Bad weather but enjoyable
Rainy day but jaunting cart driver still made it fun. Sadly our views were under clouds. Hope to visit again some day.
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.
Journey through sublime landscapes ... old-fashioned style
A complete experience that really thrilled us: the landscape is fabulous, enhanced by the experiences in the jaunting cart and by boat. Relaxing atmosphere! The pilot of the light crew gave us some anecdotes and the history of the Gap, attentive to ensuring we could stop from time to time. The return by boat was relaxing, with the pilot sharing info about the places, the climate, and the history. Recommended for the experience, for young and old alike. The 6 hours are well utilized by the team, with a 1/2-1 hour stop at Brandon cottage (sandwiches, good salads). Bring cash to pay for the jaunting cart and meals/drinks.
Amazing views
The most lovely scenic tour with a mix of activity. The bus pick up and drop off seemed rushed and confused with who was supposed to be on the bus so while we did not start with great confidence our boat captain made up for in history and fun! The jaunting carts - so much fun. Our horse miss Ellie had character and I loved that we were able to get out for walking some. Unbelievable pictures! Thank you Gap of Dunloe tours
Disjointed communication among operators
The lakes and the Gap of Dunloe were very picturesque. Our boat guide Tony was very informative and made the boat ride very enjoyable. Communication among the various independent people delivering this experience was poor. We were advised to not rush to get the jaunting cart. As we ate our lunch in the pavilion we were told a cart would be available in 30 minutes, this stretched to 45. We went to the designated waiting point and continued to wait with 3 other groups / 12 people for over an hour. More jaunting carts were called for and they had to switch out horses due to overuse and heat. Due to the unusual heat people were asked to get out and walk. Happy to do this for the good of the horses but more carts with less people may have been best. By the time we arrived the bus back to Killarney had left without us, leaving 13 people (1 walker?) across 5 groups stranded. We had to wait an hour for the bus home after a long day.
