Great experience, totally worth a bit of rain - Daniel was our tour guide and he was absolutely great! He matched our horses to our personalities extremely well and kept everything very fun and lively. He took great pictures, emerged us in lots of history, and kept the horses in line. The horses were all well fed, well loved, and well taken care of. 10/10 experience and would recommend to most coming to Costa Rica.

Only has to be the best - Hold onto your saddles because this is not a cozy laid back tour. Every horse has a personality and I adored it… you get the full adventure with trot to gallop. We also got to experience seeing sloths and monkeys on the shuttle (which is a super nice addition!) Daniel did a great job being our guide and was laid back and let us do our thing while still heading up the whole show. And you get to swim under a full blown waterfall which is astounding and an experience I’ll never forget!

10/10 Highly Recommend - Danny was so amazing and kind. We ended up getting a private activity because it wasn’t busy season. The horse ride was very adventurous, intense but so so much fun. The waterfall was also a great way to cool off. I highly recommend!

Nice horseback riding - Cell is really good with the horses. We have never ridden horses before but we had a great time. The horses are really tamed. The only thing I wish we had done is to have a picture with the volcano in the background.

Really Fun Tour with Amazing Waterfall Views - This was such a fun tour. Our guide, Alex, made the entire experience easy and enjoyable. The views of the Pino Blanco and La Fortuna Waterfalls were well worth the effort of getting to them. We didn't get to do the ziplining unfortunately, but we plan on trying it next time.

Two great experiences - The horses were well trained and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The path leading to the waterfall was beautiful. This is a great way to combine two amazing adventures, horseback riding and visiting the waterfall

Nice experience! - The horseback riding experience is very nice. However, we expected to be in the trails rather than being on the paved road.

Making the most of it! - Danny our guide was great and overall it was a fun trip. The horses were well behaved and responded to my kids. It rained almost the whole time but we made the most of it! I wish someone had told us to bring a change of clothes in a waterproof bag for after the falls. Everything we had was completely soaked. The hanging bridge was a highlight for me but unexpected for others on our tour. We still hiked down and saw the waterfall but make sure you're in good shape for all those stairs!
