Gap Of Dunloe Traditional Boat Tours — Local services in Killarney Municipal District

We had any difficulty in booking online, but could get along with 'Tour 8' & glad too, because it gave an extraordinary feeling to move through this amazing landscape on a small open boat. A treat to eyes ànd ears, as Dux is a true storyteller, with lots of humour & accompanying gestures - whilst steering the boat! One minor issue though was the pick-up at Kate Kearney's Cottage ...
