Incredible tour guide! So...

Luke_F, Jul 2025
Incredible tour guide! So much fun. Long ride along the beach, short ride through the forest so be careful of mosquitoes.

Thanks guys! We really appreciate your support! Micha and Sylwia

Great ride on the beach

Ursula_K, Mar 2025
Start was a bit slow, our 4pm Ride startet 45 minutes late no explanation why. But the ride on the beach was beautiful in the sunset, and we had so much fun riding in the water. I can highly recommend it. It is not a trail ride as usual, Horstes walking in a line. We were actually riding by oursevles. More or less.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thanks guys! Sorry about the late departure as we had two riders that really wanted to join and we just wanted to please everyone but sometimes that comes at a cost.. thanks again!

Great experience

Kaya_E, Dec 2022
Everyone has a wonderful time. Great guide with a lot of fun horse facts for the kiddo. They were also willing to be flexible when our original ride had a chance of thunderstorms, and rescheduled us for the next day. Would definitely recommend!!

Great horseback riding experience on the beach

Lea_H, Apr 2022
It was a beautiful ride on the beach, and back through some more shadowy areas. The horses are very well trained and super good looked after! Happy horses! Mika was an amazing guide, gave us some great instructions and answered all our questions!

We really appreciate your time in writing this review and happy that we accomplished our services!! It was a pleasure to meet you both! Micha

Perfection

Diane_S, Feb 2022
The horses were well trained the guide was so good with them. The expanse of beach was majestic. Nearly as far as you could see, unspoiled and clean. We only saw a couple people in one and a half hours.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Hi there, we are so happy to have shared a lovely experience with you and hope to see you again soon!!

Horsing around on the beach!

Stephanie_S, Dec 2021
Gorgeous beach and fun time with the family watching the sunset. The horses and guide were friendly!

Response from Host, Dec 2021

Thanks so much for your kind words Stephanie!

Great experience, amazing owner and staff

Huma_H, Nov 2021
The CR Beach Barn was an amazing experience. The owner and staff were so nice and accommodating to our whole family. My daughter became really scared once we got there, and they didn’t miss a beat in making her feel comfortable and being a part of the plan even she didn’t get on the horse. The horses were gentle and well trained, and the ride on the beach was beautiful. I would recommend this to anyone.

Response from Host, Nov 2021

We loved meeting and riding with you and your amazing family! It was a great experience all around!! Thank you so much.

Thumbs up!

Justin_M, Jul 2021
My family and I throughly enjoyed our ride. The Beach Barn CR was easy to find. Our guide walked us through a quick training. The horses are gentle and well trained. The scenery was amazing. If you are thinking about horseback riding do it here. We even got a fantastic recommendation for dinner afterwards. Thanks again.

Experience of a Lifetime

Alberta-Bajraliu, Oct 2020
One of the best experiences of my life. The experience was well-organized and done along an endless, beautiful stretch of beach next to the jungle. Silvia took her time, took incredible photos and videos, and guided me through how to maneuver on her horses, which were also absolutely beautiful. The pictures from this are magazine-cover worthy. I really cannot speak highly enough of this experience. I went in October, right when Costa Rica opened its borders again, and this was easily one of the highlights of my trip. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who enjoys horse riding, amazing beaches, and wonderful photos.

Response from Host, Jan 2021

It was such a pleasure riding with you and so grateful for the kind words in your review! Thanks again guys! Micha and Sylwia.

Very Unique & Memorable Experince

Jessica_K, Feb 2020
I had not been on a horse since I was a kid, so I didn't know what to expect. But Sylwia was extremely helpful and the horses were so well trained that everything went very smoothly. Riding on the beach during sunset is a magical experience that I would recommend to anyone traveling in this area. I will definitely come back on my next trip to Costa Rica.

Response from Host, Jan 2021

Thanks so much for everything and the lovely and kind words in this review as it really means the world to us!! Micha and Sylwia

Beautiful beach ride on horseback with lovely hosts.

Amy_M, Jan 2020
Easy to reserve and communicate, affordable, and memorable. Great family activity - recommend a 2 hour ride if you can swing it.

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Hi guys! We also really enjoyed hosting you and are so happy you had an amazing time! We appreciate your time in writing this review too. Lots of thanks, Micha and Sylwia and the horses of course!
