Event Transport at Wander Wild Festival

At Wander Wild Festival, we encourage sustainable ways to explore Killarney and enjoy the festival and outdoors. To minimise our environmental impact, we’re providing options for you to get around to selected events around and outside town, limiting the need for individual car trips.  These options are outlined below.

 

Festival Transport (Selected Remote Events)

For a limited number of events distant from Killarney town (including Carrauntoohil, Rock Climbing and some other events), festival transport is available at a return cost of €15 per person plus booking fee, available as a separate bookable event via our Weekend Schedule or the following booking link: Wander Wild Festival Transport.  Transport may be bus, minivan or taxi depending on the number of people booked.

Departure times are scheduled well in advance of your event’s start time. Your transport ticket must be pre-booked when booking an event online. Please check your event details and take note of the transport departure times below.
