Overview

The Gap of Dunloe Tour is a must do for visitors to Killarney. The ‘Adventure’ begins daily from our head office at O’Connor’s Pub, 7 High St., Killarney at 10:00am for check in. We can also collect clients from their accommodation in the Killarney area. Your journey begins with a bus trip to Kate Kearney’s Cottage or Ross Castle (recommended starting point for walkers as it allows more time). From here visitors make the 7 mile walk (please allow 2.5 to 3 hours for the walk). For those who do not wish to walk Jaunting cart’s are also available (at extra cost of €25 per person) to take the clients through the natural unspoilt beauty of the Black Valley, a walker’s paradise. Upon reaching Lord Brandon’s Cottage, there will be time to enjoy refreshments (not included) at the Cafe, before taking your boat trip through the Lakes of Killarney to Ross Castle where your bus will be waiting to take you back to Killarney. As noted, this tour can also be done in reverse.

Glad we did it!

Published on May, 2025

My husband and I really enjoyed the views and the boat ride. The guide/skipper was great! My 23 year old enjoyed it as well which I wasn't sure about.Highly recommend taking the jaunting car ride back to the starting point. We did not do that and the walk back was a bit much for us.

This will be a memory that is carved permanently into your consciousness. Don’t miss it.

An absolutely stunning, 7 mile walk through a valley. Some moderate elevation gain. The boat ride was equally beautiful.

Highly recommended tour!

The bus ride from O'Connor's Pub left on time with the driver giving us a bit of the history of the town. The walk was strenuous in one part, but very scenic. It took me two hours and twenty minutes of steady going so I had plenty of time to get something to eat and drink at Lord Brandon's Cottage. It is not a full service restaurant, but you can certainly get a light lunch. Service with a smile. The boat ride through the three lakes was just beautiful with our guide stopping in a few places to let us know about some points of interest. The weather meant the boat ride was a little rough in parts, but I was never concerned at any time. I think this is one of the most beautiful tours I've been on and definitely recommend it.

Fantastic scenery and wonderful boat journey

Published on Sep, 2024

Very well organised trip. We were picked up at our hotel by mini bus. The driver gave us interesting commentary on the way to the start of the walk. We chose to walk to Lord Brandon’s cottage rather than take a jaunting car. We were blessed with glorious weather. The boat trip down through the lakes was fabulous. Again great commentary from our guide. Would highly recommend.

Awesome

It was a great walk to the top of the gap. Beautiful views and an awesome environment. Low traffic. The tour in the boat was fantastic, a must. Even if it was raining, we could enjoy very much passing through the 3 lakes.
