My friend and I so enjoyed our guided horseback tour, mainly through groves and on dirt roads by farms, but leading down to the ocean for a brief view. Elaud, our guide hasn’t even been there 2 years but is so calm and knowledgeable, you’d think it was a lifelong career. Can’t sing enough praises for him and his enthusiasm and passion. The horses appear well cared for and loved. Highly recommend this group!

Had an amazing time on this tour. Our guide was super knowledgeable and clearly very experienced in giving tours. We got to learn a lot about Costa Rican culture and wildlife. We also spotted a sloth and a pair of macaws on our tour. Would definitely recommend this tour.

The staff on this tour was amazing! Such nice people and very skilled! Don’t be afraid if it’s your first time riding a horse. They are committed to safety and they are great teachers and guides.

Great guides, we had two of them, they did a great job accommodating us, taking photos. We saw a sloth! Great ride. Next time I’ll book a private one so I have more time on the beach. You go through the palm forest to get to the beach, and then you return.

Wonderful experience riding on the beach and through palm tree groves! Eliod, our guide, was fantastic. He spoke wonderful English and helped us spot sloths and monkeys on our ride. The horses are very well taken care of and easy to ride. A highlight of our trip!

Amazing experience, guides provided water and really catered to the group in terms of riding skill level. Views were amazing and they took pictures for participants

It was amazing! The guides were very friendly, helpful, fun and the ride was beautiful and fun. The horses are beautiful and wonderful. They know what to do and where to go so you can just enjoy the ride and the views.
The guided brought us to the beach to watch the sunset and while we were there, they gave us bottle water and fresh pineapple and offered to take pictures of our group.
I thoroughly enjoyed the 2 hour ride and thought it was worth every penny. I highly recommend doing this while you are visiting Costa Rica…….you will regret it if you don’t.
