Oak woods, three lakes, red deer and a waterfall a short walk off the road. These Killarney National Park tours are compared on the ground they cover: the boat across the lakes, Muckross and Torc, the jaunting-car route through the demesne, and the long climb up Carrauntoohil for anyone who wants the highest ground in the country.

“The highlight of my trip to Ireland! Pierce was an excellent guide, kept us going at a good pace while making sure everyone was still ok. The routes were gorgeous. Definitely too challenging for me if I hadn't had a guide! Worth every penny to feel like I was on a journey with the Fellowship in Lord of the Rings.”

Ring of Kerry day tour from Cork with Killarney National Park, Sneem, Dingle Bay views, Waterville and Torc Waterfall.

“Beautiful scenery, but I felt that this tour was very commercialized. An hour at Killarney national park for a horse drawn carriage ride. Half hour at some model village. Group lunch (35-50 people). This could be time spent much better. Still giving it 4 stars, as the second part was lovely. But not sure I'd do it again. I would prefer a different tour.”

“I’m so glad we took the time to take this tour. Our carriage driver taught us so much history about Ireland and about the park, castle, monestary etc. There were other wagons passing us, but they seemed in a hurry. Our guide took time with us and even stopped to take pictures of us. The scenery is .breathtaking!”

Coach-driven Ring of Kerry day trip from Killarney with Bog Village, sheepdog show, Daniel O’Connell stops, and Killarney National Park views.

“The bus driver — Batt — provided knowledgeable insights throughout the trip, which included both general regional history as well as his own familial connections with places we saw. He was delightful, and even sang a few times. Now, there were a couple of stops which required cash. The company should let you know that. Also, they said you could bring your lunch. What they didn’t warn us about was not being able to eat your lunch indoors since you’re not a paying customer. We found that to be the opposite of the graciousness we’ve experienced throughout Ireland.”

Self-guided bike tour in Killarney National Park, stopping at Muckross House, Muckross Abbey, and Torc Waterfall with bikes and maps.

“I recommend the tour around the water! Good paths for cycling and walking! You can hop of the bikes for short or longer walks, we enjoyed a good walk to the Torc waterfall. You can also hop on boat trips, visit the cafe and Muckross museum and gardens. It's absolutely possible to spend a whole day just exploring this area of the national parc. If you bring kids, don't take this route, but maybe only the route to Muckross. Here is also possibility to visit playground and an old farm activity center.”
