What Our Guests Are Saying
Boat Ride & Lovely Jaunt
"Wonderful fun outing in Killarney National Park. Wonderful guides and Jessie the horse did a fantastic job. Would highly recommend this combination."
Just Lovely
"We did this tour in the evening and had James as our guide. I think the evening was the perfect time, the sunset was perfect. Our horse was Crystal and she was doing a great job. Then we went to the brewery after and had some really good pizza and a pint." 
A "MUST DO" when you visit Ireland!
"This is a MUST DO when you visit Ireland! You will be in awe at the beauty of the Killarney National Park. Our Jaunting coach's name was Calvin and his horse was Maggie. Maggie was his grandfather's horse. He was funny, personable and knew lots of information about Ireland and the specific area. LOVED this incredible experience! Buíochas! (Thank you in Gaelic). "

Family Trip To Gap Of Dunloe.
"Took my wife and 2 kids (17 and 24 yrs old). We took the boat ride from Killarney at Ross Castle and picked up the horses half way at Lord Brandon’s cottage. It was a beautiful day. Cathal was our guide on the boat. He was great, very knowledgeable. Very friendly. Was the most beautiful ride through the lakes and the mountains. Amazing scenery, some of the most beautiful sights. Would highly recommend this to any one of any age!!" 
So Much Fun And Amazing Views.
"We had so much fun and really enjoyed the tour. It was a great way to see the park without having to walk the entire thing. And our guide Johnny was very friendly and gave us so much information and history on the park. It was cold out when we went and it was nice to end with hot tea afterwards. We would highly recommend this and we would definitely do it again."
