Ridning omkring Arenal Volcano base

I was very lucky and was The only person on the tour, road very handsome horse named sultan, and had an amazing guide, who was very knowledgeable about the area, fauna and wildlife, this is hands down the best tour you can do in la fortuna and the best views of the volcano you can get. I did the morning tour to beat the heat, and came back to the property to use the hot springs later.

This was the worst experience of my stay in Costa Rica. Due to cloudy weather, there was zero visibility of the volcano. Of course, weather is beyond anyone’s control - but it would have been professional and considerate to inform guests in advance and manage expectations. There was no acknowledgment at all that the volcano wouldn’t be visible. The guide (I believe his name was Domingo) was unkind and at times outright rude. He appeared completely uninterested throughout the tour. When we reached the so-called “viewpoint,” he didn’t even address the obvious lack of visibility. Most concerning was the safety aspect. I have riding experience, yet I still felt uncomfortable with how carelessly the group was handled. At one point, he pushed the horses into a gallop without considering whether all riders felt confident or safe. Overall, disappointing, poorly managed, and far from the experience advertised.

had such a fun time!! would recommend to anyone visiting la fortuna. the guide was very experienced and had a great personality. the horses were so cuteee. never was a time I didn’t feel safe

This company is very easy to work with. They helped me out and I truly appreciate them and timely responses and ease to work with. Great tour company

Our horseback riding experience was absolutely wonderful! I went with my 11-year-old daughter, and we both had such a good time. The horses were beautiful, gentle, and well-behaved, and the landscapes were breathtaking. After the ride, we spent the whole day at the resort’s hot springs. The facilities are beautiful, very well maintained, and made for the perfect place to relax. A quick tip: bring your own towels, or you can rent them—payment is by cash near the locker rooms or by card at reception.

There were about 30-40 people. Way too crowded. Originally booked one location and the day before they texted that they were doing the tour somewhere else (at the hotel, where all the other tourists except us were staying), probably to merge multiple groups and save money. There was a 9 year old crying half the tour until they begged to be taken off. There should be some age limit because it was really annoying when you want to just have peace and quiet. Also zero indication about where the pickup for the way back is. Had to ask multiple staff and bus drivers. The staff were telling me to kick my horse hard to get it to go. My partner is an experienced horse rider. Another tourist told her to not kick the horse. That was annoying. Would be 5 stars if they limited the group size, but it felt extremely crowded. Also a tour bus stopped at the volcano lookout at the same time as us, so we didn't really get to enjoy it since there were like 100 people there.

This is the horseback experience to book - snag the 8 am slot so you can enjoy FREE access to Los Lagos Hot Springs all day, complete with water slides, wet bar and more. The horseback guides - Adrian especially - were helpful, kind and informative. This was a highlight of our trip!

The was relaxing and fun. We paused a couple times to admire scenery as well as a bunch of monkeys. The guide was really nice and the horses were fun.

It was a great satisfaction. We rode for an hour and a half in the wilderness. Instructor Adrian was funny, friendly and had a great time. I definitely recommend it because you can experience horseback riding that you cannot experience in Japan! There is a great chance of rain along the way, so you need to change your clothes, including your shoes.

Wonderful experience! The staff took great care of us and the horses were a pleasure. Highly recommended!
