Amazing way to experience The Gap of Dunloe!
Taylor F

My husband and I had an amazing time on the jaunting tour in the Gap of Dunloe - such a beautiful, magical Irish experience. The boat tour was also a great way to experience Killarney. One thing to consider - as a parent myself, I would not recommend the boat part of the tour for young children - as it ruins the experience for others. There were 2 small children on the boat that screamed and complained the entire time, and it was very distracting. Outside of that, we had an incredible time!

Views, and Travel Like a Victorian Adventurer
LizDitz
, Jun 2019
This was a lovely day out, and gives an excellent view of the Irish countryside. The views are astonishingly beautiful. The driver of our pony cart, Niamh, is the fourth generation in her family to drive tourists about, and had some good stories. The lunch stop is standard Irish sandwiches and soup but the cakes and pastry on offer were excellent. Then you get in a small (12 passenger) boat, and motor down the chain of lakes, back to Ross Castle. Our pilot was Dux, who is quite the character and story-teller. But even if you have a more reserved pilot, the views and being on the tranquil lakes is quite lovely. I say, "travel like a Victorian adventurer" because this trip has been ongoing since the 1880s, and is well worth your time.

Rich experience

Experience included a small boat ride up the lakes with a fun and funny local boat driver and a cart and pony over the gap with interesting stops along the way. We went in the direction starting from Ross Castle so had to get a cab ride there but on the way back at the end of the trip the driver stopped in Killarney, a short walk from our hotel. Actually enjoyed this more than the more popular Ring of Kerry. Recommend them both.

If I could give it a ten I would...

If I could give it a ten I would! this was spectacular! We were late for the tour, thinking that it started at 10:45, when it started at 10:20, and we were walking running, really there from town. It is a long walk. Laura called us, and came to get us in her personal car!!!! Outstanding service!!! We started with the boat ride through the three lakes and two rivers with Dux! Awesome man! The water was beautiful and quiet. So serene!! then we met our trap driver to go thru the Gap. His name was Patrick, and he was wonderful and very funny! I read various reviews saying that the drivers didn't talk and it was boring...... No way!!!! Take the trap. It is a 7 mile walk and very hilly. Such amazing scenery! This is one of the best things that I have ever done while traveling!!! A must Do!!!!!!
