Sunset Horse Riding Tour - We had an amazing sunset horse riding tour in Costa Rica! The horses were well cared for and gentle, making the ride relaxing and enjoyable for all experience levels. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe the entire time. Riding through beautiful scenery and ending with a stunning sunset was truly unforgettable. It was the perfect mix of adventure and tranquility, and easily one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Costa Rica!

Dream of a lifetime! - WOW. If you are debating, DO IT!! This was our family's FAVORITE experience. We zip lined, surfed, jumped off waterfalls, but this was our absolute favorite. Such a beautiful experience to ride at sunset on the beach and through the jungle/forest. Our kids were 6,7 and 9 and had never ridden a horse before. We felt so safe and grateful for our guides help. He was wonderful and so kind! Looking back at our pictures, it was everything and more. Such a fun family experience we will always remember. Also, a reminder to bring cash for tipping as we almost forgot!

Best horseback ride of my life! - Our horseback riding tour was one of the best experiences we've ever had. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to ride on the beach. Our guide, Martine, was so friendly and kind, and made the ride very pleasant. He consistently made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the ride. The areas we rode through were beautiful. Being given the freedom to run on the beach once we got there was unforgettable. Martine also took photos and videos throughout the ride, which he shared with us. This allowed us to enjoy the ride and keep our own cameras stowed away. I would recommend this tour to anyone, and I sincerely hope to return one day and do it again!

Decent horse riding experience, awesome sunset views - This was an awesome experience. The horses galloped through Samara beach at sunset, which was a very unique experience compared to other horse riding experiences. The only thing I did not enjoy, which was not the fault of the tour operators, was the long treks across unpaved public roads with cars passing by the horses. During our other horse riding experience in Monteverde, we only went through farmland, which was much more enjoyable experience. But on this particular tour, we spent at least half of the horse riding trek on unpaved public roads getting to and from Samara Beach. Finally, the equipment was a bit dated. The tour operators should invest in updated saddles and helmets.
