A lovely ride through Killarney National Park

Lovely way to see Killarney National Park. If you wish to see inside Ross Castle, you’ll want to book before 5 pm as the museum and store there close at 5:15 pm.

Jaunt Away!

Mike & Rosie were awesome! We enjoyed every minute of our jaunting car ride through Killarney Park. We saw deer, dairy cows, unique birds, and lots of greenery. The view of Ross Castle was wonderful too. Highly recommend this excursion.

Ellen_H, Aug 2024

Great

The drive through town then into this massive park. Beautiful lake and castle. Loved the horse Queeny and the driver Michael was knowledgeable

Christina_N, Jul 2024

Great experiences for families

We had a great time on our jaunting car tour. Definitely give this a try if you are traveling with young kids. We covered a lot of ground that we could not have done on foot (or by bike). This was a lovely way to start our morning in Killarney before we started out by car for the coast. Our driver was on time, kind, and friendly. Our daughter loved the experience, and the 10-15 minute stop at Ross Castle was plenty. (Because there are A LOT of castles in Ireland.)
