Tour Highlights

What You’ll Experience on Your Killarney National Park Tour

Embark on a journey through Killarney National Park tours, where each stop offers a unique glimpse into Ireland’s natural beauty and rich history. With Mary G as your guide, you’ll explore these unforgettable locations:

Killarney National Park

Venture into Killarney National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve where rugged mountains meet serene lakes, all under the shadow of Ireland’s highest peaks. This natural wonderland, home to Red Deer and ancient Oak Woodlands, is a must-see on your tour.

Torc Waterfall,

Feel the mist on your face as you approach Torc Waterfall, a majestic cascade that roars to life after the rain. A short, enchanting walk through a Native Forest brings you to this iconic natural spectacle at the foot of Torc Mountain.

Killarney House and Gardens

Step into the past at Killarney House, the elegant gateway to the National Park. Wander through Ireland’s longest herbaceous border and stroll along the Cherry Blossom Walk, where history and beauty entwine.

Killarney Town

Discover the charm of Killarney, where the town’s vibrant history meets the tranquil shores of Lough Leane. It’s your perfect starting point for exploring the natural wonders that surround it.

Muckross House, Gardens & Traditional Farms

Immerse yourself in the grandeur of Muckross House, a stately mansion nestled by Muckross Lake. Explore the lush gardens and step back in time at the traditional farms, where history comes to life within the historic Muckross Estate.

Ross Castle

Perched on the shores of Lough Leane, Ross Castle whispers tales of ancient Ireland. Watch the sunrise over the lake, and if you’re lucky, you might just glimpse the legendary O’Donoghue riding across the waters.

Aghadoe Heights

Take in the sweeping views from Aghadoe Heights, where the lakes and mountains of Killarney, including Mangerton Mountain and Purple Mountain, unfold before you. This is the spot to capture the perfect postcard moment.

Gap of Dunloe

Embark on a journey through the Gap of Dunloe, a breathtaking mountain pass sculpted by glaciers. Whether you walk, cycle, or ride in a jaunting car, this magical route will leave you spellbound, offering views of the Special Area of Conservation and the wild beauty that defines County Kerry.
