Kingdom of Kerry with Private Transportation
View the outstanding natural beauty of the Lakes of Killarney and visit a traditional house and gardens at Muckross House. Fall in love with county Kerry, all with your own private driver and vehicle.
Upon disembarking from the ship, you'll journey with your private chauffeur driver to Killarney in County Kerry, where a visit to Muckross House and Gardens awaits you. Muckross House, a 19th-century manor, encapsulates two primary themes: the natural environment of the National Park and the rich folklore of County Kerry during the 19th and 20th centuries. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the Kerry Mountains, Muckross House enjoys a stunning location on Muckross Lake, the second largest among Killarney's trio of lakes, offering captivating views. The gardens, though modest in size, are celebrated for their impressive assortment of rhododendrons and azaleas, expansive water features, and a remarkable rock garden crafted from natural limestone. Following your visit to Muckross House, your next destination will be Killarney town, where you'll have the opportunity to enjoy some leisure time. Next, take in the breathtaking sights of the Lakes of Killarney and the distant mountains before embarking on a scenic journey back to the ship, winding through the picturesque country roads of County Kerry and County Cork. Please Note: The tour of the Muckross House is provided by Muckross staff. Private guides are not permitted in the estate.
