Excellent adventure - Willy is lovely and was great with our group, which included my husband and I along with a family of 4 who had never ridden horses. The thermal baths are incredible, definitely worth taking the time to visit if you’re in the area. It’s also a super gorgeous landscape, and fun to experience it on horseback. Especially fording the river, which you have to do a bunch of times! Our horses got separated/ahead of the others on the way back and it was getting dark out, and I had trouble stopping mine to wait for the others… so that was a bit stressful! But the horses know the way back to town and everyone in the village is super friendly, so we made it there just fine. Definitely recommend.

Horseback riding and hot springs - This experience was very beautiful, we highly recommend it. Jovanny and his family were very kind to us. They taught us to guide the horses and procured us all the way with great patience. Mr. Jovanny was very respectful throughout and gave us a very nice tour. The hot springs were the best! A lovely place!

Incredible ride with wonderful guides and sweet horses - Incredible experience riding the horses. I ended up going on a different tour with the sunset group because I didn’t want to be the only one on the thermal bath tour. It was the best choice and I had so much fun galloping along the beach with newfound friends. The chilling on the beach with the horses and drinking coconuts with the extra cherry on top and it was an incredible ride back watching the sunset. They allow all levels to ride, and the horses are very well behaved and well-taken care of. 10 out of 10 recommend this experience! Once in a lifetime for sure!

Overall nice experience - Afternoon bookings are actually not possible due to river heights. Transport can be improved. The horse riding was great and the hotsprings even better! Willy was a friendly and helpfull guide.

Showed up a couple hours late - Our tour was booked at 9am but the car never showed up and no one at the company would respond to us. Found out a few hours later their town ran out of electricity and they came to pick us up at 3pm. Didn’t really teach us how to ride horses which was fine for me since I ride but my boyfriend has never been on a horse

Not recommended - We were supposed to be picked up at 7 am. We waited for 50 minutes and tried to contact the guide several times. After 50 minutes we got the message that the tour was cancelled due to high water in the rivers. I fully understand that the tour depends on the weather but cancelling it after letting us wait for almost one hour is not the way it should work. I havent received a refund yet, so far no answer to my messages from the tour operator.
