Amazing First-Time Horseback Riding Experience! - This was our first time riding horses, and it couldn't have gone better! Alphonso was incredibly patient and kind, especially with my two young kids (ages 7 and 4). He made a quick stop early on just to check that everyone was comfortable and doing okay, which I really appreciated. Midway through the ride, we stopped near a beautiful creek where Alphonso served us some fresh, delicious fruit — such a thoughtful touch! Even when it started raining, he kindly offered me his poncho to keep dry. You can tell he really cares about his guests. The ride lasted about 1 hour and 30 minutes ~ 2H, which was just the right amount of time, especially with small kids. It’s a very family-friendly tour and perfect for beginners. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a gentle, scenic, and well-guided horseback riding experience!

So fun to ride the horses... - So fun to ride the horses through the river! Our guide was kind and the kids loved the dog that tagged along too :)

We had a great tour with... - We had a great tour with my wife and three teenage boys. The scenery was beautiful and the pineapple and watermelon halfway through hit the spot! The tour guide did a great job of taking photos of our experience.

Guide was very friendly... - Guide was very friendly and knowledgeable! Would 100% recommend. We took the horses through the Rio De Celeste river and it was very fun. It was my first time riding a horse and it was very easy as the horses were well trained!

Great horseback tour - Great time horseback riding with this company. We were running late for our tour time and they kindly switched our time. Beautiful ride to the river. Tour guide outstanding and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect way to see rio Celeste - The river is so beautiful and we got to stop to swim and they provided fruit and water. Guide was Knowledgable. It was our first time ever horseback riding, sometimes our horses would not want to walk but we made it work. Being bug spray for mosquitos! Melvin was our tour guide, very nice

20 stars , GO ! - Amazing experience, if I could give this 20 stars I would. Pancho was the most amazing guide, I would love to come back and see him. We ate fruit off the trees and ate pineapples and fresh watermelon by the river .

Phenomenal experience - Alfonso is a phenomenal guide, my gf only speaks English and he did his best to give good instructions. The horses are very well trained and he was very passionate about his animals.

Rio Celeste is worth the ride - We stayed in La Fortuna but booked the horseback riding at Rio Celeste because of the river. Therefore, it did take an hour or so to get to and the GPS would have taken us to the wrong spot, but we were using Waze as well and that took us to the correct spot, so be mindful of that. Also, the road from La Fortuna to Rio Celeste had unpaved parts to it, again just be mindful of that. The fellow that greeted us was extremely nice. Our guide was a good leader and supportive of our son who was a little nervous. The horses were good listeners and knew how to navigate the path. We did stop at the river and took a dip in. The color was so cool and the water refreshing. The mosquitoes were relentless so have powerful repellent. It was a good experience the whole family enjoyed.

This experienced would... - This experienced would have been 10/10 if they wouldn’t take the horses near the street at the end. The last route going back to the meetup is a street walk and my 12yr daughter’s horse (which was being disobedient the entire time) just wondered his way into the street in on going traffic meanwhile there is a deep ditch with little room for the horses to walk on between the ditch and the grass so that part of this experience was very scary and I would make sure that route is changed before I book again. The head cowboy of this particular excursion does not speak English so communication with him is non existent if you don’t speak Spanish. Fernando was his help and he does a great job.
