Killarney National Park is unique because it blends breathtaking scenery with centuries of history, all wrapped into one compact, unforgettable landscape.

Gap of Dunloe Tour (Boat & Bus)

kelly_W, May 2026

Make this your tour a priority in Killarney

I have never seen prettier scenery. Such a lovely experience. We took the horse drawn cart but the walk would have been fine. Make sure you bring cash and sunscreen. The boat men were so nice and made sure no one got forgotten about or misdirected. The tour providers were great

Kristen_G, May 2026

Beautiful scenery

My husband walked and I took the horse cart. Beautiful sunny day, and our pictures are amazing. The boat ride was nice and relaxing. Definitely a worthwhile tour.

Lovely day on the lakes...

Lovely day on the lakes and rivers. We saw a pair of eagles and a juvenile. It was quite hot so we opted for the horse and cart instead of the 6 mile walk. Our boat guide was very knowledgeable and made sure we were well taken care of. The cart driver was local and shared lots of information. Brilliant day all around.

Donny_M, May 2026

Good but could be improved

Beautiful scenery. Nice hike and boat ride. My recommendation is that they provide more information to people before they commit so that they know how long the hike will be. Also, a printed map of the route with detailed instructions would help. We were concerned that we were lost for a little bit. There is one point on the route in which you come to a T. Explicit direction for that point would be good. A printout should also include the times that we need to be at certain points.
