A great way to experience Kerry!

The Gap of Dunloe is an amazing tour! Wild Kerry did a great job ensuring that the process was seamless. Barry O'Connor picked me up from the train station and took me right to where I needed to be. He was very friendly and a great driver. He even let me leave some heavy luggage in the van so that I didn't have to carry it all day which was super helpful! I took the horse and carriage ride, which was super nice. A great way to relax and enjoy the view, and it also helped me get to the boat on time. I would definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Kerry!

Gorgeous tour

We had a wonderful driver, Barry O'Connor, take us to the Gap of Dunloe tour and pick us up afterward. He was so kind and fun to talk to about all things Ireland 10/10. The boat tour with Rory was great. We had to do the boat first and the hike second. We chose the hike originally (in lieu of horse cart), but halfway two of the jaunting horses were going by with no passengers, so because it was a hot day- we hopped on those to finish out our experience. We felt we got a little bit of everything. The views were gorgeous and everyone we encountered was so kind and helpful and informative. It was a wonderful way to see the park and learn more about our surroundings.

A beautiful day to remember

We booked the night before through our hotel: Dromhall in Killarney. It was a very short walk to the meet up point where Sheila was warm and helpful. Our wonderful driver/guide was Barry O’Connor. Barry was very informative, provided clear communication and was warm and welcoming. Our jaunty driver Dan and his beautiful horse Sam provided us with a great experience exploring the Gap of Dunloe. Our boat driver Cathal O’Connor was excellent. He provided us with a safe and informative boat ride and we could feel his passion for this beautiful place. A most memorable day! Thank you to everyone who contributed to our experience.

Lovely walk and boat trip, stunning views, nicely organised

I loved this - met the group in central Killarney, driven to the gap, walked the gap in (can take 2.5hrs), met up again with 10 of the group, then toured 3 Killarney lakes on a motorboat. Walk is easy with some inclines, could be challenging for some people, stunning views though. Loved the mix of solo walking followed by being part of a group of people I got along with and driven by 2 experienced and pleasant boaters.
