Tour Services


As part of its ethos of education for all, Killarney National Park Education Centre provides a wide range of interpretation services for tour groups of all kinds, including:


Guided Walks

One of our staff will accompany your group on a walk through the National Park and will discuss the wildlife and ecology of the area and the implications for the successful management of the National Park. Walks of all lengths and for all fitness levels are available and can be combined with a boat tour if desired. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.


Slide Shows

A lecture and slide show can be arranged in your hotel or B&B; for your group. This will highlight some of the common and not so common species and habitats to be found in Killarney National Park, and illustrate some of the superb scenery for which Killarney is justifiably famous. The slide show is intended to be very relaxed and will often become a highly informal question and answer session!


Ecology Orienteering

For teenage groups our 'ecology orienteering' activity has consistently proved to be a popular option. It takes the form of a scavenger hunt during which time the participants (working in pairs) will accumulate points and the highest scoring pair will win a T-Shirt each. At the end of the session the importance of conservation and the role that National Parks play is discussed with the group.
