How long does it take to "see" Killarney National Park

Hi, trying to plan our visit to Killarney National Park. Hubby and I are sleeping in Kenmare, not Killarney, for 3 nights. One day we will do the ROK, another day I was hoping to do a day trip in the park where you take a boat through the lakes and then cycle down the gap of dunloe to Kate's cottage. We only have a half day left (the other half we just want to rest and do laundry). Is there still time for us to see the Torc waterfall? And maybe muckross house? I'm trying to divide the time spent here and the time we spend in Dingle...Any ideas would be appreciated!

Hi Yes a half day would do to see the Torc waterfall and Muckross house

drive from kenmare to killarney. Go to Muckross house first and get tickets for Tour and also if you wish the folk farm

Tours are guided, takes about 1 hour.

Folk farm .not guided but walk around and also internal bus .allow 1 to 2 hours .

Go see Muckross Abbey..about 20 minute walk from Muckross house.

Go see Ross Castle...Tours available ..can be busy.

See waterfall on way home short 10 minute walk from road

Enjoy
