We had a wonderful experience on the Killarney Jaunting Cars with our fantastic driver, Mickey, who was particularly attentive and helpful with our daughter Alice and her friend Jordan, who are both young adults with disabilities. He made it extra fun than usual and added to the beautiful experience in the national park and at the castle and lake. We would have loved to give Mickey a big tip but we had no Euros as we are just using a card whilst here in Ireland for just a few days, but thanks heaps for the great experience
Unforgettable experience!

It was very short but absolutely beautiful. We didn’t get our jarveys name but he told us all about the wildlife and flora. Some history and his beautiful horse Bailey.
Great idea!
