キラーニー発、ギャップ・オブ・ダンロー日帰りツアーとボートツアー

We booked the night before through our hotel: Dromhall in Killarney. It was a very short walk to the meet up point where Sheila was warm and helpful. Our wonderful driver/guide was Barry O’Connor. Barry was very informative, provided clear communication and was warm and welcoming. Our jaunty driver Dan and his beautiful horse Sam provided us with a great experience exploring the Gap of Dunloe. Our boat driver Cathal O’Connor was excellent. He provided us with a safe and informative boat ride and we could feel his passion for this beautiful place. A most memorable day! Thank you to everyone who contributed to our experience.

We had a wonderful visit! Night's were beautiful and everyone along the way were helpful and informative! Would definitely recommend.

I loved this - met the group in central Killarney, driven to the gap, walked the gap in (can take 2.5hrs), met up again with 10 of the group, then toured 3 Killarney lakes on a motorboat. Walk is easy with some inclines, could be challenging for some people, stunning views though. Loved the mix of solo walking followed by being part of a group of people I got along with and driven by 2 experienced and pleasant boaters.

This was an amazing experience, even on a cold and rainy/windy day. We did the horse and carriage ride, then the boat. Both guides were locals and very informative and entertaining, especially the boat captain. What we weren’t prepared for was the fact that you need cash to pay horse driver, cash for lunch at Brandon Cottage plus (of course) tips. We barely scrounged up enough to pay. The views were absolutely amazing!

This was a great experience that allowed us to see spectacular views of the Gap of Dunloe! We walked through the Gap (around 12km) and it was incredibly worthwhile despite the rainy weather. Definitely an amazing experience and I would highly recommend!

Overall, fun experience. The Gap has beautiful views. We walked instead of carriage ride. We almost missed the boat ride. I think walk was better to enjoy the views , but tight timeline to cottage where boats were. The boat ride was amazing and Rory was an excellent guide. Ended at Ross Castle with no time to explore. Our Transport back was no where to be found. Had to catch a van with different tour to get back. People were very nice, but need to be more organized and give clearer direction on timelines and transportation details.

We rented a horse and buggy to go over the Gap of Dunloe. This part was beautiful. The second half of the tour was the boat trip down the three lakes of Killarney. This part was atrocious. Very unorganized from the meeting point until the end. The water was low on the lakes so much that at one point we had to get out of the boat and traverse a path through very rough terrain. We are all in our seventies and it was only by Gods grace we did not fall and break something. They should never have put good paying customers through such a nightmare. I would not suggest this trip to anyone over 30 years old. This boat company is putting money over the safety of us older customers. There was no mention of having to walk over such a rough path before leaving the starting point. Maybe a little warning would help customers our age. :(

This tour is well worth the money. The boat trip was truly amazing, with gorgeous scenery and Irish humour providing all round great entertainment. Just be careful on the walk because there are many cars, bike and horse carriages. This is not the fault of the tour operator. Take care!!

This was the best excursion of the entire Ireland vacation. Unbounded beauty, physical challenge or take an amazing horse drawn carriage ride through the gap. If you can’t walk the 7 miles you can get a horse carriage ride for an extra 50.00 euros. That should be mentioned as they only took cash. The day ended with a fun boat ride back to Killarney.

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.
