The family that runs the farm for this horseback trail is so nice. It’s not so much the cloud forest as it is a trail through farmland with vista points to see the ocean on a clear day.
The staff was fantastic, laid back and accommodating. The horses did great. We got to trot, gallop the horses as well as walk them. The trail was beautiful. After the tour we were able to grind our own sugar cane, make candy, and the owners made us great snacks.
First time horse riders! We had an amazing time. The horses basically self-drive, are calm and friendly, Marvin and Miguel are excellent company and the whole experience was superb. We left feeling so high from it and have amazing photos of the views.
This was one of my favorite experiences in Costa Rica. Pickup was easy to schedule. Once at the ranch the process of checking in and getting set up to ride was smooth and easy to navigate. Instructions on what to do (first time rider here) were easy to follow and I felt completely safe with a guide at the front of the line and one at the back. The guides helped to keep us moving at a steady pace and to stay together when gaps started occurring. I went with two other friends who were also first-time riders and they both shared that they had a great time and would do it again. We were pleasantly surprised that the "snacks'" that are offered were made fresh with our help. This made the experience more interactive and a learning experience as sugar cane was squeezed through a machine for a fresh drink and sugar cane candy (with and without nuts) was hand churned for a tasty treat. We were also given an empanada style cheese bite and more. Overall, the hillside views were gorgeous. It's not a rain forest ride (which we did not expect it to be but seems that many assume it will be due to the location) but it was beautiful, a nice change of pace and well worth the experience. All staff were very kind and helpful. Added bonus: They have friendly pet dogs on the premises :)
It was Truly amazing! A very lovely family, very nice Tour, amazing Guides and views! We loved it. The Highlight of our Trip so far.
We loved our experience with Justin. It was the final day of our time in CR and definitely topped our list of most favorite experiences!
I would reccomend to use Viator only to research the tour you are interested in. Don’t ever book through Viator as they charge 100% commision. I was charged 95$ -pp by Viator for this service and the actual tour company charges 50$/pp. when I called Viator they made me send them 3 emails to see if they would so called price match and eventually refused to pay me back the difference. Viator is a complete scam and worth only to be used as a research for your travel but you are better off buying from the tour company directly
This is a scam. Our group of 7 were charged for hiking the waterfalls, guide and horse back riding and instead did the trails ourselves.. had no opportunity for bathing suits/swimming and then found out Faro booked us in a 5 min truck ride back to the main center instead of horseback riding. It was a total waste of money. Completely over priced and not worth it.
Despite the misty morning, the ride felt truly enchanting. In just two hours, we fell in love with both the stunning surroundings and our magnificent horses. At the end of the tour, we were treated to delicious homemade banana bread and delightful fried cornbread dumplings filled with cheese—hands down the best I’ve tasted in the region. Looking forward to visit again to the café they plan to open, which will feature these delightful treats. Highly recommended!
This was overall a really good activity! We went on a very rainy day (so we didn’t get to see much in the way of scenic views), but still had lots of fun. The horses were well-behaved and beginner friendly. The guide was kind and spoke excellent English. At the end of our horseback riding tour, we got to make caramel out of sugar cane and ate homemade empanadas and banana bread. It felt like a very immersive, authentic experience. The only downside that we can recall was that there was only a very brief period of time in which we were actually in a forested section of trail. We were under the impression that we would be riding mostly through a forested area—this was not the case. We were primarily riding through farmland, rural roads, and neighborhoods. Despite this, we would still recommend it to other travelers!
