Fabulous experience, very roots, from the true riding part to the waterfall swim pause to the delicious local lunch - Authentic, in the middle of a stunning nature. We felt so much respect for the animals, vegetation, land. And respect for us as well, not treating us like tourists, but truly trying to get us understand and like the nature we were discovering. A very special moment, we loved it.

Best tour ever - Love it! He took his time with us explaining and showing us his family work throught out all these years and beyond history. Horse ride was incredible and at the end took us to a cascada which was beautiful and refreshing . Ending with a home cooked meal which was delicious. Really recommend this tour wont regret it.

Love every bit of it. - Randall was amazing! The family land, family horses, and a delicious home cooked meal that beat all the casado meals at all the restaurants we went to. The horses were easy to handle, and he made us feel safe while giving a lot of knowledge of the costa rican land in quepos/manuel antonio area. Would love to come back whenever we come back to Costa Rica.

Great tour with Ronald! - My wife and I went on a tour with Rondald and one of his students for our honeymoon and it was such a great time. We really enjoyed hearing Ronald talk about the history of Costa Rica and its people as well as the history of his family’s property. Seeing the waterfall during the tour was really great as well and refreshing. And to top it off we had a great meal provided by his stepmother which was very good! Overall I’d highly recommend taking some time to visit Ronald and his tour!

Exceptional Excursion in Costa Rica - This adventure with Andy and Randy was by far the highlight of our vacation. Beautiful horses, and Randy is an exceptional guide and horseman. His knowledge of plant life, birds, animals, and the history of the area is unmatched. My wife's first time on a horse and she had no issues at all and she was definitely afraid of horses. Amazing, amazing, amazing time. Lunch was delicious. We definitely recommend this adventure. 300 acre ranch, waterfalls, livestock, and lots of history. Just do it. You won't regret it. D&N from Dallas, TX. 10/15/2024.

Must-have experience - I had a private ride today. It was just the thing for a relaxing day in nature! The organization was excellent and everything went smoothly. I was picked up by Randall at the hotel. He was super friendly and made you feel comfortable and safe from the start. The horses were well trained, easy to guide and very calm, perfect even for less experienced riders. The route took us through a beautiful landscape and offered magnificent views, about which Randall also told a lot. The duration of the trip was ideal – not too short to enjoy everything, but not too long either, so it fit perfectly. Overall, it was a great excursion that I can recommend to anyone who wants to spend a few hours in nature and enjoy the company of horses!

A superb experience - We had a great time at this ranch run by randall. A horseback ride in the plains, followed by a walk in the forest to see different animals (we saw toucans, owls, and some spiders) and a swim in the waterfall. Randall is very concerned about the preservation of this natural environment, as well as the welfare of his animals who are treated with love and respect. Also with little care with us (fresh water, hot water towels, meals ..). For all levels on horseback, I recommend

Recommended 100% - The best idea we could have had was to take this tour. Randall has a love of what he does and incredible knowledge. Family business they look after carefully. His mother makes an exquisite married man and they have a respect for his horses and exemplary nature. We would recommend one and a thousand times
