This was one of the best tours we’ve been on in Ireland. Was like an adventure rather than one more bus tour. Rode a boat through the lakes and river around the gap of Dunloe followed by a pony and trap trip through the gap. Great guides having the usual Irish sense of humor. The pony and trap portion was pretty exiting.

This was my dream come true! It was a perfect day filled with excellent guides and seamless transfers between activities. The cafe was delicious for lunch and very reasonable prices and selection. It is absolutely the best way to see Gap of Dunlow and the national park! Our photos are jaw dropping!

The Gap of Dunloe was the highlight of my week. It was so enjoyable. The scenery was spectacular and our guides were more than helpful, both in the jaunting car and on the boat tour. We were blessed with the weather as the sun shone all day long. I would highly recommend this trip, well worth it and a fantastic experience to see Kerry at its best. Louise
