This highly recommended excursion began with a long voyage in an open boat across the Killarney lakes and along the river. Amazing wooded mountains, totally unspoilt. The Gap itself is a steepish mountain pass, with a road full of twists and turns. Some members of our party chose to walk along the road and it took two to two and...

Approach the Gap via a narrow road and call at the woolen shop then a coffee at Kate Karneys Cottage, then step onboard a jaunting car for a trip up the Gap. Most Memorable

This is a lovely place to visit and we did a trip so were taken by boat to the start of the gap. It is best to do the tour in this direction because you can take as long as you want on the way through the gap and it is a better walk as more downhill. If you do...

Four of us took a jaunting car from Kate Kearneys' Cottage. 40 euro and it took us as far as the fourth lake. A bit over one hour in total. Driver was nice. The scenery is amazing with the lakes, mountains, sheep. You can also walk it but you need a few hours for it, we didn't have much time...

Wow is all I can say, we did the trip through the lakes before getting dropped off at Lord Brandons Cottage and then we walked back to Kate Kearneys in the rain, hail, fog and wind. It was an experience we will never forget and cannot wait to do it again next weekend!

Make sure you hire a horse & cart for a fantastic experience. It's not that expensive & its a great option when you have children!
