Tito was a great guide, informative and friendly. He safely led us through the groves and beautiful beaches in Jaco, prepared fresh pineapple as a delicious treat, and was helpful and knowledgeable throughout the ride. Highly recommend!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for the wonderful recommendation! We're glad Teto's friendly personality and knowledge added so much to your ride. From the peaceful trails to the beautiful Jacó coastline and a fresh pineapple break, it sounds like you got to enjoy some of our favorite parts of the experience. We truly appreciate you choosing to ride with us!

I booked this horseback riding tour as a birthday gift for my boyfriend. The tour itself was beautiful, the horses were well cared for, and he really enjoyed the beach and the ride.
Unfortunately, the treatment he received made the experience uncomfortable. When he arrived, they checked several times whether he actually had a reservation with them, and he also had to wait more than an hour, while they prepared everything because they didn’t know about the booking.
They kept asking questions about where the reservation came from and whether he knew people from competing tour companies. Later, on the beach, the guide even told him directly that they had thought he might have been sent by a competitor.
That was the most unpleasant part of the experience. He felt uncomfortable and judged when he was simply there to enjoy the birthday gift I had booked for him. The tour itself was nice, but the way he was treated definitely affected the overall experience.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. First and foremost, we sincerely apologize for the way your boyfriend was made to feel. While we're happy to hear that he enjoyed the horses, the beach, and the ride itself, the interaction you described does not reflect the level of hospitality we expect from our team.
We also want to apologize for the delay that morning. The reservation was received through the booking platform at approximately 2:20 a.m. for our 7:00 a.m. tour. At the time, our system and team were not properly prepared to receive a same-morning reservation submitted overnight, which was an oversight on our part. We have since addressed this internally to ensure early-morning bookings are properly monitored. According to our records, the delay was approximately 30 minutes; however, we completely understand that any unexpected wait at the beginning of a birthday experience is frustrating.
Most importantly, the questions and assumptions regarding competing companies were inappropriate and unnecessary. A guest should never be made to feel questioned or judged for simply booking a tour with us. We have addressed this matter seriously with the guide involved and reinforced our customer-service expectations with our team.
We genuinely value every person who chooses Horseback Riding Jacó, and we're very sorry that what should have been a special birthday experience was affected by this situation. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to learn from it and improve.

Go and ride turbo and cappuccino. My experience was absolutely amazing and the guide was the sweetest guy. He took pictures of my partner and I riding.. He has a vast knowledge about plants, animals in the area, the sea, and the horses.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Turbo and Cappuccino are definitely a great pair to explore Jacó with! We're so happy you had such an amazing experience and enjoyed learning about the wildlife, plants, ocean, and horses along the way. And of course, having photos of you and your partner makes the memories even better. Thank you for such a lovely review!

A really incredible experience! The staff was very kind and hospitable. The trail ride takes you through lush greenery and leads you to a beautiful beach. During our break our guy gave us pineapple and went out of his way to show us sloths as he heard us mention them. Overall a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend!!
Response from Host, Apr 2025
We love hearing this! It means so much to know our guide made the experience memorable for you. Come back anytime — the beach and sloths will be waiting!

It was a Horseback Ride thanks to Girardo ⭐
I rode with Gerardo and, honestly, it was an amazing experience.
From the get-go, he took care of absolutely everything: he guided me very patiently, took a lot of beautiful photos and videos, and took me to spectacular places that only someone with his experience knows.
Gerardo explained a lot of things about the fauna, flora and history of the place, always with a very friendly, respectful attitude and full of passion. You can tell he loves what he does.
Throughout the tour was super attentive, always attentive to my comfort and that I was enjoying every moment. Thanks to him, I had a truly special experience, calm and full of good vibes.
If you come this way, I recommend 100% doing the activity with Gerardo. He is an extraordinary guide and a great person.
