While the Gap of Dunloe is an absolute gem, this whole trip was very chaotic and I would not recommend it.
The bus drops you off at the Gap around 11 am (why so late?) giving you only 3 hours to get to the boat on the other side of the gap - we almost had to run all the way, making no stops to admire the view, in order to be there on time. Since we're in our 30-thies we did succeed but none of our older fellow participants managed that and the boat left without them.
The guide from the boat was nice though, told us plenty of interesting facts and the boat ride itself was great.
However, no bus from Wild Kerry Tours awaited us at our final stop at Ross Castle even though they specifically told us in the morning we have to go straight to the bus park after we leave the boat.
Therefore my recommendation to you is: get to the gap by taxi, walk it by your own pace, book a return trip with the boat company but not with Wild Kerry Tours, they totally failed to deliver.
