Reviews
"Very beautiful park with absolute stunning views of mountains, river. There is a garden just before the park entrance and there is a river walk which feels so soothing. Absolutely loved the place, the walk here can be long as you want or else you can take the horse rides available nearby. Around 1 hour walk in the park you will reach to Ross castle and from there you can walk more to Ross island. There are plenty boat tours available, but needs booking. The place has been kept absolutely clean and walk will be memorable"
"A must visit if in the area even if you are only driving through it. The mountain passes as wonderful if riding a motorbike with the twists and turns, if you are in a car there are sufficient passing places for getting through the narrower sections and for photo opportunities. Will visit again."
"A beautiful spot with many different types of trails to walk, suitable for people with different types of fitness levels. It has a beautiful Torc waterfall to admire and take photos, hilly trails along with the simple trails around and along the lake. There is a cafe/restaurant at the main entrance and another one just inside the park for some delicious hot/iced beverages and a quick bite. Also, a beautiful historic castle with admissions to explore it closer from the inside."
"Without a shadow of a doubt, I can honestly say that I experienced some of the most breathtaking views I’ve ever seen in the Killarney National Park. An absolute must see when visiting the area. Novice drivers might find the narrow roads unnerving, and certain areas can be packed with tourists, however other areas are well isolated and dead silent. We unfortunately didn’t see many animals. Visitors are very respectful as we barely saw any litter. I really want to return here soon!"
"What an astonishingly beautiful place. So unspoilt. Stunning views are best seen either on foot or by hiring one of the horse-drawn carriages. We took the carriage option and this afforded us the chance to stop and stare which was fantastic. I would highly recommend you take the time to visit the beautiful place"
