Gabriela_M, Jun 2026

Amazing experience. I was...

Amazing experience. I was a little scared at first but it turned out to be very fun and exciting. The horses are well trained and kind of like already know what to do themselves and the route. Our tour guide was very experienced and kind. Would recommend doing this is staying in Jaco! Literally like 3 minutes away and only takes 2 hours, you’re given a 10min break by the beach to take pictures and rest. WEAR SUNSCREEN!!

Phenomenal experience (from start to finish!)

Gerardo, our tour guide, was friendly, knowledgeable, candid, and more than capable of helping my family savor the experience of riding horses on the beach. The horses were tame, charming; and so well behaved! This was a dream for my 9 year old that this company finally helped make a reality. I am appreciative and deeply indebted!

Absolutely one of the...

Absolutely one of the best parts of our trip! The horses were safe and well trained. Our guide let us go as fast or as slow as we wanted. My daughter even got to gallop and ride in the ocean! The water was unbelievably blue and the whole ride was picturesque. Such an amazing experience!

Sunset & Horses

Carlos_P, May 2026

The best of the best!

The horses are incredible and to be able to ride them on the beach during a sunset was truly an amazing experience. Diego is the man! He guided us through and treated us to good conversation and ice cold refreshment at the beach bar and we got served while on horse back. So cool. The horses are super healthy and well cared for and well trained. Diego also really knows how to get those perfect photos and videos. This experience is a must for anyone who wants to feel the beauty and joy that life has to offer here in Costa Rica.

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.

Marlene was our tour guide and she was GREAT!!!! She was very knowledgeable, informative, conversational and patient. Her tours are private with just your group and you will not feel rushed. She took lots of pictures and when asked she took us to a souvenir shop and to a grocery store. If you are having a hard time deciding which tour company to use CHOOSE THIS ONE because you will not be disappointed!!!

Arenal Canopy and Horseback Riding Adventure

6 Star Experience

This was an amazing experience! I would give six stars if I could. The pickup from our hotel was dead simple and the driver was perfectly on time. Our two tour guides (Charlie and Dillon) were the nicest people. In fact, everyone involved was extremely friendly. The horse riding tour itself was breath taking. The horses were easy to ride, though each has their own personality, so getting to know your horse was important. Some parts of the trail required the horses to be nimble and slow and other parts allowed them to run. It was both uphill and downhill on rock trails and grass. The Zipline part was phenomenal! Oh my gosh the views!!! I have a fear of heights but had no issues doing this course. There's something about flying through trees securely in a harness that eliminated all fears. It was odd. I was nervous but after the first one had zero reservations. Charlie went above and beyond. One of our party members dropped their phone on the trail at some point. They didn't know they did until the end. Charlie went back out and found it rather quickly saving the day. The only thing to note is tips can only be made in cash. At least at the time of writing this. This was an A++++ experience all around. I'd highly recommend it.
