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
Highlight of our trip
Best way to explore Gap of Dunloe and the Lakes! Especially the boat trip back was my personal highlight.
The Gap of Dunloe is Beautiful, Excursion Experience Lacking
The Gap of Dunloe itself was absolutely incredible. A must see. The experience was a little strange. They told us the last boat leaves at 2pm after the driver was late in showing up to drop us off. As a result, we didn't get there until after 11am which only left us less than 3 hours to hike the entire way. You could choose to do the horse drawn carriage for an extra charge, but we were wanting to hike it and it said that you could in the description of the experience. We got there with barely 10 minutes to spare before the boat left and that left us no time for lunch. We were walking faster than everyone else on the experience and only stopped to site see and take photos for maybe 10 minutes total. When we told the driver this he insisted we must have gotten hypnotized by the sheep to make light, but isn't the point of walking it to be able to stop every so often and enjoy the view? There was no time for that. I don't understand why they didn't have the last boat leave at 4pm to give you time to take in the beautiful scenery and eat lunch.
Wonderful, but……
This was wonderful!!! Beautiful!! The only thing that was not clear with the description was that the gap is a 7 mile walk. If you don’t want to, or can’t walk that far, the cost to take the horse and buggy is an extra 35 euro cash only. The lunch venue was also cash only.
A great way to experience Kerry!
The Gap of Dunloe is an amazing tour! Wild Kerry did a great job ensuring that the process was seamless. Barry O'Connor picked me up from the train station and took me right to where I needed to be. He was very friendly and a great driver. He even let me leave some heavy luggage in the van so that I didn't have to carry it all day which was super helpful! I took the horse and carriage ride, which was super nice. A great way to relax and enjoy the view, and it also helped me get to the boat on time. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Kerry!
