About this activity

Explore Killarney National Park on horseback through the scenic Knockreer Estate with views of Lough Lein and mountain vistas. This guided 2-hour ride immerses you in Ireland's only UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, showcasing pristine landscapes and diverse wildlife across rolling terrain suitable for all riding abilities.

Follow the riding trail into the Knockreer Estate north of Lough Lein, taking in the essence of Killarney National Park. 

The stables are open all year from 9am daily, offering hacking, trekking and trail riding into the Killarney National Park for one, two and three hours.  

The park was designated a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1981, and forms part of a Special Area of Conservation. Your trail will take you past Lough Lein, the largest of the three lakes in Killarney and across areas of stunning natural beauty. Expect amazing views of soaring mountains, and rolling hills with the
unique ecosystem including numerous species of fauna and flora. All groups are guided, and all levels of experience catered for. 

For clients who come un-equipped, we can provide riding hats and boots.
