Interesting and comfortable ride with lots of information about what’s happening in the area. Even a sloth spotted.
Very nice expat is the chief cowboy. He’s been in Jaco for 20 years. He is very patient and kind and can tell you much about the route you follow. He is great with riding instructions. The horses. are very rideable and lovely. They seem very well cared for.

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!

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!

Best horseback riding experiece
This was the best horseback riding experience we have ever had! Our tour started at 4pm and it was nice to have just my wife and I do the tour together to feel more intimate. However, this tour would be amazing for groups of all sizes. Eluid was our tour guide and he went above and beyond to take photos and videos so we can enjoy the views and be present. Eluid was truly remarkable he made the tour so memorable with his knowledge and amazing personality I definitely recommend asking him to be your tour guide.

Pleasant and thrilling experience
I had a great time. Alex and Louise welcomed me as if i was native. Very pleasant and helpful. Made sure I was ok with what we were doing. Almost didnt end for me. It kept going. And thats what i like when i pay for an adventure. To go all out and enjoy as much as they’ll give you. And they gave me alot. I was very pleased with the tour. Thank you again guys. See you next time.

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.
