Fun adventure on horseback! - A wonderful adventure and memory of our time in Costa Rica! The horses are beautiful, gentle, sure-footed and well cared for. The ride was through beautiful terrain— past small farms, and fields, through the bosque and jungle, over creeks to a lovely waterfall. Our guide was patient and thoughtful and provided interesting stories about locale culture and wildlife. We saw a spotted owl on the way to the farm and our guide pointed out a dart frog, a toucan and several different plants and flowers on the short hike to the waterfall . Swimming in the waterfall was refreshing — bring shoes that are good for wet and rocky surfaces. The lunch provided at the end was hot, fresh and tasty! This was a great tour and a lot of fun! This tour is not in Manuel Antonio Park — but in a beautiful area with less crowds.

So much fun! Great value! Costa Rican adventure! - We had so much fun on this adventure! Our guide was wonderful and the horses were gentle, sure footed and easy to ride. All of the horses appeared very well taken care of and were allowed to rest. The ride is beautiful through the bosque and jungle. We saw a rare Pygmy owl and a poison dart frog on our adventure . Appreciated the guide’s naturalist walk to the waterfall and telling us about the local plants and their unique uses. The lunch after the ride was excellent. Fresh and tasty and a plentiful portion. Take this tour— you won’t be disappointed.

Awesome experience. - This experience was AMAZING! The horses were SOO well-trained, and Hugo was a great guide. My daughter has some experience on horses, so he let her "lead" the group and set the pace, which she loved. The waterfall stop was awesome - definitely bring suits for a swim! The lunch at the end was delicious. Overall, a really excellent experience.

A great ride - This tour was great and not a short ride either. A nice horseback ride to a few places. We even saw some relics that weren't expected. Be sure to wear water shoes and bring bug spray.

Costa Rica from a different perspective - Our ride was amazing! Our guide was attentive and took special care of my mom (86 years old) who hadn't been on a horse in 30 years. We loved the ride as well as the time at the waterfall before heading back. Eddie pointed out different things along the way and it was great taking it all in from the saddle. Lunch afterwards was a welcome perk as well!

Nice but underwhelming - Your folks were great, horses were well kept but the tour is on private lands not the park. There was no wildlife and no real conversation about the space around us unless we asked. If you want to ride horses in the forest, this trip is for you. If you want to see any wildlife or actually get into the park, the title is misleading.

Take care not to cancel at the last minute - Make sure they don’t like us that at the last minute the local operator canceled our activity because it was oversold and there was no place
