Considerando uma caminhada, caminhada ou caminhada junto com um fantástico passeio de barco pelos Lagos de Killarney entre paisagens espetaculares?

Aninhado na entrada do mundialmente famoso Gap of Dunloe fica o Kate Kearney's Cottage, um estabelecimento familiar de 150 anos. O Chalé é agora um Restaurante e um típico Pub tradicional. Kate's como é conhecido localmente é o ponto de partida para a caminhada ou carruagens a cavalo para atravessar o Gap of Dunloe.
Localizado no 'fim' da lacuna, se você caminhar do lado de Kate Kearny, o Lord Brandon's Cottage é um local de boas-vindas para aqueles que conquistaram a primeira etapa da caminhada. Outrora um grande pavilhão de caça, o chalé tem uma história de amor e traição, que você descobrirá em breve. Lord Brandon's Cottage, um pavilhão de caça do século XIX cercado por exuberantes prados de água verde. Agora há um café no Lord Brandon's Cottage, onde você pode tomar um café ou um pequeno lanche. Eles só aceitam dinheiro, então certifique-se de bater em um caixa eletrônico se você planeja visitar. Nos meses de verão, há muito espaço para fazer um piquenique e relaxar antes do passeio de barco pelos Lagos de Killarney. O barqueiro irá encontrá-lo no chalé e mostrará os barcos que estarão esperando para levá-lo pelos famosos Lagos de Killarney até o Castelo de Ross.
Os 3 Lagos de Killarney ocupam um amplo vale que se estende ao sul entre as montanhas que os cercam e estão todos no Parque Nacional Lough Leane (Lower Lake), Muckross Lake (Middle Lake) e Upper Lake estão interligados por um quarto dos 25.000 acres do Parque Nacional A viagem de barco oferece vistas deslumbrantes e pitorescas sobre a cordilheira MacGillcuddy's Reeks Na ponta da Península Muckross está a pitoresca Ponte Brickeen e a Ilha Dinis mais adiante com sua vegetação subtropical e vistas do 'Encontro das Águas'. Uma reta estreita chamada Long Range leva ao Upper Lake repleto de ilhas O Lago Médio ou Lago Muckross possui um excelente estoque de salmão da primavera. Lough Leane é o maior dos 3 lagos. O rio Laune flui do lago para a Baía de Dingle, a noroeste. Innisfallen é uma ilha em Lough Leane e abriga as ruínas da Abadia de Innisfallen, um dos vestígios arqueológicos mais impressionantes que datam do início do período cristão
O Castelo Ross é uma casa torre do século XV e mantém-se à beira do Lough Leane, no Parque Nacional de Killarney É a casa ancestral dos Chefes do Clã O'Donoghue, mais tarde associado aos Brownes de Killarney No início do século XVI, a Coroa Inglesa concedeu a extensa soma de 10 libras esterlinas para cada fortificação ou torre erguida por seus súditos. Assim, em 1533, Richard Nugent, o 12º Barão de Delvin iniciou a construção de uma fortaleza, que se tornaria conhecida como o Castelo de Ross. O Castelo de Ross foi construído no final do século XV pelo clã governante local O'Donoghues Mór (Ross), embora a propriedade tenha mudado de mãos durante a Segunda Rebelião de Desmond da década de 1580 para o MacCarthy Mór. ... Os irlandeses tinham uma profecia de que Ross nunca poderia ser levado até que um navio de guerra pudesse nadar no lago, uma perspectiva inacreditável. O castelo é um exemplo típico da fortaleza de um chefe irlandês durante a Idade Média.

This day was for sure a highlight of our 3 week trip! It was myself, my husband and our 3 kids and we all thought it was so fun. The tour that you book includes being driven by bus to the starting location at the Gap of Dunloe. From there, you can either walk or hire a jaunting car ride (a small horse drawn carriage) to take you the gorgeous 7 miles through the Gap. We knew our kids wouldn't want to walk 7 miles, so we asked the jaunting car driver to take us about 4.5 miles and then we walked the last 2.5 miles to get some walking in. The jaunting car ride is not included in the price of the tour and is 35 euros per person and you must pay in cash. At the end of the Gap of Dunloe ride/walk, you end at Lord Brandon's cottage, where there is a small selection for food (small sandwiches, snack type foods-they also only take cash!). It's a beautiful spot to relax for a little until you get on a 12 person boat (not covered, so bring rain jackets in case) and they take you through serene, beautiful rivers until you get to a large lake with a view of Ross Castle and then drop you off at Ross castle. We opted to park at Ross castle in the morning and be picked up there, that way we could look around the castle when we got there and head home when we wanted. So this tour includes the car ride at the start/end to your pick-up/drop-off location and the boat ride to Ross castle. It was one of the most beautiful days I have ever experienced and would definitely recommend it!
Easy day out. Coach, jaunting cart, and boat. Everything ran on time. Guides were friendly, gave clear directions. We had two children and one college aged child and everyone enjoyed the day.
I did the jaunty car ride by horse and did have to walk up 2 different steep hills to aid the horse. Not a problem for me, but it was quite a work out.
