We took the three hour ride and it had spectacular views and plenty of time in the park. My wife who had not great experiences on horses before had a great time. Horses were excellent. The team at Killarney Stables were so nice and very engaging. Annie was our lead and she was excellent fully engaged and fun to hang out with for the ride.

Best experience in Ireland

10000/10 recommend if you are in Killarney and are a horse lover. I saw ages and skill sets of all levels, and the guides were fantastic. I was able to book a longer more advanced ride and Emma was amazing when I asked if we could move up a bit more. Loved literally every minute of my ride. When I come back I’ll be riding again.

Absolute Fun!!

Awesome experience. The views were amazing, the horses were great, and the guides were awesome as well!

Lovely way to start your day!

Our guides were three lovely young girls! Very knowledgeable and so thoughtful in their help. It is a beautiful experience and one that will always be a fond memory. I suggest an early morning ride to enjoy the park as it awakens.

Brilliant ride

Nadine_G, Sep 2021

Clean and beautiful stable, great team, perfect horses. Felt very save, was a great and lovely experience. Would book again. 3h might be a bit long, 2h or 1h also available.

Good/Bad

Loretta_J, Jul 2021

I loved the park and riding through it on horse back was awesome. But when you pay for 3 hours and you get 2 that's not right. I didn't realize the time till I got back to my hotel. Still waiting to see if I will be refunded.
