Great outing - Beautiful boat ride up to the top of the lakes. Our guide was friendly and informative. We rented bikes and rode the gap and back to Killarney and the scenery was breath-taking. Definitely a must-do for anyone in Killarney!

Great day and took the bikes too! - We had a great trip. Weather was in our favour too! The Guide/Captain was lovely, information and humourous! And Bailey the Ship's Dog kept us all company. Took bikes across with us and cycled back (pedal power not e-bikes). We would highly recommend doing this if you're fit enough.

Beautiful Gap of Dunloe! - Walking the Gap of Dunloe was a fantastic way to spend our day. I recommend starting at Kate Kearney!s cottage and walking to Lord Brandon’s cottage…..it’s a prettier walk this way. Pick up the boat there and have a fun ride back to Ross Castle. the walk is steep at times but so lovely. Be aware: I was dreaming of a post-walk pint at Lord Brandon’s before we boarded the boat and there was none to be had. They did have great soup and hot chocolate! Walking the gap took us about 2 hours.

Fantastic Trip - A really great way to see the lakes and surrounding areas. We were able to take our bikes on board and cycle back to Killarney from Lord Brandon’s Cottage. Would highly recommend.

Excellent boat trip - Excellent trip. Boat easy to find and last on time. Fun and interesting commentary. Great views on boat and when walking. Took almost three hours… hadn’t booked bus at other end but we managed to get it back to Ross castle.

Boat ride and drivers were fantastic. Catered for a rainy ride in the boat. Found the Dunhoe story interesting . - The actual experience was good but found the booking process confusing. Thought I was booking a boat ride but discovered when I had paid that it involved an 11k walk

The Gap of Dunloe by boat - This was a most unusual boat trip to Lord Brandon's Cottage from Ross Castle. Half way through the trip you get to the river which becomes so shallow that the boat has to empty its passengers and you have to walk along the river to deeper water where you get back on the boat. The scenery is beautiful though unfortunately it was quite wet which meant that the white tailed eagle didn't appear. When you get to Lord Brandon's Cottage you can buy snacks and drinks. Some people then walk to pick up a jaunting trap to go along the beautiful Gap of Dunloe whereas others use a bicycle and others walk. We returned by boat. The boat was good value for the length of the trip

Beautiful walk through the Gap - The Gap of Dunloe was beautiful! I recommend starting at Kate Kearneys cottage, walking the gap then taking the boat back. It’s a moderate walk with lots of hills. Our boat captain was very nice and shared lots of information about the lakes. The walk back into town from Ross Castle was pretty long, I wish we had taken a jaunting car!
