The tour was too short and didn’t feel worth the price. The horse also went really interested in the tour which made it slightly frustrating having to coerce it to move when they stopped
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely appreciate your honesty, as it helps us improve our tours. We’re sorry to hear that your horseback riding experience near Arenal Volcano didn’t fully meet your expectations—especially regarding the duration and the horse’s behavior.
Our tours are designed to balance safety, comfort, and immersion in nature, which sometimes means a gentler pace to accommodate all riders. However, we understand your frustration when the horse paused during the ride. These animals have their own personalities, and while we train them to be responsive, they can occasionally get distracted by the lush surroundings.
Regarding the tour length, we’ve found that most guests enjoy the current duration as part of a multi-activity day, but we’ll certainly review your feedback to see where adjustments can be made.
Pura Vida, and we hope to welcome you back for a more seamless experience.

If we could rate this a 20/10 we would! Best trail ride ever. We've ridden many places in USA and traveling. Gorgeous vistas and amazing fun guide. There were four in our family group and we unknowingly got gifted a private tour. We asked to canter and we got to a few times. It was an exhilarating blast! Horses/ponies healthy, responsive, full of personality and happy.
