Take a Jaunting Car ride with the McCarthy’s

We had a wonderful time with Darin and Duke! We visited the Mulcross Abbey and the national forest. We learned about the history and the mountains and the lochs! Great conversation and experience!

Beautiful scenery

Damien (driver) and Daisy (horse) made this an unforgettable experience as part of our stay in Killarney. Damien was extremely knowledgeable and provided so much great information both historical and present day. I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking for aa way to enhance their visit to the area.

Had a terrific time with 6 family members.

Great experience with McCarthy’s, Damien was terrific. We highly recommend using them as they have a family business and the pick up spot is a private lot in their family’s bnb. They take great care of their horses as well. We did the abbey tour in Killarney national Park. Cheat code - their is a Spar convenience store 2 minutes away that has a great selection, very clean, great food and extra parking.

Owen makes the Tour!

I just wanted to give a shoutout to Owen, our driver on 7/13 who drove us to the national park. I’m certain Jaunting Cars get hundreds of positive comments about Owen, and I’ll just join the list. He tells wonderful stories, provides interesting information, and is an all-around likable character. His passion for the horses really shines through. Thanks for sending us Owen!
