Horse back riding - We had a blast going horseback riding. Nice easy trails and the guides were very informative. I will try one of their other tours. The reception desk has very friendly people as well.

Excellent Experience with Diamante! - This is our first time visit Costa Rica - what a beautiful country and beautiful, friendly, polite people! We are still here in Costa Rica in October ... the rainy season! No joke - and we are from Vancouver where it rains a lot! We were looking for a tour to do, and decided on Diamante - even though it was risky with the rain. We are so glad we went - the rain held off long enough for us to go horseback riding. I guess the rain had discouraged others from taking a ride because it was just my husband and I while everybody else decided to go zip-lining. We made the right choice with a leisurely trail ride - at one point ending up on the beach for photos. Lots of birds and different scenery, and the howler monkeys in the background letting us know they were around. After a lovely ride, we visited the butterfly sanctuary, jaguars, sloths, toucans, monkeys as well as others. We learned so much in that all the animals are rescues and not fit to return back to the wild. We then visited all the botanical gardens - so gorgeous - and ended up at a little "coffee" house where we had the pleasure learning from Aris - a lovely young man who has been with Diamante for ten years. Again - we were the only two people, so we had basically a private tour. He taught us how sugar cane is harvested, squeezed, dried, and ultimately made into brown sugar (I'll never buy white sugar again!). We also learned about coffee - how it's grown, dried, ground and we had the best sample of arguably the best coffee (and sugar) we have ever tasted. But then it kicked up a knotch - we learned all about the cacao bean and how that is harvested, dried, ground, and then combined with a little milk and sugar to make chocolate ...yummy! We had an amazing experience with Diamante ... I will certainly be telling anybody who is thinking about visiting Costa Rica to visit Diamante as well. At the end of the day we both felt enriched, happy, fulfilled - it was a wonderful day that we will always remember with happy thoughts!

Saw monkeys and rode on the beach! - Amazing experience through the quiet jungle on well-behaved horses. We were riding for a solid hour plus and the guides were great! Skip the ATV's and enjoy quiet nature...

Horse Ride was Perfection! - I wanted my kids to experience every bit of adventure on our trip to CR! This was no exception! 3 out of 4 of us have never been on a horse. My kids ages 10 & 7 were very excited to ride! The horses are very well taken care of and trained extremely well. You didn’t have to do much as the horses tend to just follow the lead horse. We had a private tour with 2 guides who spoke excellent English. We rode through the woods down to the most beautiful beach and then back up into the woods. About an hour on the horses was perfect amount of time. Go early in the morning as it gets very hot and it can be uncomfortable to ride. My kids, as first time riders, said this was their favorite excursion! This tour company is very well managed and thought out. Free parking with a shuttle to the reception area. Highly recommend Eco!

Horseback riding Diamante Park - Good experience Horseback riding at Diamante Ec o Adventure Park. A shuttle bus that runs every 30 mins was available to take me to the park. Once th ere I could see the horses and the workers. I was g reeted and the instruction was explained. It was lis ted as good for beginners. I rode Bert and he was not cooperating at first, kept turning back to the st able. Arnol was able to take the reins and lead him to the trail then it was smooth after that. Since I w as the only person for my time slot, we were able t o enjoy the trail, the zip liners above and the catcu s, it was fantastic. Love going by the beach where I was able to get photo opportunity. Rode through t he woods not much to see. It was a bit rough on t he trails but with the instruction of leaning backwa rd and forward helped. Recommend an early ride, much cooler.

Riding Away - The ranch hands were great with the horses and paired them up well with the skill level each person. Some of the horses looked as though they needed a horseshoe change and hoof trim. It was cool to experience such a dry landscape although the ride itself was slightly boring. The ‘beach ride’ is merely a quick 5 minutes for a photo op. This would be a good activity to pair with other things!
