    Shane_S, Mar 2023
    I’ve never been horseback riding and our guides made it very simple. The horses were very calm. I did the 1600 tour and was able to see the sunset on the beach. Pictures were included and we even got to see some monkeys along the way.

    Flora & Fauna
    Lindy_M, Mar 2023
    We had a group of 6. We enjoyed the short path to the beach. Along the way we got to see mango and papaya trees. We also got to see monkeys and a sloth! The beach was beautiful! The tide was a little too high to ride back on the beach but we really enjoyed our trip!

    Emily_R, Mar 2023
    AMAZING! Fabrizio and his team were extremely accommodating and kind. Very patient with my group as we had never ridden horses before. The sunset was unmatched. Highlight of my trip to Costa Rica. Cannot recommend enough!

    Excellent staff and experience!
    Michael_D, Mar 2023
    We had a great time horseback riding. I’d recommend wearing a hat because of the sun and wearing pants due to the material on the saddle. The staff was really friendly and good with first time riders like us. We got to see monkeys, and sloths! All around a really fun time.

    Great Tour!!!
    Holli_T, Mar 2023
    Our family really enjoyed this tour! The guides were amazing. Very knowledgeable and helpful. They took very good care of us and made sure my younger daughter was secure and safe every step of the way, as she is smaller. They found a sloth and monkey for us to see, which was a highlight. We would definitely recommend this to others! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Memorable and so fun
    Denise_L, Mar 2023
    Fabrizio was excellent. He was kind and funny and very good at answering our questions and noticing the animals. The horses were very well behaved. We took a lovely trail which included wildlife and lovely vegetation along with riding on the beach. So fun! We highly recommend and would do this tour again. Thanks for a great day

    Unforgettable experience
    Kristina_F, Feb 2023
    A definite must (even if you don’t have any riding experience)! We rode on the dirt roads on the outskirts of Jaco where we were able to see monkeys, sloths, and learn about the local flora & fauna. Riding along the secluded beach watching the sunset was absolutely stunning. Guide was attentive to both us and the horses. Rode back under the stars & moonlight. Highly recommend!

    Great morning ride
    Eric_P, Feb 2023
    Beautiful morning walk down the trail and dirt roads to the beach. Fabricio and Carlos were very knowledgeable and friendly. We saw Capuchins, a Yellow-billed toucan and even a couple of sleeping sloths on the ride. We ended at the beach and saw a couple whales playing in the bay. We definitely lucked out on the wildlife! The ride was easy and slow the guides were great with new a nervous new rider but offered to let the more experienced riders run a little if they wanted.

    Early evening ride.
    Susan_C, Feb 2023
    Was picked up and dropped off at hotel. Riding on the beach nearing sunset with friends. Guide was good but quiet.
    Response from Host, Mar 2023
    Hi, than you for booking with us, was a pleasure to have you in our experience. It's very important for us to listen all our reviews. The guide is really experienced, he has almost 20 years working with horses, so, in the tours he is playing attention to the clients and the horses to avoid an accident, it can happend if the client is not riding in the right way, that's why somethimes is quiet. Also, we understand some client love to share, but some people don't. So we try that the tour be an experience to enjoy the trails, nature, wildlife and the beach. We hope to hve you again in our tour. PURA VIDA
    Best experience ever!
    Pramane_P, Feb 2023
    This horse riding experience was magical! We loved it so much and the highlight of our trip. We have never been on horses before and were very nervous but Fabricio and George made us feel absolutely comfortable and made sure we were matched with the right horse. The horses were so well behaved and trained and you can tell they are very well taken care of. On our ride to the beach, we saw a sloth and a family of monkeys. The sunset was absolutely beautiful and they took great pictures of us. It got dark really quick and instead of riding back in the dark, the tour guides had a taxi take us back to our car. This was such a great experience. we wanted to do it again the next day. I highly recommend this tour.

    On the way to the ocean we saw so many monkeys and also sloths. Our cowboy guide was amazing at pointing things out. He also took pictures for us at sunset. Was a great day and an amazing adventure. I would highly recommend this horse riding tour!
    Loved it - kid approved
    Angelique_M, Feb 2023
    Brought my daughter as part of her birthday gift, both of us first-timers to horseback riding. We had such a wonderful time and fell in love with our horses and Balla the dog. My friend came along for the ride and said it was amazing as well. Our guide was very patient, personable and made sure we enjoyed the trek start to finish. Highly recommend!

    We had a great morning of horseback riding across fields, through woods, and down to the beach. Guides were absolutely lovely, horses well trained and groomed. It was easy and enjoyable.

    Must-Do activity in Jacó
    Kaden_H, Jan 2023
    This was an amazing tour! It was just the two of us and the guide! We got to see a family of monkeys in the forest, picturesque mountains as the sun set for the evening, and got to ride horseback through the sand beachside! Our guide was amazing and knowledgeable about the area and even took pictures for us with the sunset and beach and the background.
