Absolutely amazing horseback riding tour! 😍 The nature was incredible – lush, beautiful, and like something out of a fairytale. Our guide Andres was simply perfect: highly skilled, professional, and completely in control of everything. We felt safe the entire time, and his great energy made the experience even better. Highly recommended!
Absolutely brilliant experience! Mariano matched each of us perfectly with our horses. The horses were impeccably behaved. We learnt so much about the local area, wildlife, fruits and plants along the way. We spotted toucans, a huge iguana and some beautiful birds. After our ride we ate rose apples, guavas and sugar cane from our trip. We then had dinner in the restaurant which was delicious. All the horses were so well looked after. It was an incredible day. Thank you so much Mariano for such a fantastic day.
My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience here! Andres took care of us, the horses are well taken care of, we were safe the entire time 10/10 recommend
Hands down our favorite experience in La Fortuna! Even as novice riders, we felt completely at ease. The horses were stunning, well-behaved, and clearly loved, and getting to trot and gallop through the countryside was a massive highlight. A huge shoutout to Johnny—he was patient, engaging, and made the whole trip unforgettable!
How can you not give this a 5 star? Riding a horse in the rainforest? Amazing. We did this in the middle of the afternoon though, and it was HOT. So I would suggest doing first thing in the morning. Our tour guide was very kind, knowledgeable - and our horses were just as sweet! My horse Cocoa was a bit slow and at his own pace, but who cares! Pura Vida, baby!
Such an awesome experience! It’s a private tour, so just you and your group, no random people included. Beautiful trails, got a chance to see a sloth which was super cool, and our tour guide Johnny was so nice and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to horseback ride in the Costa Rican forest :)
Healthy beautiful horses. Amazing, charming guide Andres. Spectacular scenery. Andres was a great teacher and we all were able to gallop. What a special afternoon.
Exceptional experience, the horse back riding was amazing, the nature and guide as well. We got to shower after and they provided towels, which was so good. We had dinner at the restaurant after and the meat was in the top 5 inches without a doubt!
We had a great experience. It was a private tour (just me and my +1 and the guide). It felt more like an animal watching or a farm tour done by horseback (we saw howler monkeys and a toucan) instead of a horseback riding tour. The environment was fun and it seemed adaptable to all levels if you wanted to go faster or if you were a complete beginner they could adapt. Better than other tours where you walk the whole time and the horse does all the work. The horses were well cared for and our guide, Johnny, did a great job with everything from explaining the personalities of our horses to spotting wildlife. Would recommend this one. 40 minutes from downtown La Fortuna but well worth it to get a better experience outside the main tourist block.
Amaaaaazing!! Really adventurous and beautiful tour with amazing horses in a gorgeous surrounding 🙏🏻 Thank you joey, thank you Mariposa, thank you Assombro and thank you cacao for taking care of us!!
