Absolutely loved this tour! One of our favorites in Costa Rica. The scenery was stunning. Loved learning about Roberts farm. He was very informative. The dinner was even great. We were pleasantly surprised. Usually you get something bland. Would definitely recommend this tour!

Good time

Andrew_D, May 2025

It was a nice ride out the waterfall through trails and streams. The guide is very knowledgeable about history and fauna. It did excellent job of explaining. The lunch was authentic.

Rainy Horse

Carl_B, Feb 2025

This experience did not live up to our expectations. The driver arrived an hour late. The waterfall was beautiful, but we didn't see much else. It was pouring rain so the we and the horses got drenched; therefore our experience may not have been typical.

Natural habitat ride

Nicola_Y, Dec 2024

We had an inspiring visit to Roberto's property, the surroundings, & the superb waterfall trail. The sun shone throughout, the ambience was tranquil & relaxing. As experienced horse riders we found the horses to be on 'automatic pilot', they knew exactly where to go & the cautious speed required for navigating the river ride. My partner led the trail on his clever horse, but the whole trail was ridden at a slow walk, the horses don't trot! So, we just had to go with the steady flow & enjoy our surroundings as we rode mainly along the river course. The other three riders had never ridden before, hence the steady & safe ride. The horses (14.2hh & under) were typically of Costa Rican pony type, lean & docile!

More ride less talking

barry_m, Aug 2024

This was a nice experience but the Horseback riding wasn't has long as I thought it be. The guide wss telling us about local herbs etc. Before the ride. I didn't understand why. The meal provided at the end was very good and filling. The guide had very broken English which made it hard to understand.

Worth it

Alec_L, Aug 2024

Riding through the rainforest on horseback was an incredible experience. So quiet and peaceful. Ilberto was an excellent guide. Very knowledgeable and friendly. He knows his horses and the rainforest so well and made us feel safe in this exotic place. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

10/10 Experience

Carol_B, Jan 2022

My sister and I had a great time with Roberto on his ranch. We drank fresh sugarcane juice, rode his horses up to the falls, swam, and ate a home cooked dinner afterwards. It was a priceless experience and we would definitely do it again! Highly recommend!
