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!

10 out of 10 tour! - Hugo was an amazing guide! The horses here are very well taken care of by the staff, and Hugo was great about teaching us how to properly ride. We got to see the beautiful jungle and swim in the waterfalls, and Hugo took lots of pictures and videos for us. The food they provided was excellent and we even got to visit and pet the other farm animals! I would highly recommend booking this tour if you have the opportunity.

Best horseback riding trip ever! - I booked this experience for my 12 year old daughter who adores horses in mind. We decided on this option over the beach because you can ride on a beach in so many places but it is not often you have an option to ride through the rainforest to a waterfall. Our guide Alvin was so knowledgeable and friendly. The ride was beautiful through the rainforest. It was just my daughter and I and so relaxing. We saw a blue morph butterfly and a toucan. The waterfall was so refreshing to swim in and overall it was a peaceful relaxing trip.

Bucket List Excursion - Travelers with no riding experience should not be apprehensive about this excursion. The guide was an experienced horsewoman and a good teacher. (It had been years and years since I’d been on a horse—so glad I did this!) If you have water shoes, bring them for the stony bottoms of the waterfalls.

A Sparkling Gem in Costa Rica - This was an unexpectedly delightful experience, and was my partner's favorite excursion of our trip. Herberto was a wonderful host and clearly had so much love for the horses and the land. THe waterfall we vistited was actually my favorite out of all the waterfalls we visited, which were many. We never would have been able to see it without this tour. Although the tour is five hours, you're not on horseback the entire time which was a positive for us. This truly was a gem and we couldn't recommend it more.
