Great time riding with the owner today. Talked a lot about local culture, native plants, and animals while we were on our ride. He loves his horses and most are rescues. They were perfectly well behaved and well taken care of. Didn't see any animals today but still a great ride! Highly recommend this outfit.

it was great! super friendly and is willing to go at the pace and experience of the riders! great horses and guide! beautiful views
Manuel taught us how to put on the saddles. He explained perfectly how to handle the horse despite us having no prior experience. A total success and the ride to the beach is incredible. Recommended.
Amazing experience & excellent tour guide!! The weather was beautiful & the horses were nice! I would definitely recommend to friends and family!! Gorgeous views throughout the whole ride!
We had an amazing time! 🐎🌴 The guide was friendly, the horses were great, and the views were beautiful. Such a fun experience and definitely a highlight of our Costa Rica trip. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience, our guide Antonio was very knowledgeable and nice. We got to see monkeys & sloths. While horse riding by the beach. He provided free water and free pictures. Definitely 100% worth booking this tour. Plus the horses were soo cute and well trained.
Beautiful experience, horses are well trained and gentle, guide was amazing, shared allot of information about the culture and the way of life, even got to see a sloth and monkeys, so you get the best of both worlds, sight seeing and horseback riding, oops and almost forget the amazing beach ride at the beach, along with free photos that was taken, 100/10 experience, all tourists visiting Costa Rica, Jaco, please do this experience it’s one in a life time experience, highly recommend also provided water which was a very nice gesture considering it was beautiful hot day
great ride! guide was very knowledgeable about local plants and animals and knew how to spot them. gave great tips about things to do around town as well, overall such a great experience! would highly recommend!
Very good experience, Manuel is a great guide. And he gave us a lot of information about the nature too. Good horses and a lot of good pictures. Definitely recommand ! 😎👍
Cool experience. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and speaks English as he’s originally from the states. The starting point I was given from the Viator reservation was incorrect, however the guide will contact you on WhatsApp with the correct location. You may want to bring water with you as you will be sweating.
