Guaranteed adventure - The ride was great! The guides were great, it was a little rainy but they offer a poncho in case it rains heavily, the activity lasts approximately 3.5 hours, it is totally worth it. You ride in the river and next to it. Totally adventure guaranteed

Amazing horse tour - Best horse ridding tour we have ever been on. We had our whole family, some beginners and some advanced and we all had a great time! They let you run the horse if you want and the terrain was amazing. Great experience.

A Must!! - The horses are well cared for, and the guides are very Knowledgeable. We rode our horses for about two hours through the mountain streams with aerial views of the volcano. It was breathtaking. I could not recommend it more. Fantastic experience recommend!

Great Ride! - I had an amazing time on the ride! I was used to most rides where you cannot do anything but walk through a trail but on this one we were able to trot and some even galloped along the way depending on the horse/rider. The guides were fun and knowledgeable about the area (volcano).

Horeseback Riding with Jorge - We went horseback riding with our amazing tour guide Jorge. We took the volcano rout and it was amazing. Probably the best way to view volcano. Jorge was very knowledgeable and good control of the horses. We all felt safe even with the horses running. It is a 10/10 recommend! Very unforgettable experience. Awesome!

AMAZING Horseback Riding Arenal River - SO MUCH FUN! Victor and Joshua were the best guides on horseback as we got to ride through the jungle, waterfalls and the Arenal river. Able to accommodate experienced riders and beginners, so have no fear if you’ve never ridden before. The guides were funny and personable, the sights and wildlife were stunning, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

Nice but mainly tourist strap - The view was very beautiful and fun to walk through the river with the horses. For me there could have been a little more action. We mainly walked. Stopped many times for a photo that the guide took of us. However, this was very forced after the 4th time. What I especially hated was that you saw that the horses were afraid of the guide. A horse is not going to lie so I don't think they are treated very well. During the ride we also stopped for a viewpoint and received an explanation about the Maleku (ancient Indian tribe) which was not described that we were going to get. Looks interesting, but I would have preferred to spend more time on the horse!
