The Gap of Dunloe day tour is a journey which encompasses Killarney’s entire National Park. During the tour, guests will see such sights as the Gap of Dunloe, the Old Weir Bridge and Ross Castle. The tour involves 3 separate stages: 1. Bus Transport from our office at the Old Weir Lodge on Muckross Road, Killarney to Kate Kearney’s Cottage at the beginning of the Gap of Dunloe. 2. Travel through the world famous glacial valley that is the Gap of Dunloe. Horse and carriage transport is available to rent (extra payable directly to the ponyman) when you arrive at Kate Kearney’s Cottage. Alternatively, you can walk through the ‘Gap’. 3. Boat transport through the National Park with one of our experienced Drivers. The boat tour brings you through the lakes and rivers of the Park. A guided tour by the driver full of folklore and legends will ensure a memorable day for all ages. Note: depending on water levels, a moderate walk through an uneven wooded area may be required.

This was a fabulous day. I loved the boat trip through the lakes and the jaunty cart ride through the Gap of Dunloe. Both were spectacular. My boat guide and my jaunty cart driver were so nice, informative and personable. It was a memorable day!

Loved this adventure to gap of Dunloe it was the best part of our trip to Ireland. The boat ride was also so amazing. The staff were all so kind and professional. Would highly recommend this adventure for anyone visiting. The only advice would be that the boat driver we had while so so kind, did speak a lot and when doing so would stop the boat so guests could hear him. However in doing this so often we went from being one of the first boats to depart to being the last boat to arrive at the castle. As a result we had little time to visit the castle as our bus driver was waiting for us to board.

It was a must do trip. Boat guide, David, was informative and funny. Buggy ride was fun but wouldn't recommend for anyone with back problems
