Wonderful Trip

Our bus driver, John Hardigan, picked us up at O'Connor's Traditional Pub in Killarney. We had parked our car 5 min away in public parking. He then drove us to Kate Kearney's Cottage where we began our hike of the Gap of Dunloe. Our boat guide waited patiently for us as we were 20 minutes late. He then narrated a gorgeous tour through the 3 lakes back to Ross Castle, where our bus driver met us and took us back to O'Connor's Traditional Pub. He handed me written contact information for local Irish relatives I had told him about. We later met with them due to his helpful information!

Memorable day!
Had a great time with this tour. The mountain views were surreal. The atmosphere at Lord Brandon's Cottage was incredible. And the boat ride through the lakes was enjoyable with very beautiful sights of the mountains.

We love this tour! After 2017, we repeated it in 2025! The boat trip across the Killarney Lakes is impressive! The hike through the Gap of Dunloe too! We will do it again next time we visit Killarney!

A little slice of heaven
The morning was pouring rain so we were a bit nervous about the 1.5 hour boat ride but by the time the tour started, the rain had stopped and there were rainbows everywhere. The water level was high from all of the recent rain so we only traversed 2 of the 3 lakes. Arrived at the landing for a cup of tea before climbing into the jaunting car. The horse's name was Bob. The scenery was spectacular. A warm fire and good food at Kate Kearney's cottage was a lovely end of the tour before the bus driver drove me back to the B&B where I was staying. A lovely day all around.

We walked the Gap on a simply marvelous day. Gap of Dunlop tours makes getting there and back easy, informative and most enjoyable. Delightful people. I would say this is a must do. After an incredible walk up and thru the gap, the relaxing boat trip back was equally enjoyable. Five stars all the way around.

It Just Doesn't Get Any Better Than This
Call it the luck of the Irish, but when Mike and Crazy Tom the Horse offered to take three of my girlfriends and me through the Gap of Dunloe in his jaunting cart, I knew we were in for a great experience. It was better than I could have imagined! Mike entertained us the entire way with stories, tales, insights and observations about the Gap and the area. Our conversation started when I asked how long he'd been doing this. "My first day...my first day on the job. 007 license to kill." I knew then we were in for a treat and I was right. Mike stopped at several prime spots along the ... read more.

Myself and a friend did this back in July and had an amazing time. Everything was well organised and the views were unbelievable! Our boat operator was very friendly, gave us some fascinating history of the lakes and was so helpful in directing us once we reached the end point. Thanks again for a very memorable experience 🙂
