It was a great experience. The tour guys were amazing and went out of their way to make sure we had a great time and a great experience. They also make sure we got to take plenty of photos and took photos of the entire party.
Do not use this company! The address in the booking is incorrect and will take you to the middle of nowhere! The address they gave me after arriving on time for our horseback ride was actually two hours away. They will not issue a refund! TripAdvisor is also not helpful either.
We’re sorry to hear about your experience. Our booking confirmation clearly provides our meeting location and directions to Horseback Riding Jacó so guests can arrive at the correct starting point. Unfortunately, since the reservation was confirmed and our team and horses were prepared and waiting for the scheduled tour, missed reservations are considered no-shows and do not qualify for a refund under our cancellation policy. We understand how disappointing it is to miss an experience you were looking forward to and are genuinely sorry you were unable to join us.
It was a Horseback Ride thanks to Girardo ⭐ I rode with Gerardo and, honestly, it was an amazing experience. From the get-go, he took care of absolutely everything: he guided me very patiently, took a lot of beautiful photos and videos, and took me to spectacular places that only someone with his experience knows. Gerardo explained a lot of things about the fauna, flora and history of the place, always with a very friendly, respectful attitude and full of passion. You can tell he loves what he does. Throughout the tour was super attentive, always attentive to my comfort and that I was enjoying every moment. Thanks to him, I had a truly special experience, calm and full of good vibes. If you come this way, I recommend 100% doing the activity with Gerardo. He is an extraordinary guide and a great person.
¡Qué lindo leer una reseña así! Nos llena de orgullo saber que Gerardo logró transmitir no solo su conocimiento sobre la zona, sino también la pasión y dedicación con la que realiza cada recorrido. Nos alegra muchísimo que te hayas sentido bien acompañada y que además te llevaras fotos, videos y recuerdos tan especiales de Jacó. Sin duda compartiremos tus palabras con Gerardo. ¡Muchísimas gracias por recomendarnos y por confiar en nuestro equipo! Pura vida 🇨🇷
A really incredible experience! The staff was very kind and hospitable. The trail ride takes you through lush greenery and leads you to a beautiful beach. During our break our guy gave us pineapple and went out of his way to show us sloths as he heard us mention them. Overall a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend!!
We love hearing this! It means so much to know our guide made the experience memorable for you. Come back anytime — the beach and sloths will be waiting!
It was a great trip. The guide was very nice, he showed us lots of special animals such as a sloth and parrots. The horses were lovely. The excursion is highly recommended!
We’re so glad you had a fun ride and got to see some of our amazing wildlife! Thanks for the recommendation and kind words — come back anytime!
Eli was such a great person, he was patient, made me feel comfortable, acted as our photographer, and overall very interactive. Simply the best!
Eli is going to love this! We're lucky to have him on the team — always patient, friendly, and ready with the camera! Thanks for riding with us and for sharing your experience.
