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.

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!
Great horseback riding experience!

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!
Giddy-up!
