Enjoyable, relaxing, and beautiful. - Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the ride around the lake was beautiful. He knew all the history of Killarney national park and had great recommendations about where we should go in town. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to see pearls of the national park and learn about its history!

Best Way to See the Park - The national park is amazing. Our cart driver, Damien, was very knowledgeable and friendly. He included a lot of information on the history of the park and gave us time that explore the church ruins on our own. Additionally, Molly (the horse) was delightful!

A fun and informative tour. - We did the Killarney National Park tour today and what a wonderful time. Our guide (sorry but I forgot his name but he is one of the sons) and horse Molly were amazing. He had a wonderful knowledge of the park and area, a quick wit and excellent personality. We saw Sika deer, ducks, birds and the black cattle that are native to Ireland. We also stopped at the Ross Castle and was able to get out and walk around for a bit. I highly recommend this company.

Wonderful Tour - I wish I could give this 6 ⭐️ honestly!! Our guide called that morning to give us a reminder as well as help us with directions. Once there, our guide was phenomenal!! He took such amazing care of us! We got to learn all about Killarney & the Park & the Abbey. He was funny and informative. My dad was able to get out and get a bunch of pictures of the Abbey while the guide and I talked. Such a wonderful company & ride. I would highly recommend them. I felt like they obviously took excellent care of their horses, which I didn’t feel like I saw that same care given by other companies. This is a smaller organization but I would take them over a big company any day.

Jaunting Cart with Damien through Killarney is a MUST DO! - Oh my gosh! What a magical experience! My boyfriend and I booked this through Viator and are so glad we did. It started with a cup of hot cocoa and snuggling under a blanket in the cart on a crisp fall morning. It is truly a family-run operation and Damien (the son) was our guide. He was so knowledgeable and personable to talk to. He pointed out the wildlife to us, shared the history of the area, explained the geography of the land and more! Damien took us to the Ross Castle for us to explore for a few minutes and then helped us plan the rest of our day in Killarney. All of his recommendations did not disappoint! Thank you for such and incredible experience and unforgettable memories through a beautiful place!

Highly Recommend McCarthy's Carriage Rides - Outstanding! Enjoyed our tour of Killarney National Park. Damien our guide was great! He shared his knowledge of the park and Killarney area as well as answered our questions on things to do additionally during our visit to Ireland's west coast. The Dingle Peninsula tour was recommended and truly appreciated. Highly recommend McCarthys Carriage Rides!

Phenomenal Ride - We had an amazing guide who was friendly, inquisitive & incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Killarney & the National Park. We left with wonderful photos, and richer for the experience. While a smaller company, we felt they showed dedication to both their home & its history but also a dedication to the animals that make it possible.
