A great fun way to get around Killarney Great experience. Very informative guides who were also personable and friendly. We all fell in love with Maggie the horse - who seems very well looked after. I hope she enjoyed her Guinness that night! Very slickly organised too between the boat and car. A great way to see the Lough and the National Park. Would recommend.

Patrick made our tour the memory of a lifetime!! My six year old was all smiles! He had the best time and wants to do it again as soon as possible (which sadly will not be soon enough as we live in the US). Can’t wait to return!

Exploring Killarney National Park from Ross Castle by Land & Lake We booked the Combination Killarney Jaunting Car Tour & Lakes of Killarney Cruise through Viator. It was a little more expensive than booking each activity separately on-site, but for the convenience and ease of having everything organized, I think it was well worth it. The tour starts at Ross Castle, which was easy to find. Parking was free and plentiful, making for a stress-free start. My only regret is not planning our timing a little better. We arrived around 2:00 p.m. for our 3:15 lake cruise and 4:15 jaunting car tour, but we had just missed the last available Ross Castle tour that fit our schedule. If touring the castle is important to you, I'd recommend planning around those tour times. We boarded the waterbus from the dock behind the castle, and it departed right on time. The one-hour cruise was beautiful! Our captain was friendly and knowledgeable, sharing a great mix of local history, wildlife facts, and interesting stories while pointing out all the highlights around the lakes. We were especially glad we booked the later afternoon cruise because the morning fog had lifted, giving us spectacular views of the mountains and some incredible photo opportunities. After the cruise, we walked to the wooden bridge to meet our jaunting car. The only hiccup of the day was figuring out which carriage was ours since there were several lined up with no obvious signage. Thankfully, everyone was helpful, and we found the right one quickly. The jaunting car tour ended up being our favorite part of the experience. Our guide, John, was charming, funny, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about Killarney National Park. He stopped at all the best viewpoints so we could take photos and shared fascinating stories about the area's history and landmarks along the way. And, of course, Vinny—the beautiful, well-trained horse who pulled our carriage—was an absolute star! The jaunting car ride lasted about 45 minutes through the stunning scenery of the park, bringing the total experience to around 1 hour and 45 minutes. Overall, this was a fantastic way to experience two of Killarney's must-do activities in one seamless outing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a relaxing, scenic afternoon. Thanks for the wonderful adventure!

Good way to see the park 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.

Killarney jaunting cars was perfect. We got into town late and booked the Ross castle tour last minute. Within 20 minutes of our booking Louis showed up with Katy (the beautiful Irish draft horse), they took us through Killarney national park and to see Ross castle. Louis was polite and very informative. Would definitely recommend taking this tour!!

Louise at Tagney Tours was stellar! So accommodating and helpful and exuded Irish hospitality and charm. This experience was by far the best day of our trip and it was a spectacular trip. So the bar was very high!

Nature retreat by Jaunting Car and River Boat Words cannot describe the beauty of nature on this once in a lifetime experience. Laura welcomed us in the morning at the beautiful Ross Castle. A jaunting car ride through the gap of Dunloe was breathtaking! Please bring cash if you are planning on eating lunch there as it is CASH ONLY. I recommend this be included in information provided for future participants. The river boat ride with Eric was my favorite part. He made the whole boat laugh and learn about the three lakes. We saw a ram/mountain goat and it was truly an amazing nature retreat. Thank you so much!

It was a blustery day, as Winnie the Pooh said, but we had a wonderful jaunt round the park. Our horse, Joey, had a real personality, and David, our jarvey, was very personable and knowledgeable about the area. He gave us a couple recommendations for pub music and we made it a point to visit both of them. We tacked on the cream tea after the jaunt, and there was truly enough sweets and finger foods to feed a small army, so the two of us were more than satiated. Of course lots of good, strong, black Irish tea was also served! Highly recommended tour and tea!!

We did the jaunting car and lake cruise combination. Due to unforeseen circumstances we were afraid we'd need to cancel the experience, but the staff was very understanding and kept our reservation open for any time that we could accommodate. If that isn't worth a five star review on its own, I don't know what is. Our jarvey was David, filled with charisma and charm, his wit and humor made for an excellent ride. He provided backstory on not only the area, but also Bob's (the horse) and his own. He gave my wife a great tip for adding a shot of blackcurrant to Guinness, and provided great recommendations for drinks and food in town. Aside from that, we probably couldn't have picked a better day to visit. It had been raining throughout the trip, but on this morning the sun came out and we were greeted with a rainbow. David remarked how unusual the weather was and was happy he was working that morning.

