About Gap of Dunloe Tours

The trip departs daily from our office located at O'Connor's Traditional Pub (7 High Street) Eircode V93 DV26. We can also collect clients from their accommodation in the Killarney area. Check in-time: 10am.

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). For those who may chose not to walk Jaunting cart's are available at Kate Kearney's Cottage & Lord Brandon's Cottage, cost is €25 per person to be paid in cash on the day. The Jaunting cart's take approximately 1.5 hours to travel the 7 mile journey through the Gap.

Please note, due to current low water levels on the lakes, passengers must disembark at Dinis Cottage and navigate a path on foot of approximately 400 yards/365m across Rustic bridge and meet the boat on the other side in order to allow the boat to pass through the shallow water. Unfortunately due to these exceptional circumstances on the lake the trip may not be suitable at the moment for any person that may experience mobility issues or walking difficulties as there is no way to avoid the walking portion. We apologise for this, however it is beyond our control due to the lack of rain we have been experiencing.
