hill, you have to get out of the car (carriage) and walk about a 1/2 mile on a very steep hill….we were fine, but if you didn’t know and had mobility issues it would be hard….also, the cost and details of the jaunty is for 4 people (€35 so if you have only 3 people you have to wait for a single to join or pay for an empty seat). So, again, I thought this was a fantastic experience but just needed more information provided.
