Horeseback Riding with Jorge - We went horseback riding with our amazing tour guide Jorge. We took the volcano rout and it was amazing. Probably the best way to view volcano. Jorge was very knowledgeable and good control of the horses. We all felt safe even with the horses running. It is a 10/10 recommend! Very unforgettable experience. Awesome!

AMAZING Horseback Riding Arenal River - SO MUCH FUN! Victor and Joshua were the best guides on horseback as we got to ride through the jungle, waterfalls and the Arenal river. Able to accommodate experienced riders and beginners, so have no fear if you’ve never ridden before. The guides were funny and personable, the sights and wildlife were stunning, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Absolutely great... - Absolutely great experience, we took the river trip instead of volcano trip given the volcano was covered by cloud, but definitely worth it. Lots of ups and downs, and got into river. Guides are very friendly and responsible.

Horseback riding tour with Canelo and Rubi - I had a fantastic horseback riding experience with guides Jorge and Joshua. I highly recommend it. The service was excellent, and the horses, Canelo and Rubí, were outstanding. I would definitely choose this again.

Horseback, zipline, and rappel - My family (self, husband, 12 and 14 year old daughters) did the horseback riding tour with Jorge and another guide. Our group did the river ride. It was beautiful! The guides did a fantastic job. They were very knowledgeable and fun to hang out with. In the US, horseback riding tours always go at a very slow pace. These horses would trot and even run if you wanted them too. This made the ride very exciting. I highly recommend this tour! Afterwards, we ate at an amazing restaurant beside the Go. Adventure office called Love and Coffee. The food and the view were spectacular. Then we did the zipline and rappel tour. That was also incredibly fun with phenomenal views. It all felt very safe and the guides were fun and enigmatic. I highly reccemned Go Adventure Park.

Exciting and Beautiful Ride - Victor took a small group of us on a horseback ride by the river next to Arenal Volcano. It was so fun! Victor has been working with horses since childhood and has a natural talent with them. The horses seemed well taken care of and he treated them with kindness and respect. We saw them on a pasture afterwards enjoying the open space. The views from the trail were beautiful. Victor pointed out different plants and animals along the way. We passed by a small waterfall and got to walk through a river to cool the horses off in the humid afternoon. Everyone had different experience levels and were welcome. For one person in the group it was his first time and he felt comfortable. I had more experience than the rest of the group and Victor took me galloping while the rest of the group hung back. He explained clearly to me how to be safe and it was SO FUN. Highly recommend this tour!

Best horse riding adventure in the area. - Everywhere I go with my son, we ride horses. I would estimate over 20 times. Thad is the best horseback tour I’ve ever been on. The horses were well taken care of, the euipment was in good order. But most of all the guides did and excellent job. It wasn’t a nose to tail, follow the leader. It was galloping, running, river crossing and just an excellent ride. The horses were give time to rest on several occasions. Thanks to Jorge and Hildalgo.

Beautiful view of the... - Beautiful view of the Arenal Volcano! Stunning! One very important thing to know about this tour is that they take you pretty far out to get to the volcano so to make the tour time efficient the horses canter/run a lot of the time. If you are not comfortable with a cantering horse or an experienced rider this tour will be uncomfortable for you. My husband and I were not prepared for this part of the trip. We thought they would just walk! And remember to wear pants!! I wore shorts and ended up with some pretty bad sores on my ankles from the stirrups. That being said, the tour guides were amazing and so friendly and you can tell they love what they do and love their horses. Just be prepared and you will have an amazing adventure. They took us very close to the volcano with spectacular views where we rested and soaked in the area for about a half hour or so. The guides will take your pictures and have wonderful conversations with you. They are some of the friendliest people! It will be something to remember forever!
