Awesome experience! The guide was so friendly and the horses are so well trained! The guide even took pictures for us.This was one of our favorite excursions in Costa Rica! Highly recommend!
Thank you so much! We're happy you enjoyed our well-trained horses and the photos along the way. It means a lot to be one of your favorite experiences in Costa Rica!
This was a surprise hit with my family. We went at urging of my youngest son. The rest of us (dad and two teenagers) were expecting it to be pleasant but nothing special. We were really wrong. I hadn’t realized that a horseback ride through the jungle was on my bucket list, but it turns out it was! All four of use were smiling from ear to ear the whole time. But what made it really special was the warmth and kindness of the family running this business. Our guide, Andy, was both funny and humble, but also was clear with his instructions, put safety above all, and checked in regularly to make sure everyone was safe, comfortable and happy. Before and after the ride we enjoyed fresh fruit and juices prepared and presented by the family, and we had a great time feeding the horses and processing sugar cane. We had a lot of fun doing the river crossing. Unfortunately, conditions weren’t safe for swimming with the horses that day, but I certainly appreciate that Andy made sure that safety came first. I was hesitant when choosing this ride because it wasn’t a ride to a waterfall or on the volcano. But I think we made the right choice - at the end of our ride, we were wet, muddy and very happy to have had this wonderful experience.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're so happy the experience exceeded your family's expectations and had all four of you smiling throughout the ride. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Andy, especially your appreciation for how he prioritized everyone's safety. It was a pleasure welcoming your family!
Incredible experience!!!! Would definitely do it again.
Thank you so much! We're so happy you had an incredible experience. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure!
Very chill but fun horses, and the guides were amazing the entire trip.
Thank you so much! We're glad you enjoyed our horses and had such a great time with the guides. We hope to see you again!
