I loved working at Diamonds!! Loads of fun with the girls, lovely trekking horses and the cheeky ponies! I'll definitely go back to beautiful Connemara. We were very well cared for and felt part of this hard working family!

I worked as a trail guide here. It was a great experience and I enjoyed it very much. You get to ride on the beach every day! Everyone is very patient and they explain everything to you so there cannot be any confusion. And they're very nice people, ready to help you with whatever you need. Safety is a priority (yours as well as the tourists'), but the trekking ponies are all very nice and quiet. I even got to ride some of the connemaras a little bit. And the place is simply one of the most beautiful parts of Ireland.
