My two friends and I were over the moon with our horseback riding experience!! This more than exceeded our expectations- we rode our horses along the water as the sun set and the view was absolutely breathtaking. Our tour guide was so kind, careful, attentive, informative, and his love for the horses showed!! This is a MUST DO for your Tamarindo experience!

I always wanted to try a horseback ride on a beach at Sunset. I got my chance in Tamarindo on a Sunday evening. It was just an overall great experience. The tour operator was very responsive to our questions about the meet up location and I had a great ride with other riders. Jeronimo was our tour guide and he did a fantastic job of riding instruction. He was also very helpful to me . We headed north up the beach and got to see a wedding party on the beach. Jeronimo took great pictures of us at several breach sunset locations, and it will be a great memory for me for a very long time. The horses are well taken care of. It was very much worth it!

So we paid about $80 per person - for this just a 45 minutes hardback ride right on the beach across from our hotel which -5 times more than some random horse guys were offering the price.
Two adults and two toddlers our toddlers sat with us. You need two horses still they charge the full priced for our kids and guide hardly spoke english and not much guiding us with anything except riding the horse. There was no information given. There was no fun experience. Maybe we asked for some few photos to take, and that felt like they were irritated when we asked him to take our photos, I don’t think I would recommend this to anyone.
Viator - you should know better please take away this company from your website. The companies on your site/app are pretty good - which people trust. This tour company does not belong on Viator.
Only fun part our daughters liking the horses. ( Even the horses were not taken care of - Ny horse had some kind of open injury to his ear which I pointed out to them - Hope they took care of him)

Good afternoon, we take our business very seriously. Our guests are just as important as our animals so the safety and well being of our guests are our top priority. One of our main goals is to make sure that our guests have a great, comfortable and relaxing experience.
We take good care of our animals and would never take out on a tour a horse that is injured. Our guides are experts and know the area very well and have years of experience riding around the Tamarindo area as well. Thanks!

Rodrigo and Wilman were great to interact with. Rodrigo facilitated the ride and Wilman was our tour guide. He made sure we were comfortable and made it a very enjoyable ride. I would recommend this activity to anyone who is adventurous or enjoys horse back riding.

Nice ride on the beach. I wore water shoes, and would recommend footwear with ankle coverage, or some wrap, since the stirup rubbed a bit. Horse, named Tequila, was very gentle. Only galloped when he wanted to catch up to other horses. Very windy and even with a chin strap my bush hat kept blowing off, so watch your headgear.
Glad I did it.
Excellent guide. He dismounted and took photos with each person's camera.
