Excellent horse riding trip - Excellent horse riding experience, through the forest then to the beach , then around the rest of the park , it’s seriously hot so wear lots of sunscreen and take water !!
We then saw the sloths at the sanctuary, they seemed happy but I’m not so sure about all the big cats and monkeys in captivity, they had large enclosures but I don’t really like seeing animals caged like that
Lunch was excellent
And when we wanted to leave earlier they sent a bus straight away to take us home
The driver on the way there was amazing , chatting away and telling us about the culture etc
Recommend this trip
We didn’t do the zip lining ( we are wimps 😅 )

Good for experienced riders if you are solo - What a great ride! I grew up riding but haven’t been on a horse in years, so I wasn’t really sure how it was going to go. It was listed as good for beginners. I rode Ranchero and he was SO well tempered. Since I was the only person for my time slot, we were able to let the horses run a bit and it was fantastic. I brought leggings to change into for riding (don’t wear shorts when riding!) and tennis shoes, but I wish I’d brought my boots because the stirrups rode up on my ankles when we got to galloping. If you’re just walking you should be fine in tennis shoes! (Don’t wear sandals)

Great Wildlife Sanctuary - Their wildlife sanctuary is very nice and there's a ton of very helpful staff to point out and explain stuff about the animals to you. Really happy I made the trip over--the view from the main check-in is also incredible.

Diamante Trail Riding - I love riding and have horses of my own. The horse I rode at Diamante was a very well trained and well behaved horse. It had rained the day before, so our trails were a little muddy, but he handled them like a champ. Great ride and great (and super friendly) guides!

Horseback riding at Diamante. - My daughter and I did the 1 hour horseback riding after ziplining and animal sanctuary, so it was about 1330 on an overcast afternoon. The guides were professional but not very talkative. Guide provided safety brief and helped us mount up, then took pictures. Both my daughter and I have ridden before so comfortable in the saddle. Most trails were hilly so lots of ups and downs. Horses were 15-16 years old and didn't want to do much other than walk slow. My horse only broke into a trot when I was following too far behind the lead guide. Trails were typically too narrow to ride side by side. We rode down to the beach for pictures and then made a loop on trails around park. We enjoyed it, and price seemed reasonable, and well suited for newcomers to horseback riding but we would not do it again.

Nice, but boring - The staff was very nice. Although, couldn't tell if they wanted to be there. They were on their phones the whole time. They did talk at times but the ride itself was very quiet. We basically went really slow to the beach and back around some trees. Not much scenery or animals.
