Fun experience

We had an amazing ATV tour with Carlos! He was friendly, professional, and made the entire experience a lot of fun. He kept everyone safe while still making sure we had an exciting adventure. Carlos knew the area well, shared interesting information along the way, and made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the tour. If you’re thinking about booking an ATV tour, I highly recommend asking for Carlos. He did a fantastic job and made this one of the highlights of our trip

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.

Relaxing and Fun

First time in a horse! This was so much fun and very relaxing! Our guide gave simple instructions and it was very straight forward. He speaks a little English but enough to have a great time. Make sure to wear long pants or sunscreen, the sun will burn your calf muscles!

Magical ride on the beach!

Horseback riding on the beach was magical. The horses were so well trained and easy to ride, taking direction easily. We were a group of four at all levels of experience. We saw howler monkeys, a sting ray in the water and several iguanas. Highly recommend and can’t way to come back!
