We really enjoyed the horses. The guides were nice, but portions of the trail were shared with vehicles and joggers, so it wasn’t quite as peaceful and serene as I had imagined.

Great way to see Killarney Park

The staff was helpful and very nice. The horse was gentle. ,2 hours was a bit long for me, but I am 71 years old. I had a hard time dismounting. There was not much information/ discourse about the park...when the young girl did talk, she was in front and my son and I could not hear her. Overall, the ride was nice and it was a great way to see alot of this beautiful park.

Horseback ride in ireland

Horses are very settled and easy to handle. Because most of the horses on our ride were white and we rode through mud and water they appeared to be not groomed well. This is NOT the case as they ride the same route more than once daily and their legs understandably are muddy. Our guides were AWSOME and helped with anything and everything. Cudos to them! Well worth the price of admission!

Amazing Experience

This was such an amazing experience. Definitely arrive early to get set up with boots, helmet, and get matched with a horse. Set up takes a little while. The views were spectacular and the park is so beautiful. I would definitely recommend this to others and do it again myself.

It was absolutely beautiful! The park is stunning and we saw plenty of deer. The views from the top hill down to the lake is worth the whole ride honestly! Cookie was a lovely horse, the guides were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and THANKFULLY we were split into smaller groups and I was with people who could mostly ride. There was one other experienced rider in the group so we were able to do some lovely trot sets in spots! Not just your average ‘nose to tail’ ride which I was supremely grateful for. Not sure if the inexperienced group did trot sets so I’m not sure if it’s standard but it was definitely a welcome relief for an experienced rider!