He made it extra fun than usual and added to the beautiful experience in the national park and at the castle and lake.

We had a wonderful tour with Dave and Charlie. The weather was rainy but we were snug inside. Dave was a charming guide and we learned interesting things and had a friendly chat. A lovely way to tour Killarney National Park.

We rode with Troy and Michael. It was the highlight of our entire 8 week vacation! Michael was very informative and Troy was such a great horse! We also saw 6 plus deer in the forest. I highly recommend the tour.

Skip the castle but hang with the jarvey It was very short but absolutely beautiful. We didn’t get our jarveys name but he told us all about the wildlife and flora. Some history and his beautiful horse Bailey.

Excellent! Couldn’t have been any better. Our coachman, Visch, was very friendly and knowledgeable. It was a bit chilly, and he provided blankets for all of us. He pointed out wildlife and scenery in the park that we may have not noticed on our own. Visch’s horse, Fiona, is a charmer!

Really lovely experience! We went through Killarney National Park with our driver Eoin & lovely “Molly” providing the horse power. Eoin was no nice, informative & friendly, & Molly was a dote. Don’t miss this if you’re in Killarney!

Fun tour with kids My kids (4 and 7yrs) and I had the best time seeing Ross Castle and the park in the Jaunting car tour! Michael was absolutely amazing and learned so much about the area! He was very accommodating to me and my kids and we really enjoyed our time. The boat ride was very relaxing and David was very knowledgeable! Highly recommend!

Absolutely delightful David with a wicked sense of humour. He made the journey through the Killarney National Park interesting and fun. Explained to us how well the horses were treated, and some of his words of wisdom will never leave us. Our tour was followed up by High Tea in the Great Southern Hotel. The food was excellent and varied, the ambience was elegant and our hostess, Martina, was most attentive. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area.

Fabulous experience. Lovely driver, gorgeous horse "Samson", who was rather partial to a chopped up apple 😁. The horse, not the driver 😂. It's a great old fashioned way to enjoy a trip. Would thoroughly recommend. Go and enjoy 😁

Well worth the price…it won’t be my last time doing that trip! Had a very relaxing trip with Paul steering our boat. He was an absolute gentleman. My son and I almost missed the boat but Paul welcomed us on at the last minute. The tour is well worth the price and you get a very detailed history about the lakes, islands and buildings.I would take the trip again in the morning!

Thoroughly enjoyed our trip through the National Park to Ross Castle. Our horse Nancy was a pure professional and the driver very knowledgeable. It was a huge hit with our kids who love sightseeing but complain about too much walking!! There were ZERO complaints on the Jaunting Car! They loved it as much as we did and we all highly recommend Tangney Tours, we'll definitely be back again to try out some of the other tours available 🙂

Killarney Jaunting Tours were a real highlight of the wedding week I planned for a group visiting from the States. The guests couldn’t say enough good things – they described the jarveys and boatmen as “so knowledgeable and humorous.” As an event planner, it’s great to work with a team I can fully trust to deliver a brilliant experience. Thanks to Laura, Louise, and all the team for looking after them so well.

Raymond was an absolute delight! Great history and stories, and its was lovely to have the entire cart to ourselves. Was a lovely way to spend the hour. Ross castle is towards the end of the ride (if that's the option you choose) so you could have them just leave you there if it's on your list to see. Pickup location took us a min to find, so just be sure to leave yourself a little time to do so. Highly recommend. Note, these are not the same Jaunting Cars that do the Gap of Dunloe

Good Fun…….. Very stress free cruise lasting a hour. The running commentary was both interesting and informative with some humour included. Boat was very comfortable with windows that could be opened, ideal for photography on a wet day which we had. Scenery was stunning and impressive. High recommended trip to take when in the area.

We had the pleasure of taking the Gap of Dunloe Janting cart tour. The travel up through the gap on the horse drawn jaunting cart was a fantastic experience. The second part of the tour consisting of a motor boat tour through the rivers and lakes of the area was incredibly beautiful. Patrick, our guide on the boat tour, shared tons of facts about the area we were touring. I would highly recommend this tour.

We had an excellent jaunting car ride. We were running late to arrive and they were able to accommodate us. The process was easy and our driver Calvin was knowledgeable. Our horse Ginger was also fantastic. The afternoon tea at the Great Southern Hotel was terrific too. We had multiple dietary restrictions in our party and they were able to accommodate everyone
