Very interesting experience - Excellent boat and carriage tour. Lots of fun staff to do and explore around Killarney. I recommend this tour while you’re in town for a short time to see Ross Castle and surrounding

Best in class #1 choice for Killarney Tour Horse Jaunting & Lake Cruise - Combination Killarney Jaunting Car Tour & Lake Cruise (by Tangney’s of Killarney). We booked the combo back to back jaunting (1 hour) and lake cruise (1 hour) tour for 36 Euros per person. JAUNTING: This is a ride in a traditional Killarney horse drawn carriage with bench seating for the guests in the back. We went with Tangney’s of Killarney - the oldest largest firm in Killarney for tours. Laura Tangney runs the company now of this 5th generation - 250 year old - Killarney business. They have 70 horses - as it is important to give them lots of rest days and pick horses only of great temperament. They have 12+ jaunting cars - as it is important to keep a good supply so all are in great condition. We learned most of the other operators in town are one horse operations so Tangney’s has so many business advantages. We got driver Laura Cotter (and gorgeous Gonzo the horse) who is to be commended as she was an expert driver and guide and just delightful - so bravo. The horse jaunting cart picked us up a the front door of the Killarney Park Hotel and we went on a stunning ride through the park to the boat dock in front of Ross Castle. A minute walk and we were at the boat for our lake cruise. LAKE CRUISE: left and returned to the boat dock directly in front of Ross Castle. Tour of lake Lough Lein on covered cabin (good for bad weather) The Lily of Killarney. ROSS CASTLE: as we were right there, we walked into the impressively done (free, no appointment) Exhibition Room of Ross Castle. The castle also does guided tours but those were sold out. The self directed Exhibition Room and walk around the grounds was a happy medium. RETURN: we had a ride arranged right back to the hotel from the parking lot at Ross Castle. Alternately it would have been a one hour walk back.

National Park Jaunt & Boat Ride - Informative and relaxing boat ride. Very nice jaunt with friendly guide who was knowledgeable about history of the local area.

Ross Castle excursion - Very beautiful setting! The narration on the boat & jaunting cart was interesting & fun. The guides were very knowledgeable & friendly! I recommend.

Fun - We were only able to the jaunting car because the lake was too rough but it was great. Our driver Michael was great fun and we loved our horse Gonzo.

Great scenery on oldest trip in Ireland! - This was great. We met at Ross Castle and were taken by van to meet our haunting car. Bernie and his horse Brodie then took us 7 miles through the Gap of Dunloe. The scenery was beautiful. There were lots of stops for pictures and you could walk for parts of the trip. We stopped and had lunch and then transferred to our boat for the hour trip back to Ross Castle. We enjoyed it - worth doing!

Cannot beat the People of Killarney - Excellent service The lakes and national park speak for themselves absolutely amazing. But it’s the people who make the trip 5 star the boat staff the jaunting drivers, people in Killarney are second to none for hospitality niceness, kindness and all round good fun. Thank you to you all you’ve bern unreal x

Very Enjoyable Activity - We enjoyed a ride on the jaunting car that included a nice tour through Killarney National Park where we were able to spot red tailed deer and Sika deer. Our guide was knowledgeable about the area and provided lovely commentary. We then took a cruise around the lower lake and saw many of the 30 islands. Also saw the white tailed sea eagle - a pair in flight. Our guide for this portion was also very knowledgeable and friendly. A very nice afternoon spent in this beautiful area.

The Jaunting car tour was... - The Jaunting car tour was very good. Dan was a great driver and Abby was a great horse. Very enjoyable

Nice combo trip - The combination tour is probably a bit pricier paying up front vs paying in person but it was nice. The jaunting car trip was pretty short (just 25 mins) although the boat ride was an hour long. One word of caution…make sure you tell your cab driver to go all the way to the castle car park. Ours dropped us off 1/2 mile short…lovely walk but we were almost late.
