Sunset horseback riding
We’ve gone horseback riding before plenty of times but not like this. It was super freeing and incredible. The host was lighthearted and humorous. The horses were really nice and trained. The horses will take you on a nice trail, and if youre more comfortable on a horse, if you tell your horse to take off they will, which was the best part of the ride for me personally. But if you dont want to gallop, the horses will take you on a relaxing ride. The beach was beautiful and had some beach chairs available and it was super empty which was great! We even had a little white dog accompanying us while there! Amazing vibes!

Great CR horse riding experience
Manny was great to lead our family from the barn, down paths, to the beach and back again. It was great to learn about his story and things about Costa Rica while we rode horses that were very well behaved for our limited experienced riding family. We made our reservation late in the evening the day before the 700am time slot and he quickly responded with confirmation.
Had a great experience, despite it being way too hot, and would definitely recommend.

Magical experience
We had such an amazing experience! None of us have ridden a horse before, but all the horses seemed happy to have us. We walked down the beach at sunset and it was just magical. The guide was very friendly and clear with her instructions. She cared deeply for all the horses. She also took beautiful photos of us riding!

Kid-Friendly and fun for all ages.
Very fun experience. We purposely chose the 7am time. It was basically a private tour for us and our two kids. Both children (ages 7 and 10) enjoyed the ride. Horses were very well behaved and trained. Our guide was very kind and patient. He took videos and pictures of us during the ride and during our stop at the beach. The ride was very peaceful. Highly recommend!

nice half day activity with excellent zipline course.
It had been raining hard, and the rappelling through the waterfall was not safe, so they substituted the outbound portion of the horse ride with a tractor pulled giant wagon ride instead, which was fine. Very long zipline course- quite fun and scenic. Horses are good. The skies opened up as we returned on the horses after ziplining so we all got soggy. Lunch at the end was really good typical fare- choice of chicken or fish, with a yummy fruit punch.

Amazing experience with a company that loves its horses.
We met Gustavo and his associate on the beach and had an amazing ride on a completely secluded section of the western Costa Rican beach. We rode about 30 minutes out, accompanied by the guide, who then took pictures for us in the beautiful scenery. We then rode back in the opposite direction and wrapped up a lovely ride after about an hour. The meeting location was hard to find, but we were in contact with the guide via WhatsApp and they helped us find the right location. We have all ridden before, but only occasionally, and the hour long ride was more than enough for us and our inexperienced backsides. Overall, it was an amazing experience with fantastic photos.
