I did two , two hour long treks with Peter on Banjo . This is a beautiful way to see secluded areas of the Burren and the Clare coastline that would usually only be known to locals. Peter expertly guided us through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the country . I found it to be a real escape... More

Our family of four are not experienced horse riders, but Peter took great care of us by finding the most gentle, and well-mannered horses. Our decision to go horseback riding in Ireland was a last minute thing, and Peter and staff fit us into the morning schedule quickly. Our ride through the countryside was beautiful and worth the money spent... More

As lifelong horseback riders, my friend and I were looking for a great ride on our trip to Ireland. We were not disapointed at Mountain View!! Peter was amazing and paired us up with perfect mounts, Shay and Airge. Our first ride was a lovely 2 hour trip through the hills of Lisdoonvarna with views of the water and the... More

Wonderful experience!!!! I picked Mountainview for our horseback riding outing while visiting Ireland based on the reviews on TripAdvisor and was not disappointed. Peter and his staff were super friendly and accommodating. And the horses were great too! Beautiful, well mannered animals suited to various levels of riders. Stephanie guided our 2-hour trek and was so friendly, knowledgeable and fun.... More

Every holiday I go horse riding with Mountain View. This place is the best of all. You feel so welcome from the beginning and there is always the right horse for you waiting. This time Ann and I enjoyed it very much. Keep going Peter!

A group of 4 of us arrived with no prior booking on a Saturday and even though all the horses were out Peter made sure we were able to get out for the 1 hour trek we had hoped for, advised on a good place to eat (McGanns just outside Doolin) and led the trek himself. Constant entertainment and stories... More

I recently went on the 1 hour walk with a Connemara horse named Airge. Peter was a great guide and the walk was peaceful and relaxing. I loved my horse, Airge, who is the gentlest guy ever! A must-do in Doolin. Next time, I'm going to take a 2-3 hour tour...

My 11 yo daughter and I enjoyed a 2 hour ride with the friendly and well informed Bec. I was so enthused after the ride that I have now taken up horse riding again back in Australia after 30 years. Such a wonderful way to see beautiful County Clare!
