Outdoor Activities in Killarney

Meursault

Hi All,

can you recommend some outdoor activities for adults in the Killarney region.

It would be a group of around 10 - 12. Open to all suggestions - cycling, kayaking, etc, etc.

If there is an event organiser in Kilarney, it would be great if you could let me know.

cheers

Can you be a little more specific, which would you prefer???

Canoeing on the Lake or Laune
Guided hike up Carrantouhill
Cycle Tour
Boat on the Lakes & hike the Gap

Loads to do but if you norrow it down, I'll give you the operators

any of the above really, but maybe something nearer to Killarney. I assume Carrantouhill and the Gap are out of town a bit?

You can do the Gap/Lakes.
Boat from Ross Castle to Lord Brandons Cottage, Hike down the Gap to Kate Kearneys Cottage and get the Bus back to Killarney

If you like walks, Mangerton and Torc much nearer, Torc particularly accessible with a boardwalk to the top. No need for guides.

Pass it pretty often and no sign of life

Try the Killarney High Ropes in Fossa, a few miles outside of town.
