The best of the best!
The horses are incredible and to be able to ride them on the beach during a sunset was truly an amazing experience. Diego is the man! He guided us through and treated us to good conversation and ice cold refreshment at the beach bar and we got served while on horse back. So cool. The horses are super healthy and well cared for and well trained.
Diego also really knows how to get those perfect photos and videos. This experience is a must for anyone who wants to feel the beauty and joy that life has to offer here in Costa Rica.

Sunset horseback riding
We’ve gone horseback riding before plenty of times but not like this. It was super freeing and incredible. The host was lighthearted and humorous. The horses were really nice and trained. The horses will take you on a nice trail, and if youre more comfortable on a horse, if you tell your horse to take off they will, which was the best part of the ride for me personally. But if you dont want to gallop, the horses will take you on a relaxing ride. The beach was beautiful and had some beach chairs available and it was super empty which was great! We even had a little white dog accompanying us while there! Amazing vibes!

Riding on the beach has kinda been a bucket list item of mine and besides getting rained on the adventure was marvelous
I was able to pay with my credut card where some ecperience I've had had to be cash. When I got to the event I didn't even need to show my ticket. Whuch told me the event planner was trusted.

A true Costa Rican adventure
Gustavo and his team were very well organized and kept the group safe. You could tell they care very well for their horses as they all looked beautifully groomed. We had a lovely ride down the beach and on the way back we caught the most amazing sunset I have ever seen. I highly recommend this experience. It is money well spent.

The most surreal sunset horse riding experience
Amazing experience. We ended up being just the two of us on the tour. The horses were well cared for. Gustavo was excellent and informative. We spend an hour and a half riding the horses on the beach and watching the sunset. The guide took lots of amazing pictures for us.

Excellent sunset ride with great horses .
Excellent beach ride. The horses were well cared for and they matched the horses to the riders riding level. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. This is my second ride with these folks - 4 years apart. This time I brought more family . We were 75, 30 and 12 and everyone had a good time. I have been on other horseback rides in Costa Rica but this was the best!

Nothing short of perfect....
Nothing short of perfect. My best friend and I have grown up riding our entire lives & we’re impressed with the care of these horses unlike many tours around. The view was incredible, th people were incredible. Diego was so kind & trusting of us. We were six people traveling from FL & we’re honestly so happy.

Guide was a no show
We drove an hour to the location. There was no staff at that knew where we should be meeting. The guide was no show. We waited 50 minutes and then had to drive an hour drive back. Disappointment.