We enjoyed the transportation provided. We walked the Gap of Dunloe. It is breathtaking! We completed the walk in just under 2.5 hours. The boat ride back was exceptional Our boats man was extremely skilled. He took every opportunity to tell us the history of the area. He pointed out physical features of the lakes. I would highly recommend this experience
My wife and I did the 11 km hike in continuous rain. Enjoyed every bit of it. The experience was beautiful and will cherish it for a very long time. But there were a couple of things one should be wary of. The coach drops the tourists at Kate Kearney's Cottage and from there one can walk or take a horse carriage to Lord Brandon's Cottage 11 km away. From Lord Brandon's Cottage you'll come to Ross Castle by boat negotiating 2 rivers and 3 massive lakes. The boat journey is about an hour. When we were dropped at Kate Kearney's Cottage, the driver said that the boat will start at Lord Brandon's Cottage at 2.15pm. Since it was raining incessantly we did the hike in 2 hours and 45 minutes and reached Lord Brandon's Cottage at 1.45pm. To our surprise, we saw that all the other passengers who came before us have left and the last boat containing 6 tourists was about to leave. We barely managed to catch the last boat which left at 2pm instead of 2.15pm. Six of the bus passengers decided to walk and 4 made it by 2pm. We remember overtaking 2 of the passengers about 15-20 minutes before we reached Lord Brandon's cottage. Those two missed the boat. Similarly, the bus driver said the coach will start from Ross Castle at 3.30 pm. Due to incessant rain, the boat we travelled containing 8 passengers reached Ross Castle at 3.20 pm. One Japanese lady, who did the 11km trek along with us and also travelled with us on the boat, went to the bathroom after disembarking from the boat at Ross Castle. We directly went to the bus and reached it around 3.28pm. The driver counted the passengers at 3.30pm and found one short. We told him that the Japanese lady went to the bathroom. Even then the bus driver didn't wait for the Japanese lady which we felt was not correct.
This tour is a great way to experience the Gap of Dunloe. The bus is a great way to avoid the traffic leading to the Gap at Kate Kearney's Cottage and not have to worry about leaving a car there. My wife and I opted to walk the Gap of Dunloe, which was an easy but fun 7.5 mile walk on paved roads. The Gap itself is very scenic and enjoyable to walk through, with an easy hilly section toward the end of the pass. There is no shade for 99% of the walk, so plan accordingly. After the Gap, there's a long section of downhill and flat walking to Lord Brandon's Cottage, where the Gap of Dunloe Traditional Boats pick you up at a set time. This is all booked for you in the overall booking by I didn't catch the name of our boat guide, but he did an excellent job pointing out the different landmarks, history, and ecology of the Killarney Lakes, rivers, and surrounding mountains. It was a very easy day logistically thanks to the tour.
Our Gap of Dunloe tour was great from start to finish. We opted to be picked up at Ross Castle to better plan the remainder of our day after. The directions were clear and communication was great for the meeting spot in the shuttle lot. Our bus shuttle driver was hilarious with a good sense of humor and information as he took us to Kate Kearney's cottage. Finding a jaunting cart was easy and although separate, they were informative and kind throughout the ride. The boat ride back was very enjoyable and smooth as well. He had a funny sense of humor about him as well with lots of local knowledge and information to share. My mom and I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and were grateful for great weather and sites along the way.
We arrived in Killarney at 10am for a 10.30am tour. We spent the next 20 minutes trying to find a park in the chaotic city centre with lots of road works taking place. We managed to get to the meeting point at 10.27, only to find the bus had left early. The woman at Deros Tours office was completely unapologetic and unsympathetic. When we complained the bus had left early, she responded that it was only a matter of minutes. It may have been, but those minutes were crucial for us. We had to get a cab at our expense to the start of the hike. The cab driver was way more heloful, friendly and informative than the Deros Tours receptionist and bus driver. The Gap of Dunloe was beautiful to walk through, but we unfortunately struck a very wet day. After the 11km hike and the one and a quarter hour trip in an open topped boat back to the bus, much of the time in rain, we were cold and soaked by the time we returned to Killarney.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beauty of the Gap of Dunloe, despite the challenging weather conditions on the day. We would like to clarify a few points regarding your departure from Killarney. The tour was scheduled to depart at 10:30am, and our booking confirmation and pre-tour information clearly advise guests to allow sufficient time for parking and to arrive at the meeting point before the departure time. On the morning of your tour, you arrived at our office at approximately 10:30am and explained that you had experienced difficulty finding parking. As our tours operate on a fixed schedule and involve multiple passengers, the coach departed as scheduled and did not leave early. While we appreciate that parking difficulties can be frustrating, we are unable to delay departures for late arrivals without impacting other guests. At approximately 10:20am, when you had not yet arrived, a member of our team attempted to contact the telephone number provided with your booking to determine whether the coach should be held for a few additional minutes. Unfortunately, there was no answer and we did not receive any communication advising us that you were delayed. We were disappointed to read your comments regarding our staff member. Our records show that she assisted you by providing complimentary walking maps, reassuring you that there was no need to worry, and advising that the boats could be contacted if necessary to facilitate your joining the tour later along the route. Her intention was to help you continue your day with as little disruption as possible. We are also unclear regarding the comments about the bus driver, as you did not meet the driver before departure that morning. While we regret that the start of your experience did not meet your expectations, we are pleased that you were ultimately able to enjoy the Gap of Dunloe and complete the tour. We wish you all the best in your future travels. Deros Tours. Killarney.
Fantastic day trip to Killarney national park and gap of Dunloe. We had an amazing 11 kilometre walk and then finished with a lovely boat trip.
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We are delighted to hear you had such an amazing day exploring the Gap of Dunloe and Killarney National Park. Tackling that stunning 11-kilometre walk is a brilliant achievement, and finishing the adventure with a relaxing boat trip across the lakes is the absolute perfect reward. Thank you for choosing to explore with us, and we hope these wonderful memories stay with you for a long time to come! Safe travels!
An unparalleled tour. Batt or Barth (I am not exactly sure of the name) was an exceptional guide, sharing historical knowledge of the region and his life, and he sang very well, making the tour very enjoyable. We stopped many times to take photos, always willing to help.
