Fabulous ride with Damian - Our jaunting car ride through Killarney National Park was an absolute highlight of our trip. The ride itself was comfortable and relaxed, allowing us to sit back and take in the gorgeous scenery—rolling green landscapes, lakes, and mountain views that felt straight out of a postcard. What made the experience truly memorable was our guide. With warmth and humour, he shared stories, history, bringing the park and its ruins to life in a way that was both entertaining and meaningful. Stopping at the historic ruins added another layer of depth, connecting the beauty of the landscape with its rich past. If you’re visiting Killarney, I can’t recommend this experience enough—it’s the perfect blend of comfort, scenery, history, and storytelling. A wonderful way to see the park and step into its magic - particularly with Damian.

Fantastic Jaunting Cart ride in Killarney National Park operated by McCarthy Killarney Carrage - McCarthy’s Jaunting Cart tour was amazing and a highlight of our trip! The carriage driver, Damien, was fantastic! He was friendly and informative with a sense of humor. The McCarthy family has deep roots in Ireland and it was evident in the historical information he was able to share. He and his mom at Shepherd’s Lodge B&B set a welcoming vibe that made us feel more like friends than a customer. We loved supporting a local business and family.
