How to choose

Ticket questions

Are jaunting cars included in tour prices?

No. Most combo tours require you to pay the jarvey (driver) in cash on the day. A shared carriage costs €35 per person. A private carriage costs €140.

Do I need to book boat tours in advance?

Yes. Boats from Lord Brandon's Cottage to Ross Castle have limited capacity. Booking a combo tour guarantees your seat on the water.

Can I just walk instead of taking a horse carriage?

Yes. Access to the public road is free. You can walk the 11 kilometres (7 miles) instead of hiring a carriage. Just ensure you reach the boat on time.
