Really good experience. Ray is a character and Aimee (I hope I spelled that right) was a great guide and so calm. We were very impressed with the setup as well as the trail. Trekking through the lake was a highlight and we will definitely come back again.

      We are still talking about this incredible trek through the countryside—from two months ago! It was absolutely the highlight of our one-week trip to Ireland! It was the first time our teenage boys went horse-back riding, and that wasn’t a problem at all. They LOVED it. There’s no better way to experience the beauty of Ireland. Ray and Lisa were fun, knowledgeable, and patient hosts. We enjoyed every aspect of this little adventure and highly recommend adding this to your next Ireland visit. What an experience!!!

      Great people, fun ride.

      Very fun experience. Lisa and Ray are fantastic hosts and the ride was fun. We rode some trails down to a pretty lake and circled back a different way.

      Despite the rain, it was so peaceful and picturesque. Great either solo or with friends. Would do it again!

      Lovely trek through a beautiful area. Ray who brought us out was great! Special mention to Apple the horse who was very patient!

      Highly recommend! FANTASTIC Experience!

      Mckynlea_L, Nov 2025
      Absolutely amazing! Wish I could give more than 5 stars! Everyone was very friendly, especially our guide! He was kind and helpful and very informative. He even went as far as making sure we made it to our bus to head home and went above and beyond. We went as a group of three girls and loved it. We would definitely do it again and hope we can return sometime! Just FANTASTIC! I would highly recommend booking with this experience! Words honestly can’t even begin to express how much we enjoyed it and would recommend it

      Highly recommend!

      Windy, Rainy Fun!

      The horses were very cooperative, even in the rain and wind! We had Jack as our guide who was friendly and provided good advice for a safe ride.

      Lovely day activity

      Ray_M, Aug 2025
      Easy to find and great service from the staff. I'm a beginner and they made sure I was comfortable before we set off.

      Hollywood horse and pony trekking

      Siskia_R, Aug 2025
      We did have a great ride through a most beautiful area :-) it was an amazing experience for all of us! Ray called us on the phone the evening before our tour to match the horses with our riding abilities and did a perfect job! A big thank you to Ray, Lisa, Nicole and Jack for making it a perfect day for all of us and taking care of everyone and everything! And another big thank you to our four-legged companions for carrying us through the countryside so patiently ;-) All horses were relaxed and very well cared for, also the whole facility was very well kept. So we highly recommend the Hollywood horse and pony trekking - experience!

      Great family experience

      Hannah_F, Aug 2025
      It was our first time as a family to go horseriding and we all loved it. It's amazing how you can feel riding a horse. Ray the trek leader was funny and entertained us but also put our nerves at ease.

      American rider came to Ireland to ride

      Corbin_B, Jul 2025
      Super fun experience. The views and trails were so nice and felt like real Ireland. If you know how to ride, we got to do a good amount of cantering too. Real great rides, views, and people running it all. Would definitely do it again and recommend it to everyone. Great people out there too, as I even got a ride to a bus stop after, and saved me a lot on a second taxi.

      Wow! Just do it!

      Ralena_K, May 2025
      It was a wonderful, beautiful, and fun experience. I would recommend this to anyone who can do it. We all had ridden horses in our childhood, and we didn't have any issues.

      Must do!

      Audree_Y, Jan 2025
      The ride was amazing, but the folks at the stables and giving us the tour really made the trip. Thanks for being so lovely!

      Relaxing, fun, memorable

      Emily_B, Nov 2024
      Absolutely loved our time. Gorgeous scenery and lovely guides. They were excellent at teaching the beginner rider in our group the ropes and made it fun and easy for all! Could not recommend more. Had the best time, thank you so much!

      A Wonderful Morning Trek

      Deeanna_B, Oct 2024
      We had a lovely ride with careful guides and safe horses. The scenery was beautiful. We walked in the lake, cantered and enjoyed a lovely morning trek. I highly recommend this excursion. It would be enjoyed by all.

      Best holiday riding experience so far

      Samantha_H, Sep 2024
      We had the best morning. Lovely, calm ponies. Ray was such a lovely guide, and as we were experienced riders, were able to go off for a canter/explore away from the group. Highly recommend, stunning scenery and they are able to canter for all all levels within the same group 🙂

      Must do

      stacey_w, Sep 2024
      This was the first of many tours/activities we did while in Ireland for the first time. It was a great start to a fantastic vacation. Loved this experience. Ray was great, the horses were great, the scenery was amazing. Ray recommended a side trip to Glendalough Abbey- it was fantastic too. Thank you Ray!!

      Fantastic experience

      Jake_H, Jul 2024
      Ray was a great tour guide very instructional for 1st time horse riders and made great conversation. A lot of fun and very nice time.

      Amazing time and beautiful ride.

      Alexander_C, Jun 2024
      It was a wonderful experience. The tour guides exposing us to the Irish countryside on horseback and we even got to ride close to or ride some in the lake on the property. The horses were nicely behaved and took care of us as well.

      Rodrigo_R, Nov 2023
      Our hourseback riding with Ray was very good, he is very friendly and patient, the place is very beautiful and it was an amazing morning.

      Best ride ever

      Matthew_S, Mar 2020
      Had an excellent time! The trainers and tour guide were first rate! I cannot wait to come back to Ireland and ride again with Hollywood Horse trekking.

      GREAT Day in Wicklow!!!

      danielg45882019, Nov 2019
      We had a GREAT day horse trekking in the Wicklow mountains. The weather was beautiful, the guides were extremely friendly and the views were AMAZING. I have only been on a horse a couple of times and that was about 15 years ago. The horses were calm and sweet and made the ride very easy and relaxing. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.

      大自然の中で素敵な体験

      Hirotaka_T, Jun 2024
      ウィックロー山脈の大自然の中で乗馬することができて最高の体験でした。 乗馬経験はほぼなかったのですが、ガイドのレイが事前にレクチャーしてくれるので心配はありません。 馬はとても賢く時々立ち止まって草を食べたりもしていましたがそれも含めてとても可愛かったです。 またぜひ家族を連れて参加したいとおもっています。
