About this experience

Horseback Riding in Inishbofin Village is a guided trail ride on the island of Inishbofin, County Galway. Riders follow coastal paths and bogland tracks with views of the Atlantic and the island's beaches. The activity operates from the village centre and suits both beginners and experienced riders.

What to expect

  • Rides last 1 to 2 hours, led by a local guide on a route that includes the island's western cliffs and the sandy stretch at West Beach.
  • Tack and helmets are provided; riders should wear long trousers and closed-toe shoes.
  • The pace is adjusted to the group's ability, with walking for novices and trotting or cantering for confident riders on open ground.
  • The route passes the ruins of St. Colman's Monastery and the old pier, with frequent stops for photographs of the harbour and offshore islets.
  • Suitable for adults and children aged 8 and over, with a maximum weight limit of 95 kg per horse.
  • Bookings are taken at the stable yard in the village, and rides depart daily from April to October, weather permitting.
