So you walk the Gap of Dunloe, it's about 10 kilometres away from Clarny.

And then you can get what's called the traditional boat tour back.

It's the Gap of Dunloe traditional boat tours.

And I have to give a shout out to my tour guide yesterday, a guy called Donald Dux.

He was brilliant.

He knew every stone, every pebble, every twig in the entire national park.

He has such a rich knowledge of the landscape and the area.

I think he's 250 years of...

There's 250 years of the same family, the same multiple generations doing boat tours on the lakes.

And it was brilliant.

So seeing, I'm used to seeing the National Park from the peaks of mountains, through the woods, from trails, kind of the more adventurous side of things.

But it was really brilliant to see the National Park from a different perspective.

Seeing it from the lake was such a unique way of kind of exploring the park at a very leisurely and accessible pace.

Donal had his two dogs on the boat with us yesterday, which was nearly the best part of the trip as well.

Sat up with two gorgeous dogs on the boats beside us as we kind of cruised through the river and cruised through the lakes.

And if you're looking for a thing to do in the sunshine in Killarney, oh my God, it was fabulous.

It was such a nice change.

I kind of get carried away sometimes in looking for the great, not the good, the big adventure, the longest trail, the biggest mountain and kind of like only exclusively thinking about those big wild experiences.

And there's a time and place for that.

But sometimes it's not just about how you get outdoors.
