Ride Overview

The Ring of Kerry tour gives you the amazing opportunity to gallop through the sea spray on Rossbeigh Beach for long open stretches at a time. It’s as thrilling as anything we’ve ever done on a ride and leaves you grinning from ear to ear and a bit breathless at the same time. The area of Killarney and the Ring of Kerry, is one of the most scenic parts of Ireland as folks love to explore the peninsula of Inveragh framed by the McGillicuddy Reeks.

The views of slate roofed villages which give way to coastal paths leading to the Atlantic never seem to grow old as riders and their athletic Irish Draft and Gypsy Vanners wind their way through the area. The week of riding is fun filled with long trots and canters and some of the most bucolic scenery in Ireland.
