Arthur_A, Aug 2026

Amazing Family Excursión

This was hands down the BEST excursion we have ever been on. The 5 activities in 1 - Full day was sooooo worth it. Started the day with a tractor ride to the waterfall rappel - 10/10! Then we zip lined through their sprawling farm where each one was better and more thrilling than the last. After that we had the most delicious homemade lunch. After a quick break was the ATV rides through the trails for an hour and then we went back, and got on horseback to so another 1hr trail ride. We got pictures videos and the learned some really cool facts about the animals, vegetation and farm life! We will be back to do this again and hopefully the new amenities (pool and glamping cabins) are available for us once completed! Jesus, Luis, & Ricardo were amazing guides. Tips: Bring small bags to carry items (waterproof is best) Wear clothes to get wet and comfortable closed tied shoes/watershoes Suncreen/bug spray a must! Know some common Spanish sayings to assist but the guides spoke English as well.

5 stars all the way

10/10 hands down one of the best experiences we had in Costa Rica! Eliud was the perfect tour guide. He made sure my sisters and I felt comfortable from the very beginning, and he guided us every step of the way. The horses were well-trained, gentle, and amazing to ride. The entire tour was beautiful, fun, and something we’ll never forget. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica. Thank you, Eliud, for making it such a memorable experience!

Great ride and beautiful nature

I went to the later ride and was not sure what to expect because I’ve been on many trail rides with mixed experiences. Horses were trained and well taken care of, owner was very friendly and knowledgeable. Ride was peaceful with beautiful nature and animals. Much recommended!

My daughter (10) and I...

My daughter (10) and I are fairly experienced riders. Riding along the beach and seeing some of the jungle was beautiful! We don’t get to canter, or trot really, on rides in the US, so the canter on the beach was as amazing as they make it look in the movies. We really enjoyed the ride and views—caught a glimpse of some monkeys and a deer along the route as well.

Everything about this...

Everything about this experience was amazing! Definitely book if you're looking for a taste of everything and don't have much time. I can't say enough about how wonderful Marlena is. She's very knowledgeable, kind, patient, and made the experience for me and my girlfriend something we will never forget. We ended up leaving an expensive bag of makeup & a polaroid camera behind and she made the effort to make sure we got the items back before we headed back home. Book with Marlena!

100% Recommend

Amazing tour with Jordan! My partner and I are both experienced riders and had the guide to ourselves! Jordan took us along the beach, in the back forest/mountain and took lots of pictures/videos for us. Horses are very well trained and very responsive. Great tour would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to see Tamarindo in a different way.

Sun, Sea, and Super Service!

There are plenty of cruise options in the Manuel Antonio area, but this crew stood out for wanting to provide an interesting, fun and engaging experience for their guests. The collection from our hotel was easy and the process of check in and boarding was easy and friendly. Once on board we we're served drinks throughout by the lovely crew. Kevin and Minor were excellent and genuinely proud of their culture and work. We saw dolphins, and enjoyed the option to snorkel and swim in the Pacific. The food served was delicious, fresh fish and the chef's own homemade hot sauce was a nice touch. We watched sunset from the boat which was perfect. If we ever came back, this would be one of the first tour's we would book. Thank you!

Happy sleepy horses

We had such a great experience. My daughter has never ridden a horse and was very nervous. But upon meeting her sleepy horse she relaxed a little. The guide was very patient with her and led her horse the whole way. He taught about some trees and plants along the way and took pictures down at the beach for us. He even pointed out the spot the crocodile likes to hang out. I was very happy with the experience and highly recommend checking them out.

Awesome time!

This horseback riding experience was awesome. It takes place at Brasilito beach. Our guide was Lester, he was very helpful and super nice. He helped us get on our horses, gave us some rules and tips, and then took us along the trail which is through a few beaches. The horses were great, we got some photo opportunities, and had a wonderful time. We would definitely recommend this experience.
