This was recommended by our wonderful guide at Nordic Visitor and it did not disapoiint. Great guide spotting deer viewpoints etc. A must do feel good with Killarney Jaunting Cars
We took the jaunting car trip through the park to the Ross Castle. It was a lovely ride with the driver pointing out special areas and landmarks with humor. The ride was comfortable and an interesting way to see the park. The animals seemed to be well-cared for. I recommend this if you get a chance.
We had a beautiful day made better by Michael and Sweetie. What a great ambassador for Killarney and the Jaunty Carts.
Lovely way to see Killarney National Park. If you wish to see inside Ross Castle, you’ll want to book before 5 pm as the museum and store there close at 5:15 pm.
I highly recommend using the Jaunting Cars to tour Killarney National Park. Our guide, Michael, was full of interesting information and very funny! He helped us make the most of our vlsit to Killarney.
Our jaunting car ride took us through Killarney National Park and made a stop at Ross Castle so that we had some time to wander around there. The scenery was lovely, and we saw quite a few deer in the park. Would recommend doing this if you have time!

Raymond with his horse Troy was the perfect driver/guide. Very personable and knowledgeable. Thoroughly enjoyed our hour tour to Ross Castle via the Killarney National Park.
