A surprising find. - This was an awesome experience. Great tour that focused on conservation in modern Costa Rica. The horses are beautiful and well trained. The guide, Randall, is excellent and makes sure everyone has a great time. He takes great photos and gives them to you at no charge. Lunch at a local restaurant was excellent. Don’t miss out on this experience.

The tour was the most exciting part of our trip - The tour was amazing. We were greeted at our hotel and taken to the landscape/farm and it was gorgeous The guide let us pick our own horse of many horses. Once we started riding the guide let us move at are on pace. The path was breathtaking we rode through rivers and the mountain sides. He took photos as we went and he gave tips to position our bodies down hill and up hill. We will definitely take the tour again.

Horse backing riding in paradise - The area where we rode was beautiful. The horses were mild mannered and seemed to be well cared for. Our guide Cesaer pointed out things along the trail. We even saw a toucan. The swim by th waterfall was so refreshing and we never felt rushed. Lunch afterwards was a very good Costa Rican meal. We would definitely recommend this tour.

An amazing adventure. - Our guide Hugo was extremely knowledgeable about the forest and history of Costa Rico. His dog Max that went on the ride with us was wonderful and it is an adventure we will never forget.

Great tour - Higly recommended - This is a must do activity! We had a wonderful time. Our guide, Alvin, was wonderful and very patient with us as we didn’t have a lot of experience with horseback riding. The actual horseback riding portion of the trip was about two hours long (which is all you want if you’re not used to riding a horse), but the whole tour was about 5 hours long. This included the pickup, the drive to the ranch, and lunch at the ranch after the horseback riding. The horses walk pretty slowly, but the trail they go through in the jungle is beautiful, and we had a great time!

Great guide and fun experience!! - Hugo was a fantastic guide and our group of friends has a super fun time! We had both experienced riders and those who hadn’t ever ridden a horse in our group, and Hugo catered to everyone’s experience level. Lunch was also fantastic!!
