“Fantastic tour with one minor quibble. Please skip the peat village. It seems at odds with the rest of the tour which is a visual feast. I didn’t like that we spent 25 minutes there while we only had 5 minutes at some of the epic photo stops. If you skip the peat village then we could spend a few more minutes taking photos and soaking in all the views.”

Highly recommend!”

15.The Gap of Dunloe Full-Day Tour from Killarney

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 221 reviews · 5 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $72

A Gap of Dunloe hike or jaunting cart, then a three-lake boat cruise to Ross Castle, all run smoothly from Killarney with coach transport.

“We went on the Gap of Dunloe tour on a very rainy day so we opted to take a jaunting car... I don't think our horse, Charlie, liked the rain much either... ha! But he did well and we had a great time! The landscape/scenery of the Gap of Dunloe is absolutely beautiful and going through the lakes on a boat an absolute must! It was a great day! (Only thing that would have made it better would have been a jaunting car "driver" that gave us a little background about the area, etc)”
