Gap of Dunloe Cycle (bådtransport)
Beskrivelse
Dette er transport for 1 passager og deres cykel gennem de 3 søer i Killarney National Park. Bådene forlader Ross Castle kun kl. 10.30 hver morgen og rejser til Lord Brandon's Cottage i Gap of Dunloe. Highlights langs vejen omfatter et besøg i Innisfallen Island for at se det 7. århundrede klosterruiner og chancen for at se nogle af vores hvide tailed Eagles. Afstanden fra Lord Brandon's Cottage til Killarney er 25km, cyklister bør være opmærksomme på nogle stejle stigninger og fald. Den gode nyhed er, at det ikke er et løb! Efter at have spist frokost på Lord Brandon's Cottage, cyklister kan rejse gennem Gap of Dunloe på deres fritid. Stop for at have en drink på Kate Kearney's Cottage anbefales helt sikkert, før du fortsætter til Killarney. Dette er en fantastisk måde at se Dunloes gap i dit eget tempo. Bemærk venligst, at cykeludlejning ikke er inkluderet i turen, og heller ikke cykelguiden. Passagerer skal sikre deres egen cykeludlejning i Killarney før de fortsætter til Ross Castle.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Vores tur starter på Ross Castle, 2 km fra Killarney. Slottet var fæstningen for familien O'Donoghue i det 14. århundrede og ligger på bredden af Lough Léin. Selv om der ikke er gebyr for at gå rundt i slottet, er den guidede tur en ekstra gebyr, der skal betales i receptionen. Desværre Gæsterne vil ikke have tid til denne lejlighed til at gøre den fulde guidede tur før bådene afgår. Bådturen afgår kl. 10.30 fra den vigtigste sten pier på søsiden af slottet, holde øje med de grønne både og bede om Rory. Vær venlig at ankomme 15 minutter tidligt for at tillade tid til at indlæse cykler. Bemærk venligst; cykeludlejning er ikke inkluderet i turen. Gæsterne vil leje deres egne cykler i Killarney og gøre deres vej til Ross Castle. Der er ingen cykeludlejning på Ross Castle.
Det første stop på vores tur er klosteret på Innisfallen Island. Passagererne vil få en fuld historie af området fra deres bådfører og vil have 15 minutter til at udforske ruinerne.
Lough Leane er Killarneys største sø, og efter at bådene forlader Innisfallen Island, er næste stop Tomies Mountain. Der har været et nest af hvide havåger langs denne kyst i de sidste 18 år siden deres genindførelse i området. Disse Eagles er den største rovfugl i Europa og er fantastisk syn at se i naturen.
Når bådene forlader Lough Leane, vil de være på Muckross Lake og på vej mod mødet af vandet. Her kan gæsterne blive nødt til at komme ud for en 10 minutters skovbevokset gåtur for at lade bådene krydse et næsten grunt område.
Den afsondrede café på Lord Brandon's Cottage er slutpunktet for vores bådtur. Herfra vil gæsterne starte den 25 km cykel tilbage til Killarney. Turen er en forseglet vej, så vejen og efter 11 km passerer gæsterne ved Kate Kearney's Cottage, som er en berømt bar langs ruten. Bemærk venligst; måltider og snacks er ikke inkluderet i prisen for turen. På grund af den afsondrede beliggenhed blandt bakkerne accepterer Lord Brandon's Cottage kun kontanter.

The hottest day of the year and we’re on a boat with a plan to ride bikes back to Killarney. It was magical! Our boat Captain was funny and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Our day was planned around riding bikes through the Gap of Dunloe, but this boat transport became the rival highlight of the day. Rory was an incredible guide who made the 2 hour experience very enjoyable. We had the pleasure of making a quick stop along the way to explore the ruins of Innisfallen Monestary. We saw deer and learned about white tailed eagles as one flew directly overhead of our boat. Cafes are located both before and after the boat trip, making packing for the bike ride up to the head of the gap much more pleasant with a full belly. Thank you Rory!
Hi John, Thank you for your kind review. It was a real pleasure to meet you both. I'm delighted to hear that you enjoyed your day! Rory
Lads lads lads… hilarious and entertaining trip up the three lakes with our 3rd generation boatman. Highly recommend for the jokes alone
The boat ride was fabulous. The tour guide was great. The bike ride back through the gap to Killarney was fantastic. Awesome scenic views at every turn. Although I bike, I don't think I could have done it without the peddle asist/ebike. It might have made it even better. I didn't have to work for it.
A pure joy......three lakes personal tour with a real personality.Dermot is a stand up comedian filled with local knowledge and Irish charm....if that doesn't entertain you then daisy will......who is Daisy....that's for you to find out! The tour of the lakes surrounded with mountains is stunning. Destination are wonderful cakes and coffee. TAKE CASH.....I didn't do couldn't try them. If you are a average cyclist hire a bike. The climb up the gap is 15 minutes...of admiring the lake and chatting to the jolly jaunting carriage drivers on the way up....see how many you pass. When you get to the gap it is Special.....for a twenty minute climb you get a 30/40 descent.....despite the warnings if you have bike skills you can fly down.... pubs and café waiting.Then cycle around the lake through the woods right back where you started from. It is a festival of smiles and no Dermot is not my dad!!
Rory was our guide and ensured we had a terrific experience. The scenery from the boat is breathtaking and Rory provided lots of information about the area.
This was a fun trip with both a beautiful boat right and a fun bike ride back to town. Wear waterproof clothes for the boat ride because you do get wet. The bike with an electric bike is the only way I would do it, unless you are into cycling. There are some good climbs that is not for the faint of heart. Overall it was great experience.
Perfect combination Boat and Bike Tour possible. Experienced and friendly Guide. The Tour is Not easy to find on Tripadvisor nur i can really recommend it
Very nice Tour. Our boat guide was really knowledgeable and knew a lot about the flora and fauna. We even saw two eagles on the tour. Can really recommend it.
We had a fantastic tour on the boat with Rory. A really friendly welcome & help getting the bikes and us onto the boats. He then gave us a really interesting tour of the three lakes with a lot of facts and history - he also answered a lot of our questions so had a lot of knowledge! I would definitely recommend this company to any visitor to Killarney. The scenery was beautiful & breathtaking! I would highlight that the cycle up the gap of Dunloe involves a ~250m cycle ascent which we had to walk a lot of - if you're not sure about that then maybe best to hire an e-bike not a normal bike!
