The horse back riding was fine, but don't bother with this tour. All they did was give us a ride to the resort. Just book it through the resort directly. They have bus service to and from local hotels about every hour. Plus, then you are free to use the resorts hot springs and other facilities as long as you want.

Excellent experience. With good prices.

Excellent experience. Very professional guide. I did not realized two hours of ride had gone so fast. Love to recommend to others.

Exhilarating experience and well worth it

Caron_M, Jun 2023

This was an excellent excursion. There was only the two of us and the guide. We met inside the Hotel Lago which is a beautiful resort with stables. Our guide Mario took us up the mountain side on well behaved horses. We saw great views of the volcano and picturesque scenery. Mario took my phone and took great videos and pictures. We stopped at the top for a break and then back to the stables. After the ride we were allowed to stay by the pools, one hot and one cold. Unfortunately it poured and there was a really bad storm so we couldn't swim. However the ride was great and well worth the sore bum after!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Natural Beauty!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! It was a beautiful and breathtaking experience. The staff employees were down to earth friendly, and attentive. They also have good judgement picking out which horse works best for you. Horses are such beautiful creatures, and will also decide who they choose riding them. I was honored being the chosen one , and rode the horse named Enelo It means “INSPIRATION”. It was also adventurous going up the hills to see the beautiful Volcanic Arenal. I saw their hot springs which was inside the resort, and that was also breathtaking to look at. I had an amazing experience, and would definitely go back. Thank you for everything.
