Itinerário
Considerando uma caminhada, caminhada ou caminhada junto com um fantástico passeio de barco pelos Lagos de Killarney entre paisagens espetaculares? Não procure mais do que um passeio Deros para a Fenda de Dunloe (do irlandês: Dún Lóich, que significa "fortaleza de Lóich", também conhecido como Bearna an Choimín, que significa "brecha da terra comum"). The Gap é uma estreita passagem de montanha entre Macgillycuddy's Reeks (oeste) e Purple Mountain (leste) de pouco menos de 11 quilômetros de extensão e sua caminhada leva aproximadamente 2 horas e 30 minutos. Há passeios diários para esta magnífica paisagem saindo do nosso escritório no centro de Killarney diariamente às 10h30
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.

We enjoyed our day at the Gap of Dunloe. It is a beautiful place, and we are so glad we saw it. We were however, very disappointed that there were no horse/jaunting carts available for us when our driver dropped us off. Several people in front of us, did, however their families got broken into 2 different carts. Not necessarily the fault of the operator, but it was very disappointing. I will say the horse operators were aggressive and told us they took 6 people per cart, when Deros and other blogs I read said 4. The adults they squished into carts, looked miserable. We were left with having to walk the entire way to the boats, 7 mile walk. 2 people in our party did not have appropriate shoes or clothes. I guess if you are wanting to do this tour, maybe be more prepared then we were. The boat ride back was amazing and we very much enjoyed our captain. It is beautiful and the best part of our day. The people at Deros were friendly when we arrived to catch the tour in the morning and the driver Denis was great.
Timely, comfortable bus service to and from the Gap. The price includes the return boat trip to Ross Castle. We paid separately for the horse-and-cart ride through the Gap. This day was a highlight of our trip. Beautiful classic Irish views. It did drizzle, and we were glad we wore raincoats. The cart fit 4 adults plus the driver. Nice lunch - sandwiches and tea. We had time for a half-hour walk after lunch before it was time for the boats.
Thank you for sharing your experience! It’s fantastic to hear that you enjoyed the seamless bus and boat connection, as well as the jaunting car ride through the Gap. A little Irish rain only adds to the atmosphere, especially when you're well-prepared with raincoats! We're delighted you had such a memorable day and appreciate your kind words.
Absolutely incredible experience! The tour takes you from the city center to the gap of Dunloe. They boat ride was pretty-arranged (free but everyone gave a tip) and they will notify them if you want to take a horse and buggy through the gap of Dunloe (35/pp plus tip - cash only). The horse ride through was amazing and took about an hour. Some people in our group chose to walk or ride bikes. It’s about 7 miles and a significant portion is uphill. The views are amazing and it was worth every penny!
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're delighted you enjoyed the boat trip, the horse and carriage ride, and the breathtaking views across the Gap of Dunloe. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to see you again soon!
We took this trip based on listing that this was a guided walking tour followed by a boat tour. Instead we were dumped off of bus with instructions to meet “at cottage” by bus driver. Not quite understanding and with no further instructions we thought we had to be back at Kate’s Cottage at start of hike. We basically ran up to top of peak and down to make it by 2pm Only to find no one there. When we realized that no one else was there and called tour operator only then did they tell us that we were obviously supposed to go to the end of the trail to a different cottage and we missed the boat ride. When I pointed out that we were confused and thought a guide would be leading us, she said they never had a guide and that must have been through a “third party”. I don’t know how you can tell on Viator that you are booming through a third party, but pretty sure Deros is getting paid for this tour. Bottom line we missed our boat tour and sat around a long time waiting for a ride back with no refund provided. Giving this tour group a thumbs down.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are genuinely sorry that you were confused about the arrangements on the day and, as a result, missed the boat portion of the tour. We would, however, like to clarify several important points regarding what happened. The information provided by Viator incorrectly described the experience as a guided walking tour. Viator provided incorrect information regarding the tour being guided, and they have accepted that this information was incorrect. Our tour has never included a guide accompanying guests on the walk. The walking section is self-guided, with guests following the designated trail to the cottage where the boat transfer takes place which was explained by the Driver and it appears you were not listening. If you were unsure why did you not question him ? We fully appreciate that this could have caused confusion if you were expecting a guide to accompany you. However, this was not an issue that had previously occurred during the 70 years we have been operating this tour. On the day in question, there were 44 passengers on the tour, including 34 guests who completed the walking section and continued to the boat as instructed. We would also like to clarify the length of time you were waiting for your return transfer. Your review suggests that you were left waiting for a considerable period. In fact, you waited approximately 20 minutes,(after you phone us ) after which we arranged an alternative transfer for you free of charge. It is also important to point out that the review does not mention that Viator provided your party with a full refund because the information supplied by Viator was incorrect. We believe this is an important part of the circumstances and should be acknowledged when describing the outcome of your complaint. Furthermore, one of the four passengers in your party informed our driver and acknowledged that the itinerary had not been read correctly. We understand that itineraries can sometimes be unclear, and we regret that the instructions did not make the meeting point sufficiently clear to you. We do not understand why you did not call earlier to clarify where you were and alternative arrangements would have been made. We are sorry that you missed the boat and that this affected your experience. At the same time, we hope the above clarifies the circumstances, particularly the incorrect information provided by Viator, the fact that your return transfer was arranged free of charge, and that your party received a full refund from Viator.
We had the best time! We took a “jaunty cart” through the gap. Our cart driver was named Sean O’donoghue. He is a native to the Gap and was absolutely fabulous. The boat ride back to Ross castle was great as well.
Thank you for the fantastic feedback! We're so glad you loved the traditional jaunting car ride through the Gap with Sean O'Donoghue and enjoyed the beautiful boat trip to Ross Castle. Having a local Gap native share the area makes all the difference. We'll make sure Sean hears your kind words, and we hope to see you on another tour soon!
Filipo drove us safely to drop off spot and was where he said he would be at the meeting point in the yellow hat. We opted to walk into town rather than take the bus.
Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We're glad to hear Filipo drove you safely and was easy to spot at the meeting point. We'll make sure he hears your compliments, and we hope you had a lovely walk into town!
Superb excursion, to be done when the weather is favorable. The boat trip is very pretty and quite long. Everything is well organized.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us.
the weather wasn’t great but made the best of it. 7 miles is a long walk especially in rain uphill so we and almost everyone else did the jaunting car which was an additional 35 euro per person. then at top lunch was prepackaged options we skipped and had to sit and wait for 2 hours before boat ride back for the walkers.
Had a wonderful day walking the Gap of Dunloe and going on the boat trip. Despite the weather not holding up for the boat ride, our boat driver was great and it was still an amazing experience. Definitely recommend being prepared for rain! The gap of Dunloe was genuinely the most beautiful place I have ever seen 10/10 recommend
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the Gap of Dunloe and boat trip, even with a little Irish rain along the way! It really is a beautiful part of Kerry. Thank you for joining us and for the 10/10 recommendation!
The tour was perfect, our boat captain Rory did an amazing job throughout the entire tour and kept us on schedule very well. Our group had to detour on the drive to the initial meeting point and ended up running late, but our shuttle driver and tour staff coordinated and waited very patiently to make sure everyone in the group was present at the beginning and end of the tour. During the shuttle ride our driver provided interesting facts and key points about the area and culture, I only wish we’d gotten his name so I could specifically highlight the great job he did. I’ll be recommending this tour and service to everyone planning to visit County Kerry.
Thank you for the great review! We're delighted that Captain Rory and our shuttle driver took such good care of your group, especially after a tricky drive to the meeting point. We really appreciate the recommendation for anyone visiting Kerry and hope to see you again down the road!
