We had a wonderful experience with our jaunting tour. We went during the time of the fuel protests and our guide was able to navigate through the chaos. We enjoyed learning about Killarney National Park. We especially enjoyed our High Tea at Great Southern as well. This tour is highly recommended. I have a 6 and 9 year old who enjoyed as well.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable jaunting car experience, even with the unexpected excitement around the fuel protests—fair play to your jarvey for keeping things running smoothly! It’s great to know you enjoyed learning about Killarney National Park along the way. We’re especially pleased that the Afternoon Tea at the Great Southern was a highlight, and that your whole family, including your 6 and 9 year olds, had such a memorable time. Thank you again for the recommendation, we truly appreciate it and hope to welcome you all back to Killarney again in the future!

Great Day with Molly

Cynthia_B, May 2025

We are so glad we did this tour. Our guide was so much fun and we fell in love with his horse (Molly). Our guide took us through the National Park and it was beautiful. We had a little rain that day but you are in a covered cart and it was not a problem at all. Great day overall.

Jaunty Ride and Tea

Very beautiful ride and outstanding driver. Such a wonderful time! Maggie was our horse and Calem was our driver. If you do anything while in Killarney, do this! Amazing!

Jaunting through the Park

Rita_C, Oct 2024

Jaunting through Killarney National Park and being regaled by yarns and facts provided by the driver. Tea at The Great Southern Hotel was elegant and the perfect conclusion to a fun afternoon.
