What visitors said
Walking the Gap beats driving or jaunting cars: the narrow road is shared with cyclists, horses and cars, and walking lets you stop for views. ยท Rick Steves forum, 2026
Walk the Gap of Dunloe: shuttle from Ross Castle to Kate Kearney's Cottage, walk about 7 miles, then boat back across the lakes. ยท Rick Steves forum, 2026
Take the Deros bus, boat and Kate Kearney's route from Killarney through the lakes to Ross Castle; guide Claire was a highlight. ยท TripAdvisor, 2022
Ride a jaunting car to Kate Kearney's, then walk the Gap road later when crowds thin; visit Kissane Sheepdog Farm before lunch. ยท Rick Steves forum
