5Extra special for our kiddo!
A delightful and charming way to explore Killarney National Park! The traditional horse-drawn carriage ride was a huge hit with everyone in our group. Our guide, Daimian, was wonderfully engaging, telling great stories about the history, wildlife, and landmarks along the path. He was so engaging with our 6 year old and invited her to ride up front with him so she could see and check out the beautiful horse, Molly. It was a relaxing, picturesque ride through stunning scenery that felt truly authentic.
5Best tour host of our trip!!
Our guide Damian was lovely. He was historically knowledgeable and told great stories. He was also a treasure trove of information including sending us to Muckross Abbey, which was amazing, and recommending using the Shannon ferry saving us lots of diving time on our way to the cliffs of Moher. We can’t recommend this tour enough. Our horse Molly was beautiful and looked so very healthy.
5Amazing tour!
We had an amazing tour with Damien and Duke. Damien was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the area and history. Would highly recommend getting a tour from Damien! It’s a great way to see the park and learn about Killarney. He was also super helpful with other spots to visit on our travels. Wish we could have stayed longer ❤️ but will definitely be back.

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.
