Fantastic way to see Killarney National Park. My horse, Cracker, was lovely. This was my second time ever on a horse and I felt quite comfortable. The guides were friendly and on top of it.

These two horse guides who are leading us, had exceptional training, and how to make sure the saddle was secure. They insured that the stirrups fit each person and then went back and made sure that the girth was strapped appropriately. All going on the tour, to the girls told us historical events and explain the area we were walking through. Boots and helmets were also provided. Would highly recommend this tour. The horses were also very well mannered.

We had a beautiful day of horseback riding through the Killarney national park. Our guide brought us along several picturesque paths showcasing the natural beauty of the area. There were red deer, sika deer, and cows in the fields. We could see the lake in the distance but we did not go down near it. We enjoyed trotting along forested paths and chatting with our guide. I was looking forward to hearing more general information about the area, but we ended up just silently enjoying the scenery for large portions of time which was also lovely. Very much enjoyed the experience.
