Horse back riding with a view and healthy horses - This was an amazing experience! Victoria communicated well and made sure I felt comfortable and safe. She’ll introduce you to your horse and make sure you know how to guide the horse before leaving on the trail. It was a great experience. Being a banana to feed the horses! They will love it after the ride.

Highlight of my vacation! - This was the highlight my boyfriend and I's trip! The horses were healthy and well behaved, and I look how they are privately taken care of and have plenty of ground to roam free on, unlike other horseback riding facilities. It was my first time riding a horse and I felt totally comfortable. We did a morning ride, stopped halfway, and climbed the outlook for beautiful views. We saw sloths and monkeys, and overall learned a lot about this area from Vici. I would recommend this to anyone coming to the area and would definitely do it again!

Beautiful horses and ride - My sister and I had a great time on this ride. The horses are super sweet and Vici the guide is super knowledgeable. The horses are rescues which is nice and Vici only uses bit-less bridles or a super gentle snaffle - you can definitely tell that the horses and their safety are her #1 priority! I would highly recommend this ride.

An amazing little adventure for our trip to Costa Rica. The 2 hrs went by fast, a little longer would have been good too. - Was a great ride, well behaved horses and a nice scenic ride on trails and along the beach. The lookout point was cool to climb up and check out as well,

Catch the spirit and ride with Victoria and her horses! - Victoria has an incredible personality and the first thing you learn is how much she cares for her horses. I knew right then that we picked the right horseback riding trip!! The ride is beautiful and peaceful! You stop half way and climb up a majestic hillside to see even more beauty from a higher vantage point. Spirit of the Horse is the one to go with!!

Totally magical!! 10/10 recommend!! - This was such a magical experience for my mom and I. Victoria is incredibly knowledgeable, kind and clearly passionate about what she does. My mom and I don’t have much experience riding horses so we were a little nervous but Victoria put us right at ease. You don’t need any experience at all as the horses mainly follow each other and you just have to gently steer them along sometimes. The views of the beach from horseback are spectacular! They also take you up to a beautiful look-out halfway through. I would honestly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Costa Rica. It was a definite highlight and I was sad to say goodbye to Midnight, the very sweet horse I rode. Definitely check it out!!

We had an amazing time... - We had an amazing time horseback riding along the beach. The views were stunning, and we saw so many animals along the way. Vici and her partner were fantastic at matching each person with the right horse and maintaining a comfortable pace throughout the ride. We even hiked up to a cliffside with breathtaking views. The horses were clearly well cared for, which made the experience even more special
