Discover Ireland's true colors at Killarney National Park, prized by nature lovers for its lakes, mountain peaks, and oak and yew woodlands. This national park, the first established in Ireland, shelters the country's only native herd of red deer. Protected as a biosphere reserve of international importance, the park encompasses over 10,000 hectares (25,000 acres) with vast sections available for hiking, cycling, boating, and fishing. The park also contains one of the country's foremost stately homes and gardens, noted for its collection of original furnishings and fully restored Victorian glasshouses. Ask your guide to take you on a horse-drawn ride through the park, or take a boat trip on the three interconnected lakes. Arrange to visit Killarney National Park and other attractions in Killarney using our Killarney trip planner.

  Great place, we came unprepared and didn't know there was so much to see. Will definitely go back very soon and take 2 days to look around, maybe rent a bike.

  All I can say is Wow. Fabulous. Beautiful. So much to see. Camera place for sure. Jaunting cars for hire cycling hires. Or just lovely place to go for an evening walk. Killarney is such a beautiful town. Something there for everyone of all ages! I highly recommend hiring a Bike you see a lot more of National park cycling at your own speed and pace. Plenty to see. For all family even the dog can have a go but Must keep on lead!! Great family day out. See now why the call Kerry God's country amazing views friendly people everywhere. If only time stood still maybe it does here in Killarney.
