5Relax and enjoy the views!
We thoroughly enjoyed our ride in the park. Damian is very friendly and knowledgeable. When we got to the Muckross Abbey, we had time to explore…very interesting!
5We had such a wonderful...
We had such a wonderful tour through the park to the Abbey. Our guide was knowledgeable, funny, and incredibly nice. Full of wonderful recommendations for us to see, eat, and do during our stay. The tour offered such beautiful sights and we will absolutely do it again on a return trip to Killarney.
5Guinness was such a good boy!!
Even though the weather wasn’t ideal, our tour guide and horse (Guinness) made it worth it. We saw dear, learned some history of the area and just enjoyed ourselves. Would highly recommend!!
5A change of pace was welcome
Fun experience in a horse-drawn cart with 7 others, through the Killarney National Park to the ruins of Ross Castle. The fine weather was a bonus. Driver was entertaining
4Quaint ride with great information
It just went into the national park to the Abbey and back but great history lessons along the way and wonderful stories.
5Lovely adventure!
Very friendly, very sweet with the horse, beautiful views, and got to see a gorgeous castle! Would highly recommend Petting cute dog was a great bonus

About Killarney
Killarney is a small County Kerry town beside a national park of lakes, mountains and old woodland, and the usual start of the Ring of Kerry.
Killarney National Park, on the town's doorstep, takes in three lakes and ancient oak and yew woods, with the MacGillycuddy's Reeks rising to the west, where Carrauntoohil is the highest mountain in Ireland. Muckross House is a Victorian mansion with gardens on a lake shore, Muckross Abbey is a ruined friary, Ross Castle stands on the water, and Torc Waterfall drops through the woods. The park shelters Ireland's only native herd of red deer.
