So peaceful - Our tour was great. Our tour guide was even better. He never rushed us and he held the rope of the horse my wife was on because she was a little nervous. The horses were very calm and it was a nice ride for us first time riders. I’d definitely recommend this tour with this particular guide. I don’t remember his name but he was awesome.

A fun half day adventure in Jaco! - Manny is awesome! He meets you on the beach and takes you along the shore to a jungle trail where we saw white faced monkeys scampering in the trees and a sloth lounging on a branch high above. On the way back there is a scenic rocky cove ideal for photos. Manny is fluent in both English and Spanish, so communication is easy and stress-free.

Great experience, greater tour guide - Antonio is THE best for this trip! He is the original tour guide of Jaco beach on horseback. He was an American living in Texas who fell in love with Costa Rica and had been living here for 20+ years. Incredibly nice and easygoing, and very helpful. If you want to learn horseback riding with a knowledgeable American turned Costa Rican, this is the guy and tour you need

We will do it again, for sure! - What an incredible experience we just had. A big thank you to Manny for making this such a great time. The communication before the trip was helpful and everything went very smoothly. We are from Texas but have not been on horses in years. We were a little nervous but, Manny a fellow Texan put us at ease. The horses were great and responded to all commands. We saw Monkeys, a sloth and lots of birds and beautiful vegetation. Manny was a great guide explaining and highlighting many things we did not know about Costa Rica. We would highly recommend him and this experience.

Relaxing horse ride at sunset - Had a really lovely late afternoon horse ride along the beach
Manny was really helpful and attentive - the horses are really well looked after and very calm
Neither of us have ridden before but that didn’t matter
We saw monkeys in the rain forest too
Would highly recommend

Great Experience - We had an incredible time on the horses!!! We walked through the ocean, the river and the jungle! We saw even saw monkeys! The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and taught us everything we needed to know about the wildlife and riding a horse. This was also a toddler friendly excursion, our 19 month old fell in love with our horse!

We Loved it! - Our guide Manney was great! His horses were calm and friendly for first-time or beginner riders. We took our kids ages 9, 12, and 15 and everyone had a great time. The views as you ride down the beach are gorgeous. Then, you go into the forest, where Manney searched for animals in the wild for us to see. We actually spotted a Sloth in a tree above! Manney took a couple of great family photos and everyone had a great time. We did the 10am tour and it was quite hot. If you can swing the sunset tour I think the temperatures might be more comfortable. Afterwards you are right by the Tangeri Beach Hotel and restaurant. It's a great place for a cocktail or meal. Wonderful excursion! Enjoy!

Pick Manny!! - Manny was very professional & an excellent guided tour. Knowledgeable of Costa Rican customs, but American for English. Horses were treated very well. Thanks Manny!

Good experience and beautiful sunset but wished photos were shared with us - Overall, the tour was nice. We went during sunset and the views were gorgeous. The tour guide was nice but a little bit more instruction on how to ride the horses and more safety precautions could be put into place (as this was done on a public beach with all sorts of things from kids to dogs on the path). Just beware that your feet might get a little wet half way through the trip as you go over a river! The tour guide took a lot nice pictures as we weren't able to take any for ourselves and told us they would share it with us but never ended up doing so. We also sent a follow up email but never received an email back which was disappointing.
