Horse-drawn tradition, wild landscapes, and Ireland’s whiskey heritage combine on this immersive journey through Killarney. The experience begins aboard a traditional jaunting car, traveling from the lively town streets into the peaceful setting of Killarney National Park. Along the route, insight is shared into local history while passing notable landmarks and entering a landscape shaped by ancient woodlands, roaming red deer, and sweeping views of the MacGillycuddy Reeks. The journey continues to Ross Castle, a striking 15th-century fortress overlooking the Lakes of Killarney, where time is allowed to explore the grounds and uncover its legends. The experience concludes in a welcoming local pub, where a guided whiskey tasting introduces a curated selection of renowned Irish brands, including regional expressions. Tastings are thoughtfully paired with Irish cheeses. Rich in atmosphere and storytelling, the tour blends scenery, history, and tradition into a distinctly Killarney experience.
