Beautiful views near the... - Beautiful views near the cliffs, awesome horses, fun guide. Accommodated a total beginner but also let my daughter canter in the mountains. Totally different feel than the big tour buses.

Absolute Must Do! 100% Recommend. - Peter and his son JR were the best hosts to us. We got a taxi to the riding center and we got to meet the horses and his dog Bitsy! Our ride was made premium with the appearance of the sun, but it would have been a stellar experience if it was pouring rain. The views were incredible and the length of time was just about 2 hours. We were able to trot here and there, and I had such a great experience with our horses Jasper and Guinness. I could not recommend this experience more. 100% coming back on our next trip!

Fun in Lisdoonvarna !! - We had a great time on the tour. The owner and his assistants were great. I would recommend a little experience with riding on the 2 hour tour but the owner and guides will be with you the entire time ensuring you have a great experience.

Awesome way to experience Ireland - Peter was wonderful and much fun along with his staff. He fit us to horses which matched our level of riding and everyone was able to enjoy a great scenic trot and canter through the amazing lands and views Ireland has. There was a group of 10 made up of my family and several other couples plus a young girl in lead and Peter watchful and guiding with great stories, information, and direction from the center. The two-hour ride was just right for us. We were ready for that gallop and jump! ;)

Don’t pass it up! - Amazing!!! If you love to ride, do not leave the area without going on this. Lots of experience and encouragement from staff. Those who didn’t want to canter didn’t have to. But for those who did…… exhilarating!!!! The views were incredible towards Connemara and Galway Bay.
