Stunning views - Incredible trek that gives the most scenic and beautiful views of Killarney- the lakes, highest points of Ireland, golf courses and open fields. Absolutely stunning! Ask for Sarah, a magnificent guide.

Therapy & View on a Saddle - Guide leaders were great and avid riders. When horses would go out of line they were quick to get them back in line with kind gentle commands. My horse was Martina and she was the BEST! Everyone was so accommodating from the time we arrived the girl riders were so sweet and smart! A definite tour/excursion to do while in Killarney! I would recommend tipping the riders and they were so appreciative and thankful!

The best! - Absolutely amazing experience! This was my husband's first horseback riding experience, and the staff were extremely helpful and informed. They made him feel so at ease, and we had so much fun! Very organized, and the horses are great for all experience levels.

Birthday Surprise - Booked the horse riding experience for my family as a surprise for my daughter’s 9th birthday. We were a few minutes late, battling construction road work, but the staff were very gracious and patient with us. My daughter was over joyed she was able to ride her own horse! The views were incredible and my horse, Dylan, was a giant gentleman. We will be back again.

Boring disapointing ride! red headed witch running the barn! - Not how I thought it would go. Very boring for an experienced rider. The guides were ok but spoke nothing of this amazing park and its animals. ALmost like they were afraid to say anything. Made sure I handed the tip directly to them. Felt that the wirchy red head running the stable might keep it. Something quite not right there/ I think the guides are exploited by management and bullied!!
