Beautifull scenery , easy to get too , didnt go all the way as had 3 young kids with us but they loved it too. Look out for cyclists on their way back down though , they come down hill very fast and road very narrow.

We joined Deros Tours and did the Gap of Dunloe which included a bus ride from the town center to Kate Kearney's cottage. From there, the walk is 11 km to Lord Brandon's cottage. It took us 2.5 hours and we are pretty fast walkers. The path is paved. Cars, cyclists, motorcycles, horse carriages all take this path. It is...

Took a jaunting cart/boat trip as part of the 12 km experience. The cart driver was talkative and willing to share his local knowledge. Spectacular scenery. Hiking or biking would be my choice the next time I pass through.
Beautiful scenery - fantastic walk from Kate Kearney's cottage to old Kenmare road at Galwey bridge. Over three and a half hours with another hour's lunch stop at Lord Brandon's cottage - a very welcome stop after about 2 and half hours
be careful of the jousting carts near the cafe,they told us 5 euro for the 3 of us and ended up charging us 40 euro for the return trip,it was a con to get us into the cart and the surprising part these guys are elderly,the trip is not worth 40 euro,as we could see most people walked the 3...

During a recent holiday in Kerry we decided to drive through the Gap of Dunloe. This is a fantastic drive and well worth doing, the scenery is spectacular. However, two points to consider:- 1. It is a VERY narrow road DO NOT attempt it in any sort of campervan or if you are of a nervous disposition!
2. Starting from...

The Gape of Dunloe is well-worth a visit! Either take a jaunting cart up the pass or hike it! (driving is supposed to be restricted to locals only). Pack a picnic or just visit for the epic serenity! If you visit Killarney National Park then the Gap of Dunloe is a MUST-SEE! :)
worth doing, it took approx 1h30 to drive from Molly's gap to Killarney but you could take much longer by stopping more
The boat ride across the three lakes is a great start to a lovely bike ride up to the gap and then back into town. Pack a picnic lunch to enjoy on the way down. The ride up is not that long or difficult and is truly such fun- the way back to town is mostly down hill and beautiful....

Really enjoyed this area. Make sure to drive past all the horse carriage drivers and park at Cate Kearneys Cottage area. You can walk from there. You can drive into it but the road is really only one lane with very few areas to pull off. Don't recommend driving into the gap during busy season. You will have lots of...
