Great way to see the park
Throughly enjoyed both the carriage ride and the boat ride — a great way to see both places. Mike and Maggie were great hosts for the jaunting car and Paul was a very knowledgeable guide on the boat. Learned a lot, loved the majestic views.

Boat Only Ticket (Walk the Gap of Dunloe)
MomOfTwinGirls06, Sep 2026
This was the highlight of our trip!
Fabulous experience and a “must do” when you’re in Killarney. The boat ride is in a 10-12 person small, open, wooden boat. Try to sit in the back by the outboard motor because that’s where the captain/tour guide will be and it’s difficult to hear him if you’re up front. Also, you tend to get a bit of a splash up front on certain parts of the lake even when it’s pretty calm. The views are breathtaking! They will point out animals hiding along the shores and hillsides, which I had trouble seeing. I was jealous of the guy who thought to bring small binoculars - pro move there! The tour operator does NOT rent bikes BUT you can rent them in town and the boat operator will load your bikes on another boat which will follow behind you on a 15-20 minute lag, giving you enough time to disembark your boat at Lord Brandon’s cottage, use the bathroom and grab a small bite to eat.

Muckross House and Gardens – Boat Tour (Min 4 People – 1 way).

A must-see
Magnificent place not to be missed! I preferred Muckross to Killarney Abbey, that's saying something! I appreciated being able to see a max of rooms and objects in the same state as they were at the time. And especially to have been able to understand the life between the wealthy and the servants....I recommend 100%

1 hour Lake Cruise on Killarney’s Largest Lake
Mark_R, Sep 2026
One hour lake cruise
The one hour on the lake is on an enclosed single level cruise ferry with sliding windows and an open aft. The captain is the only crew member and gives a very informative commentary as we sail at a leisurely pace around the upper and middle lakes. Fabulous views and good ramp access. Goes on the hour from next to the castle.

Gap of Dunloe and Boat Ride
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

Lakes of Killarney Private Boat Tour

Magical private lake tour
The early morning private tour is magical. We were the only boat out on the water. No noise, no other tourists, no other motor noises. When we stopped it was peaceful and enchanting. Tony was fabulous, a fourth generation boatman, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. He will make your day. We stopped at Innisfallen, it was us, Sitka deer, and the spirits of the monks. Highly recommend you contact them for early or late private tour. One of the most lovely tours of our whole trip. Thanks so much.
