Walking through the Gap of Dunloe & boating across the Killarney Loughs
We got an excellent sunny day for this varied & beautiful tour arranged by Deros Tours in Killarney. A bus took us to Kate Kearney’s Cottage from where we walked through the stunning scenery of the Gap of Dunloe, with mountains on either side & a wee river beside us, which we repeatedly crossed on picturesque arched stone bridges. Most tourists passed us in horse-drawn carriages, bikes or even a few cars but we teamed up with a few others from our bus & had a great walk. The boat trip was perfect through the rivers & loughs, & under bridges, navigated skilfully by the Boat Driver, whose commentary was very informative. We ended at Ross Castle for the drive back to Killarney after another wonderful day in Killarney.

Eleanor was our driver and guide. She was excellent and accommodating. She took us to St. Mary Catholic church to start and encouraged us to see Celtic Steps in the evening. She took us to all the sites, including Ross Castle, Muckross, Torc Waterfall and an Abbey.She was so considerate she even picked us up after the Celtic Step show and dropped us off.

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!

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!
