Overview

The Gap of Dunloe Tour is a must do for visitors to Killarney. The ‘Adventure’ begins daily from our head office at O’Connor’s Pub, 7 High St., Killarney at 10:00am for check in. We can also collect clients from their accommodation in the Killarney area.

Your journey begins with a bus trip to Kate Kearney’s Cottage or Ross Castle (recommended starting point for walkers as it allows more time). From here visitors make the 7 mile walk (please allow 2.5 to 3 hours for the walk). For those who do not wish to walk Jaunting cart’s are also available (at extra cost of €25 per person) to take the clients through the natural unspoilt beauty of the Black Valley, a walker’s paradise.

Upon reaching Lord Brandon’s Cottage, there will be time to enjoy refreshments (not included) at the Cafe, before taking your boat trip through the Lakes of Killarney to Ross Castle where your bus will be waiting to take you back to Killarney. As noted, this tour can also be done in reverse.

It was a beautifull tour with the most amazing views. We especially loved the trip trough the gap itself. We were very lucky with the weather, we had a clear blue sky with about 26 degrees.

The tour bus collected us from our caravan site in Killarney in early May and in perfect weather, so our report may be biased as the whole day is open air. We were bussed to the start point of a 7 mile/10 km unaccompanied walk. We were told to allow 2 to 3 hours and it took us a full 3 hours, lea...

Overall this was a good day. The staff (I met the lady at the desk, bus driver, and a driver of the boat) were all lovely. The boat driver was especially enthusiastic despite the hard work he had to do pulling the boat over shallow spots in the lake. The scenery is beautiful even in the rain and ...

We were informed to be at the bus for 10:30 but were late leaving for trip and the driver/guide/boatman didn't know who was in his party. Buses are old but OK for the short drive to Ross Castle, the man told us when we got there this is the ross castle you have 5 minutes and meet me over by the r...
