The young ladies working with the horses and working with us as riders were so patient and knowledgeable, along with the riding stable being organized, and the horses well kept.
Faith was an amazing tour guide and a very proficient horse rider. She also gave us a wonderful dinner recommendation for Killarney. She made sure we felt very comfortable on our horses and also took photos of us to remember our ride! Could not recommend more. FAITH STANS. Brona and Honor are wonderful horses and we loved Pascal.
Myself and my sister went on a 1 hour guided horseback ride with no horse riding experience. Staff were excellent, answered any questions you had before and during the ride, paired you to a horse appropriate with your riding level, and were willing to take pictures of you during the ride (the pictures turned out great). The horses were also very well behaved and well trained - shout out Ray and Martina! Views were stunning and great experience but still very glad we went with the 1 hour option because we were still quite sore afterwards.
Very friendly staff, well cared for horses. Nice relaxing ride through some beautiful country fields with great views. Staff were engaging and made the experience enjoyable.
Highly recommend, the tour guides were awesome and the views of the national park were beautiful on horseback!
Fantastic! 2 of our group of 4 had never ridden. The people running the stables were awesome, they made sure everyone was comfortable and on the appropriate horses. The horses were fantastic as well. Very experienced and the views of kilarney national park are fantastic. HIGHLY recommend!!
Good guides, calm horses. Nice views.
An incredible way to see Ireland and Killarney National Park. Our guides, Marie, Lilly, and others were so kind and knowledgeable!
Horses and trainers were great. Horses were very calm and went very slow.
So much fun! All our guides were friendly and knowledgeable, about both the park itself and the horses we were riding. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Killarney.
Friendly staff and horses for all skill levels. Lovely ride and stunning scenery. Easy to find, and they have a car park on site.
This was a wonderful experience for my family! A beautiful setting and really fun activity, and I can’t say enough good things about our guides. They went the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable and happy on our horses.
Had a lovely day out on the one hour trek, regret not doing the 3 hour. Gorgeous location with beautiful kind horses.
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.
beautiful views, very friendly staff, and such a fun way to spend an hour in the national park!
Great ride. Beautiful scenery and the team were excellent. Highly recommend this while you are in Killarney even if you are not an experienced rider.
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!
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.
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!!
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.
This was an awesome experience. The views were incredible and the staff and horses were amazing. This is a must do activity.
staff and horses were great! as were the views...stunning. Glad I chose it as one of my things to do during my stay. Lots of deer on ride too!
Horsebackriding in the Killarney National Park, our guides, horses and scenery were all excellent!!!
A lovely experience. Pia was a friendly and kind guide. Highly recommended. It was a highlight of my solo journey for sure!
Wonderful, scenic trek. Very beginner friendly if you have little experience with horses. I rode on Diamond and she was sweet and sassy. The guides were extremely friendly and made the trek fun!
Horseback riding through Killarney National Park was an unforgettable experience. The scenery—mountains, lakes, and forests—was absolutely breathtaking, and the guides made everything easy and enjoyable. We even came across a group of lounging Red Deer! A perfect way to take in Ireland’s natural beauty. Highly recommended!
The Killarney National Park Horseback riding staff were very friendly and helpful. They provide helmets and boots for the ride. Careful consideration is given for the best horse for your horseback riding experience level. Our horses were well trained and comfortable for our morning, one hour ride through the breathtaking Killarney National Park. We rode past herds of deer which were quite unfazed by us. We mostly walked the horses but had a few opportunities to trot. We loved this activity and highly recommend it!
We did the hour ride. Guides were phenomenal as well as the horses. Beautiful scenery, saw lots of deer. We will be back for one of the overnight rides!
Get comfortable and watch that sunset definitely not to be missed . Pinky the dog is one special lady
The scenery was beautiful and we were able to see deer and wildlife up close. It was wonderful and the guides were very knowledgeable.
Our family had a lovely time horseback riding! We even had a few times where we galloped! The scenery was spectacular and our guides could not hve been nicer!
Wonderful, well kept horses; Outstanding Guides; Beautiful scenery. No need to look anywhere else for a memorable ride.
I had a fantastic outdoor ride with friendly guidance. I even got the chance to gallop for a bit, even though it was a walking group. The scenery is incredibly beautiful; we even came across a herd of deer. It was a truly wonderful experience.
Beautiful trail ride through National Park with lots of deer. Horses were well behaved. We even got to trot twice! Don’t miss this activity when in Killarney.
Advise people to book directly through the owner,The fees that were added were robbery.When I arrived at the stable the fee for riding was 70.00$ I was charged 110 per person.I could understand a transaction fee this was robbery
The views were amazing and the guides were so knowledgeable and kind. Best horseback riding experience ! A must go as they are in operation all year
Guise are front back and sides to help and for safety. Only wished they talked a bit less so that we could enjoy park and herd of deer we passed.
Great time horse back riding and the scenery in the park is awesome with the deer grazing. We had just the 2 of us with 2 guides so was great
Great experience! Friendly, helpful guides, beautiful scenery, and good horses. Would definitely recommend and do again.
Our family enjoyed our ride very much. The staff, horses, and scenery were all wonderful! We would recommend!
We loved our experience horseback riding! We arrived ~ 30 minutes early and sat in the stables enjoying the peace and quiet. We got checked in quickly and without hassle and the guides got some information from us and then selected horses for us. The guided tour was wonderful with several guides checking on our group along the way to make sure everyone was doing well. This ride may be frustrating for avid riders - many of the horses are all whoa and it's a job to make them keep up. For novice riders, it was great. Even our advanced riders enjoyed it despite the lagging horses due to the beautiful area we rode through including a herd of deer! Can't recommend this enough.
We had a wonderful time. The girls were engaging and made sure that everyone was safe and had a good time. I would recommend this to everyone, such a pretty area.
My favorite experience in Ireland! Gorgeous scenery, friendly guides, and beautiful horces. We were beginners and had no trouble with the ride. Must do!
Wonderful! Wish we had longer but the horses and staff we great. Seeing just a bit of the national forest was nice. They red tail deer we cool.
Matched us well with some wonderful horses! I went with my partner and we ended up being the only people in our tour group. The route was beautiful and our guide was very informational! Perfect way to get a glimpse of the national park!
The riding school was professional and also made you feel very welcome, the horses are well looked after and behave amazing. By far one of the best things you can ever do.
Excellent experience with skillful, instructive ride leaders. Gorgeous views and lovingly maintained and sweet horses.
The girls at the stable were friendly and helpful and found the perfect horses for us. The view were absolutely spectacular and it seemed as if we were riding in a watercolor painting. They took pictures for us, made sure we were comfortable and provided an experience of a life time! So easy to get to from the Great Southern, easy parking too. Walking distance if we knew where we were going. Recommend this experience to anyone that loves the outdoors and riding horseback.
It was gorgeous! We loved Killarney National Park. Part walking and part riding in a horse drawn jaunty. Beautiful and so much fun!
