Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Life2TravelCharlotte, NC1,970 contributionsThis is a beautiful national park in Killarney. Be sure to start your visit at the visitor's center, they were friendly. helpful and provided maps and a plan for the several hours we had to spend. You could easily spend the entire day or more here, hiking the paths, driving to see different vistas, enjoying the wildlife, horse and carriage ride (jaunting car) or visiting some of the historic sites such as Muckross House and Ross Castle.
The visitors center helped us with a plan for our visit and provided maps. We walked along the trails near the center enjoying the scenery and took a self guided tour of the Muckross House. We drove to Ross Castle and enjoyed a warm drink and scone at the outdoor garden cafe while we waiting for our guided tour. We really enjoyed the guided tour. Being limited on time, we drove the park roads south towards Kenmare and stopped at the different vistas which are well marked along the route. We wish we would have had more time to explore this beautiful park.Written 19 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The views are beautiful and change around every curve. Beware of sheep in the road, on-coming local cars (they drive it much faster than we did), and sharp turns. Our intent was to use a Jaunte Car but they were not running the morning we went.Written 27 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Life2TravelCharlotte, NC1,970 contributionsThis was one of our first stops in the National Park. A tour of the house is self guided, I always find I get so much more out of historic sights with a guide. The staff were scattered throughout the house and were friendly and willing to answer any questions we had. The gardens were lovely. We didn't have time to visit the farm.Written 15 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Life2TravelCharlotte, NC1,970 contributionsThe guided tour with Marie was well worth the time, about 45 minute tour. You get so much more out of these historic sights with a guide explaining the history and the lives of the occupants. It was a small group of only about 15 peopleWe had to wait a bit until the tour started, there was a cute little outdoor cafe behind the castle that served refreshments. There are tables to sit and relax with views of the castle. Admission was included in our OPW Heritage Card.Written 15 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Life2TravelCharlotte, NC1,970 contributionsThe waterfall was a short walk from the car park and since it had been a few days of rain, the water was really flowing. Not the most impressive waterfall I have seen, but worth a stop if you have the time. It is not out of the way.Written 15 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Misty WMarietta, GA182 contributionsWe've done falconry once before, nine years ago, and you just can't beat the experience of interacting with the birds. Geoffrey took us on a great one hour hawk walk where we met Arizona (hawk) and two different types of owls (Professor and Helen). He has a wealth of stories and facts on the birds, and has a great sense of humor. And the pictures and video we made are incredible - we're using one of the pics for our Christmas card this year. The building/meeting place itself is off a small road and isn't well labeled, but will likely have a van with the company logo on it so you'll know you're in the right place. Would definitely do again if we return to Killarney.Written 18 November 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Life2TravelCharlotte, NC1,970 contributionsThis Is one of the small viewing areas along the drive from Killarney to Kenmare (or the reverse). There is a small pull off with some signs and a cafe across the street. It was a quick photo stop for us.Written 15 January 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Deborah P3 contributionsThis is amazing!
We signed up for the private experience, so there were just the two of us. Patrick, our falconer, answered all our questions.
Absolutely would book this again!Written 15 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We went later in the day near sunset and only a few other people were at the site. The Waze app had us questioning if we were in the right place; but, we ended up at a small parking lot and very close to the abbey. But, there was still some walking to do. The grounds were well kept, clean. The site was really something out of a movie. I wanted to look and read every script/headstone. There was even ancient graffiti, if you will. It really felt like a holy, solemn placeWritten 29 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Connie RWilliamston, MI37 contributionsWe came in for the beer and heard they had wood fired pizza. My husband had the Casey Brothers, I had Devils Helles. We ordered a pizza, half Mediterranean/half pollo pesto. Great beer, delicious pizza.

- Travellingallovertheplace61 contributionsThis is one of the best Attractions in Killarney.
The Traditional farms are a great walk around with lots of animals.
These farms were are a throw back in time and I always visit them when I'm in Killarney.Written 24 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The gardens are excellent and in my opinion better than Muckross house gardens. The whole thing is refreshingly free and used by the public. Excellent area. I really enjoyed it and it’s an easy walk from the downtown core. If I was a local I would gladly use this area regularly.Written 19 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Holly_M_99Chichester, UK51 contributionsThis is a heck of a walk! It’s steep but the path is very clear and well-maintained the whole way to the very top. And it’s so worth the climb as the views all the way are beautiful, then you get 360 at the top, with various lakes in sight and a huge sense of achievement. We walked from the bottom, by Muckross Lake, to see the waterfall first then carried on up.

It was built.between the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century in a gothic style. It is a typical church in Ireland, which you can visit and see.the altar and the main organ. Very nice place to come after visiting Killarney National Park.Written 27 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
