Q:
We would like to tour the park by jaunting horse carts. I think our kids will enjoy jaunting carts more. 1) Where to hire jaunting carts? What is their appx charges? Will they cover all the spots within the park? Will they wait at the places where we would like to pass some time or will they just ride through? 2) We would like to visit Ross castle, Torc waterfalls, Muckross house, Gap of Dunloe, some cottages, lakes(may be a short boat ride). Are all these possible to complete in one day or we should include 2days to complete this itinerary?

The jaunty carts and drivers are a cruel way to view the park. The way the drivers treat their horses is beyond disgusting. They push the horses to pull ignorant tourists for miles up …

The jaunty carts and drivers are a cruel way to view the park. The way the drivers treat their horses is beyond disgusting. They push the horses to pull ignorant tourists for miles up hills and mountains that are way beyond their capabilites. The horses are fit to drop. The drivers don't care if they kill their horses, they will just get another one. Drive yourself if you can't do the walking, don't give money to cruel men who exploit the horses and the tourists.

Sorry, not sure what you mean. We didn’t hire a guide. Just drove ourselves. Follow the signs and use your GPS, or a printed map. You can’t get lost. The road is a giant circle, just keep going in the one direction. I suggest drive anti clockwise, and leave early too avoid tourist coaches. It’s a very very narrrow road in some places with little room for passing oncoming traffic. Hold your breath... It’s truly beautiful tho.
