We did the Killarney Jaunting Car Tour combined with high tea at Great Southern Hotel. Our driver Johnny was informative but also hilarious…had me laughing at all his sly jokes. We arrived a few minutes early but he was ready for us and off we went. Even let us sit up front. The blankets were appreciated. The tea was lovely even though it was uncomfortably quiet in the tea room — nothing said louder than a whisper.

We took a ride on the Jaunting Car through the Killarney National Park during a week's tour of Ireland. The experience was amazing. We were lucky with the weather, which helped. The scenery in the park was superb. The Jaunting Car itself was as comfortable as such a vehicle could be. The driver was both informative and entertaining with his witty sense of humour. He also showed a great rapport with the horse and treated the animal with great kindness.
It was a wonderful trip and thoroughly recommendable.

We recently used Killarney Jaunting Cars while in Killarney. We done the Gap of Dunloe and Lakes of Killarney trip.

From booking the trip to the trip itself we were looked after with exceptional care, especially in these strange times.

We had two jaunting cars each of which were driven expertly through the beautiful Gap by Pat & Mary. They were both full of stories and genial banter on our journey.

On the return trip through the three amazing Lakes of Killarney Dux was our pilot. He’s a genuinely lovely guy who put our nervous youngest totally at ease.

A big thank you to Laura & Michael Tangney for putting this great day out together for us. Great memories were made on the day.

We will definitely do this trip again in the future.

Had a great trip to Ross Castle with Michael. Before we started he wiped the jaunting car with disinfectant, and had hand sanitizer in the door of the cab which he insisted we use.

The trip took c.25 mins (Each way) to the castle and along the way he was full of tall tales and fishy stories that the kids loved, definitely worth a try with kids.

We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day! It was a cool but sunny day and the scenery was stunning. Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable. We loved learning about the history of this place and walking around the castle. This was a highlight of our trip and could not have done anything better! Thank you!!!

We booked a trip to Ross Castle based on the reviews of an “engaging guided tour through the National Park”. It was neither tbh. We got a young lad who quite frankly couldn’t have given a toss. We were booked for 3.15 so perhaps we were trip 4 or 5 of the day but still, he hardly spoke, when he did we didn’t understand a word. It wasn’t an enjoyable experience. I tipped him at the end for nothing other us being polite. I’m still angry at myself for handing over that extra bare minimum amount.

Try somewhere else. This isn’t worth the money.

We had a tour with Danny and Paddy, it was brilliant, we all had a fantastic experience. Danny gave us background on the locations and we also saw Red deer 🦌 and Kerry Cows. I would highly recommend Danny and the jaunting car tours.

This was a super enjoyable experience. Our guide was Michael and he was great. He was very informative and had a lovely relaxed manner about him. He let us stop to get coffees!! He also let my 5 and 3 year old ride up front with them. They loved this. He was great with them. It was the highlight of their holiday. I would highly recommend this company and I would defo book a trip with them again.

I experienced a jaunting cart tour on a recent visit to Ireland as part of a tour group. Personally, I was not that impressed with the Jaunting Cart ride. We took a tour into Killarney National Park, and our Jarvey, seemed nice enough, but we could not even understand the poor fella. He had such a thick irish brogue, and told these silly jokes about, honeymooners, honeymoons, etc, ??Nobody on the cart was on a honeymoon. We all laughed because we didn't have a clue as to what he was trying to say. Now, one of the gentleman from our group, rode up front, and was from Boston. Apparently, our Jarvey asked him a ton of questions about Travelers being in Boston, etc. So that lead him, to believe that maybe our Jarvey was a traveler, which I later found out, is a gypsy. I dont' know if he was or not.
Anyway, the ride took us to a old half demolished church/cemetary. We really had no idea what we were looking at, and two people in the tour ( we were part of a large tour group) were freaked out, because there was a fresh burial site at the cemetary. It didn't bother me, but I can see how some might not like it. I also thought some of the horse's were not very well groomed. Some looked like they had not been washed or brushed in quiet a while, and my hand was was filthy black after petting one of the horses. Also, one of the horses had a reddened area under his mane, when I moved the hair back, and a red area on his rump. Personally, this made me feel sad, and I found it to be depressing. The same horse was pulling a cart behind ours, and he kept bumping his head into our cart. The poor horse kept snorting and had that wild eye look the whole time. So, not only did I find the cart ride a tad boring ,I thought the horses could have been better groomed. I mean if this is your livelyhood, I would think the horse would be a prize asset, and washed and groomed and looking it's best. . Anyway, if you go on a Jaunting Car tour, find out where the Jarvey is going to take you as this can make a difference in an interesting ride or not, , make sure you can undesrtand him, for obvious reasons, and pick one who takes pride in a well groomed horse.
