Great Ride! - I had an amazing time on the ride! I was used to most rides where you cannot do anything but walk through a trail but on this one we were able to trot and some even galloped along the way depending on the horse/rider. The guides were fun and knowledgeable about the area (volcano).

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.

Nice but mainly tourist strap - The view was very beautiful and fun to walk through the river with the horses. For me there could have been a little more action. We mainly walked. Stopped many times for a photo that the guide took of us. However, this was very forced after the 4th time. What I especially hated was that you saw that the horses were afraid of the guide. A horse is not going to lie so I don't think they are treated very well. During the ride we also stopped for a viewpoint and received an explanation about the Maleku (ancient Indian tribe) which was not described that we were going to get. Looks interesting, but I would have preferred to spend more time on the horse!

Avoid - didn’t get picked up - Not much to say as never got picked up by the company so couldn’t do the tour. Booked on Viator and managed to get a full refund through them but never heard from the company as to why they didn’t pick me up. Do not recommend.
