A wonderful highlight of our trip to Guanacaste! Our guides were so kind and friendly, and also reassuring. I did not have any horse experience so I was nervous but the horses were very calm and peaceful and I soon relaxed. Our guides were also very skilled and experienced so it doesn't matter if you are nervous on a horse because they have everything under control.
We felt very well-taken care of, with bottled water, juice and delicious pineapple provided for us. Eating sweet pineapple on a horse in the jungle was a wonderful rare experience!

Our first time in Samara, we are aged 40 to 86. My father hadn’t been on a horse in 40 years. About an hour my father had get off his horse. There were two people with the company, both were extremely patient with my father and arranged for him to go back to base and we carried on. We did two long walks on the beach and the. a long trek in the jungle along a river, absolutely luved it and cool experience, highly recommend. I test them a couple of times prior and quick responses both times.

My sister and I booked this horseback riding tour on our trip to Samara and we could not have been happier with our choice. The horses are well cared for and it is clear that Rene takes pride in his work and is very experienced, as well as friendly and knowledgeable about the sights and sounds of the area. The tour was very customizable to every kind of rider, no matter your experience level. We even had a break during the tour to taste some of the best pineapple I’ve ever had, courtesy of our lovely guide. The scenery was awe-inspiring and it is hard to choose a favorite between the beach and the jungle. If you are looking for a relaxing and enjoyable activity in nature, this is absolutely the tour for you. Thank you 💛

Sehr entspannte Pferde. Die Route durch den Dschungel war schön, gegen Ende ritten wir am Strand in den Sonnenuntergang.
