Outstanding Pony & Trap Tour of the Gap of Dunloe! - Outstanding! Our tour guide and his horse were so nice and friendly. The Gap of Dunloe has scenery that reminds you of a wonderful painting. It's just beautiful. Seeing it quiet and calm with a horse made it so special. I highly recommend this experience.

Family trip to Gap of Dunloe - Took my wife and 2 kids (17 and 24 yrs old). We took the boat ride from Killarney at Ross Castle and picked up the horses half way at Lord Brandon’s cottage. It was a beautiful day. Cathal was our guide on the boat. He was great, very knowledgeable. Very friendly. Was the most beautiful ride through the lakes and the mountains. One of the most beautiful sceneries. Patrick picked us up at the cottage and we did the horse buggy ride down. My wife recently fractured her foot and they were so attentive to make sure she was okay and comfortable. Amazing scenery, some of the most beautiful sights. Would highly recommend this to any one of any age!!
