Rugged But Beautiful Land
This daylong trip was outstanding. The driver was very informative and we learned a lot about Irish history. This is rugged country with sheep everywhere. Very picturesque.

A wonderful day
Had a great time. Our pony man, Paul and boatman, I think his name was Daniel, were excellent. We got poured on, but it didn’t dampen our fun. They really knew what they were doing. The scenery was incredibly beautiful. It was an experience our group will never forget.

Lovely Afternoon in Killarney
This was a beautiful and amazing experience! Our beautiful horse, Rosy was perfect and gently took us on a fantastic ride, with stunning views. Her dad (sorry I forgot his name) was fun and informative. He told us details about the scenery, history and also entertained us with a few quips and jokes. He made the afternoon delightful and safely delivered us to our afternoon tea. The tea was also amazing, Jackson was very pleasant and attentive, he answered all of our questions and continuously checked on us to make sure we pleased and satisfied. We loved the room where we very much enjoyed the tea, the style and décor was beautiful and very pleasingly appropriate. We highly recommend this experience & thank your for a lovely afternoon in Killarney!

We had a great time despite the rain on and off. It was beautiful! We hiked the Gap of Dunloe, which was easily doable in the time allotted. We had a quick lunch afterwards at Brandon's Cottage. The boat trip back to Ross Castle was full of Irish charm with our cheeky captain.

The 11km hike up through the Gap was amazing. The scenery is astounding. It was a great walk and not hard at all. The boat trip back was fun, despite it pouring with rain at times. It’s all part of the experience. The skipper was very informative and fun to listen to

Perfect tour of Killarney National Park features! Our driver/guide Sheila did a magnificent job explaining the area and it is obvious she loves her home town. Super friendly and helpful—we could not recommend this tour or Sheila more!

Bus, Boat & Jaunting Cart Tour (Jaunting Cart Paid Separately)

An amazing experience
This was an incredible way to experience the Gap of Dunloe. The cart coat 140 euro for 2 people to ride in the jaunting car, cash only, or you can walk the length of the gap. The jaunting car was well worth the money. Only tip I would off would be to plan to have a long lunch at Lord Brandons cottage before the boats arrive, there is basically nothing but a cafe at the end of the gap.

Top boat trip and access to fantastic scenery
Many thanks to Rory for help before and during the trip. Boat trip was great, thanks to Noel for his careful navigation and narration. Because of low water we had to get out of boat 1 and walk around 15 minutes to join boat 2. We wanted to walk from Lord Brandon's Cottage to Kate Kearneys Cottage which didn't link up with buses but Rory did his best to organise something. Also I managed to leave my camera behind at a cafe and Rory thankfully managed to retrieve it for me. Huge relief and gratefully appreciated.

A fantastic experience!
I did the Ring of Kerry bus tour today with Conor. It was fantastic! He was so cheerful and gave us so much wonderful details about Irish mythology, folklore and history all along the Wild Atlantic Way, while we enjoyed some spectacular scenery and local cuisine etc. It was very enjoyable. Would highly recommend it!
