Ride of a lifetime - The owners were fantastic, and the guided tour was both enjoyable and flexible, allowing plenty of freedom to truly ride. The horses were well cared for, and the route—through lush greenery and along the beach—was absolutely stunning. This was by far the best horseback riding experience we've had. Highly recommended! **P.S.** To get there, follow the road all the way to the end.

2.5 Hour Samara/Buena Vista Beach - 3/2025 - We scheduled this as our first excursion on our 10 year anniversary trip. The guide set up on horses based on our riding experience. He was fluent in English and Spanish which was great! We did the 2.5 hour tour and learned quite a bit about the area and even had one of the younger 6 month old horses to tag along (no rider) to follow its mom throughout the tour. We went up to see Samara from the mountain top and Buena Vista was where we rode horses on the beach! It’s near the turtle refuge site but we were there in March (wrong season). We would do this trip again! It was well worth it!

Highly recommend!! - highly recommend this experience. They do an excellent job caring for the horses and providing a safe experience for the riders. Climbing the mountain for the incredible view and riding on the beach at sunset was an incredible experience.

This is the right choice! - We loved our walk between land and sea. Martine is an excellent guide. We felt safe throughout the tour. The landscapes are beautiful. The horses seem happy and obviously they are well treated.

Unique and wonderful way to appreciate the area - In this unique experience we saw monkeys, jungle, panoramic ocean views, and a beautiful beach sunset. And this was all while on horseback (for our first time) where we were able go up and down steep slopes, ride through some water, and gallop along the beach. It was awesome!

Absolute highlight of our Costa Rica Trip! - Core memories made! What an incredible experience, the best horses, knowledgeable and fun guide, great communication in booking.I went with my daughters and we were all different levels but they put us on the right horses and made us all feel so comfortable. We saw monkeys as we rode in the jungle area, amazing cliff top views, stopped for water and fresh pineapple and rode/galloped on the beach - the sunset was insane! Highly recommend this company, we all loved it

Guide on his phone the entire time - The horses were well trained and taken care of. The guide was one of the owners Heniev, and he spent the entire tour on his phone texting and calling. There was little to know, explanation of the local flora or fauna, nothing that was described in the tour. If I asked him questions he would answer. When we had our break, he actually went off to the side to be on his phone. He later in the tour explained that his wife was trying to get home from San Jose by bus was having difficulty, however, by this point, we were already disappointed.
