Description

Embark on a full-day adventure through the breathtaking Gap of Dunloe in Killarney National Park, Ireland. This tour invites you to explore one of the country's most scenic mountain passes, whether on foot or by traditional horse-drawn carriage, offering an authentic Irish experience.

Your journey begins in central Killarney, where you'll be transported to the iconic Kate Kearney's Cottage. Here, choose to hike the seven-mile route through the Gap or opt for a jaunting carriage ride, payable directly on the day. Both options provide stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

After traversing the Gap, you'll arrive at Lord Brandon’s Cottage, a charming spot to relax and enjoy a snack or coffee before continuing your adventure. The next leg features a memorable boat trip across the three Lakes of Killarney, where you'll glide past lush islands and dramatic landscapes.

The tour concludes at the historic Ross Castle, nestled on the shores of Lough Leane. While there isn’t time for a full castle tour, you can enjoy the picturesque setting before returning to Killarney. The experience includes bus and boat transport, with a knowledgeable guide to enrich your journey.

This immersive tour lasts approximately 5.5 hours and is suitable for travelers with moderate fitness. Spaces fill quickly, so check availability and book your spot today for an unforgettable day in Killarney National Park!
