What are people saying about Sámara

Travis_M, Jul 2026

Everything I hope for in horseback experience

We are beyond happy we picked this experience with Horse’s Paradise. Brian, our guide, was wonderful and very accommodating to our minimal understanding of Spanish. He shared not only his knowledge of the area, the plants, the animals, but also his deep love, respect, and compassion for the horses he cares for. Brian brought us up and down the beach, then into the jungle where we went up the mountain to a beautiful overlook. His attention to detail (dogs, children, beach goers, rocks, trees, vines, etc) made this a very safe and comfortable ride, even with limited experience with horses in this way. Along the way back, we trekked on very narrow trails around the vines, roots, insects, and mud. Sights you’d never be able to see any other way. This experience allowed us to truly understand a horse’s ability and how important it is to have confidence when you’re atop a four foot tall, four footed being. The horses are well cared for, skillfully worked, and as free as possible at this Costa Rican ranch. Bonus! Brian recommended a spot for us to watch the sunset, as the horseback ride ended right before the sun went down. It was an amazing viewpoint of both Samara and Carrillo Beaches. A magical place and time — we could’ve spent hours admiring the view!

Dolphin Watching with Costa Rican Companies

Vincent_G, Mar 2026

Highly recommend! I got very lucky and saw whales, dolphins, and turtles

I loved this experience! I got very lucky and got to see humpback whales, spinner dolphins, and an olive ridley sea turtle! Apparently you have to go 20ish miles out to see the dolphins but we saw them about 10 miles out so like I said, I got extremely lucky. The tour guide was very friendly and offered us fresh fruit and also gave time for us to swim which was great. It doesnt seem that they do snorkeling very often based on the clarity of the water but they still made time for us to swim. They have a slide attached to the boat which is very fun. I thought this was an awesome experience for a great price so I highly recommend!

Jungle and Beach Horseback Riding Tour - 2H 1/2

Natalie_W, Mar 2026

An incredible family memory was made!

What an incredible experience. Our guide was fantastic and really catered to the varying comfort levels in our group. He had my 8 year old - who had never really ridden a horse solo before - doing a light gallop down the beach at sunset. She could not stop laughing. He was also so kind with supporting other members of our group who simply wanted to walk and take it slow. This excursion really is for everyone. The horses are absolutely beautiful and so gentle. This was a remarkably special memory for our family.

Safari & Buenavista Beach Horse Riding Tour

Kristie_T, Jan 2026

A great way to see the beauty around Samara

Amazing amazing amazing. The scenery was beautiful and the diversity of riding through the forest, through the river, along the dirt roads and on the beach was great. The saddle was a bit hard but the horses are very sound, allowing us to take in the views and enjoy the ride. Our guide was very informative and took us along at an ideal pace for our group. It was a really good 3 hour activity that suited our novice riders.

We had a great time! The...

We had a great time! The tour was well organized, safety was emphasized, the boat was super clean, and our guides got us up close to lots of dolphins. The snorkeling part was a lot of fun, too, with delicious watermelon and pineapple at the end. It was a perfect half day activity.

Casey_H, Dec 2025

We had a fantastic time...

We had a fantastic time with our instructor, Jafet. He was very personable and a great teacher, showing us exactly what to do and offering suggestions/adjustments that were very helpful. I had zero surf experience and am generally not very athletic, but even I was able to catch some waves successfully. Communicating with Sofie to coordinate our surf time and confirming the meeting location was very easy through WhatsApp. All around a great experience, we highly recommend it!

Ocean Kayak & Snorkeling to Chora Island

Elsa_O, Dec 2025

Great little reef experience

Local tour for Samara guests. Tour leaves right out of Samara beach. Brendan, our tour guide, led us to “the hole” which is the small reef out from Samara beach. They gave us a tandem kayak with all the equipment. Then he took us to the Island where he gave us some fresh pineapple and drinks. Enjoyable experience.

Turtle Tour Near Samara Beach

Holly_B, Nov 2025

Amazing experience

The turtle tour was so amazing, we saw so many baby turtles and even got to see a turtle laying eggs. Would absolutely recommend to anyone traveling to Costa Rica! (Small caveat- the road to get there is very bumpy so if you get car sick maybe not the best option for you, someone on the tour with us did get ill)
