Overview
If you’re someone who loves history and prefers to plan ahead, book your Killarney horse-and-carriage tour in good time. With multiple departures spread across the day, choose the slot that suits you best. Then let your knowledgeable “jaunting car” driver guide you through town—the old-fashioned way.
Highlights
  • Explore Killarney in a traditional Irish horse and carriage (“jaunting car”)
  • See the 15th-century tower house of Ross Castle and look for native red deer
  • Learn about Killarney’s history and culture from your carriage driver
  • Choose the perfect time to suit your travel plans
What to Expect
Greet your driver at the Malton Hotel in central Killarney—and pet the horse, if you’d like. Climb aboard and relax as you trot through the town and your driver points out landmarks. Pass St. Mary’s Cathedral, a charming thatched cottage, and Killarney House Gardens before you clip-clop into Killarney National Park. The country’s last herd of native red deer frequent the deer park, so keep your eyes peeled as you admire the misty mountains across the lake. As you approach Ross Castle, a 15th-century tower house, your carriage driver will tell you tales of its heroic past. Enjoy a photo stop here before you return to the tour's starting point.

Great way to spend time in Killarney
We had a wonderful ride, it was a cold day so we were happy there were wool blankets provided. Donnell provided information on the area and there we had plenty of photo opportunities along the way. Great way to get a park overview!

Not as scenic as expected
We assumed we would see alot of the park on a jaunt to Ross Castle, but it was a ride through mostly wooded areas (where you may see deer) on the way to the castle, and then back through the outskirts of Killarney. The only place where you see iconic park vistas is at the…

Great start to the day!
We had a great start to our day with Michael and Molly Malone on the 9:30 tour to Ross Castle. Michael was very friendly, knowledgeable and funny. The ride was the perfect amount of time to see the lake and Ross Castle before we were off to our next adventure!
