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.

Lovely Afternoon in Killarney

carol_c, Sep 2026

This was a beautiful and amazing experience! Our beautiful horse, Rosy was perfect and gently took us on a fantastic ride, with stunning views. Her dad (sorry I forgot his name) was fun and informative. He told us details about the scenery, history and also entertained us with a few quips and jokes. He made the afternoon delightful and safely delivered us to our afternoon tea. The tea was also amazing, Jackson was very pleasant and attentive, he answered all of our questions and continuously checked on us to make sure we pleased and satisfied. We loved the room where we very much enjoyed the tea, the style and décor was beautiful and very pleasingly appropriate. We highly recommend this experience & thank your for a lovely afternoon in Killarney!

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

Nancy_K, May 2025

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.
