Great ride, wonderful host, good views. - Mr McCarthy was a gracious host who took my wife and I on a lovely horse drawn carriage ride despite heavy rain and winds. He gave us a great overview of the area and it’s rich history. As we waited for our taxi, he brought out an accordion and played 3 Irish folk songs. Truly a wonderful experience.

A must do in Killarney! Family-owned business, perfect activity for inclement weather, and wonderful experience. - Damien and Molly (his horse) led us through the gorgeous landscape of the Killarney National Park to Muckross Abbey. Damien gave us a great overview of the area including valuable advice for how to spend the rest of our time in the Co. Kerry. His love for his heritage truly shows in his pride for his job and culture. This was a highlight of Kerry and we even got to see deer on our ride. Oh - almost forgot…. Beautiful Irish wool blankets were provided to keep up warm on the chilly November day and the covered cart kept us dry. Do not miss out on this!

Jaunting with great tour guide and precious horse Molly! - Our jaunting ride through Killarney National Park and to Ross Castle was an absolute highlight of our 10 day trip to Ireland! Damian was a fantastic guide - so friendly, engaging, and knowledgeable on the history of Killarney. He was also great at proactively taking photos so we have memories of our experience. His horse Molly was so sweet too! It was so fun travelling through the park on a Jaunting Car and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. We even saw some deer and other wildlife throughout our tour! Highly recommend!

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!
