My boyfriend and I had an amazing time. We were with Brian and it was just the 3 of us so we were able to gallop across the beach. It was my boyfriend’s first time riding and was a great experience for both of us. Would definitely recommend:)
We booked this just the day before, the company was really good to contact and communicate with. We had a driver pick us up and drop us back at our hotel, included in the price so that was nice. The ride was great, only three people and we all had riding experience so it was really up to us the speed we wanted to go. We had a good canter along the beach, our guide took a couple pictures, it was a nice mix of beach and trail/ road. The horses had good energy and a really nice walk/ trot gait. They were also really responsive to direction/ speed and easy to ride. My little mare was super sweet, I wanted to take her home! She seemed a little skinny but I feel that is normal for hot countries, not like our fat horses in Canada with thick winter coats. They did have some hay but no water when we got back so hopefully they were going back to their barn/field soon after our ride cause it was really hot, I feel like a bucket of water for them wouldn’t be hard to provide. Overall it was a good experience.
We’re thrilled you had a great riding experience! Your feedback on our horses' care is valuable, and we’ll evaluate how to further ensure their comfort. Thank you for sharing your detailed and thoughtful review, it’s much appreciated.
Horseback riding on the beach was magical. The horses were so well trained and easy to ride, taking direction easily. We were a group of four at all levels of experience. We saw howler monkeys, a sting ray in the water and several iguanas. Highly recommend and can’t way to come back!
Thank you for sharing your magical experience! We're thrilled you enjoyed the ride and spotted such amazing wildlife. We can’t wait to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure!
Our guide was awesome, but her horse was young and wanted to run the whole time, which was hard on her and us. We trotted/ran almost the whole ride, which was tiring & difficult. Would have liked to have walked more and enjoyed the scenery. My stirrups were too long, so I had a hard time keeping my right foot in the stirrups while going so fast. I had to concentrate on holding on the whole time and I am an experienced rider. She tried to adjust them by knotting them but that knot hurt my ankle. Would suggest some trotting/running, but would walk the horses most of the way. I will say, though, with a better lead horse, our guide would have been able to give us a great experience. One of us dropped our phone and she went back to get it, which was awesome.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this detailed and valuable feedback. We sincerely appreciate your compliments regarding our guide's effort and attitude, especially her diligence in retrieving the lost phone. It's wonderful to hear you recognized her commitment. Please accept our apologies for the aspects of the ride that fell short of expectations. You've provided crucial insights that help us improve. We are concerned to hear about the pace of the ride and the issue with the stirrups. Your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities. Ideally, our rides are a balanced mix of walking, trotting, and cantering, allowing guests to enjoy the scenery and ride comfortably. That this was not your experience is something we will address immediately with our team. We will reinforce our protocols for matching horse temperament to rider experience and for ensuring tack is properly and comfortably adjusted before departing. Your point about the importance of a steady lead horse is exceptionally well-taken and is a key part of creating a smooth ride for the entire group. We are actively reviewing our herd assignments based on your comment. Thank you again for your constructive critique and for your recognition of the guide's positive efforts. We are grateful for experienced riders like you who provide clear feedback. We would be honored to have the opportunity to provide you with a more balanced and comfortable experience in the future. Best regards,
Great ride on the beach and into the hills. Guide was great, horses extremely well trained. Maria didn’t make us walk slowly in a line, but let us enjoy the horses a little. Or if you’ve never ridden, you’ll feel totally comfortable. Highly recommended.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled you enjoyed the ride and felt comfortable with the horses. Maria and the team always aim to provide a memorable and flexible experience for everyone. We hope to see you again!
It was the perfect length with a combination of time in the beach and in the forest. Scenery was unbelievable! Maria, our guide, was friendly and knowledgeable. We loved her!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled you enjoyed the combination of beach and forest and appreciated Maria's guidance. We'll make sure to pass along your kind words to her
Great activity! Pick-up and drop-off to/from our hotel was smooth, horses were great, guides were awesome!
Thank you for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed the activity and had a smooth experience with the pick-up and drop-off. Your feedback about the horses and guides is greatly appreciated!
Ride along the beach was absolutely gorgeous. The horses are mellow and calm. If you're looking for a relaxed couple of hours in the beauty of the beach this is for you. Make sure to bring a good hat and sunscreen. The ride started at Brasilito Beach and went down to Puerto Viejo. There was a short section under tree cover where we saw some monkeys before turning back.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're so glad you enjoyed the beach ride and the scenic route. Your tips about sunscreen and a hat are great advice for future riders, much appreciated!
The beach was beautiful. Saw some sleeping monkeys. The guide was very good. The horses were wonderful. Would highly recommend this.
Maria, our guide was wonderful! It was so assuring she loves her horses, they only do one ride a day. As an animal lover it was great to hear she cares for them so much. Had an amazing ride, very beautiful scenery.
