If you want to feel the touch of nature in a horse, this is the right activity for you!
You will ride on a ranch of about 300 acres, and during this horseback riding trip, you will see so many species of birds, butterflies, cows, creeks, iguanas, and some plantations we still have in the fields. Also, as this is much more than a simple horseback tour, we include a hike in a primary forest where you will discover poisonous frogs, legendary centenary trees, plants, monkeys, and some extra surprises that our forest keeps secret.
During the ride, you will also have the opportunity to visit one of the five waterfalls we have on the property, and enjoy a refreshing moment, relaxing your body and soul feeling the real Costa Rican massage. At the end of our tour, you will have some fresh water, iced tea, and refreshing towels waiting for you before lunch.
This experience is for everyone (kids after 3 years), with or without experience, you can have one of the most memorable activities of your life.
This was an amazing experience, on of the most meaningful of our trip to Costa Rica. We were lucky to be hosted by Randall and his family on this tour of their ranch. The horses were gentle and we traveled a variety of paths. We saw blue morpho butterflies, owl, numerous other plants and birds and hiked a short bit of an old forest. Randall shared the history and ecology of the land, as well as of the nearby town Quepos and the palm plantations. The ending casado was delicioso – for adults and kids alike! This is truly unique and memorable way to experience a part of this beautiful area.

My daughter and I took the horse ride on Friday morning March 29, it was absolutely one of the most magical – and fun – experiences we’ve ever had. This is a multi-generational family who have embraced conservation and stewardship of the sizable land they own. The horses are healthy and refreshed, gentle, peaceful and relaxed, no bits are used. They are clearly loved and well taken care of. We rode at a comfortable pace, stopping as Randall shared his knowledge of the trees, wildlife, geology, and indigenous history. The tour is perfect for people of all ages and shapes and capabilities. You will experience a vast array of Costa Rica’s biome, play in a waterfall., take a short hike, lean against a 500 year old tree. My daughter and I agreed that this is the best horse ride we have ever taken (she is on equestrian so this is high praise)!!! To top it off, the best cassata lunch ever – fresh, cooked perfectly. This is one of the most special places in the world – so grateful to Randall and his family for their hospitality and stewardship of their part of the planet. Don’t miss this tour!
Well trained horses each picked for the experience level of the rider. My horse was very responsive to commands, sure footed on the slippery paths and creek crossings. They wear bossals rather than bits, hand made by the rancher. The three hundred acre ranch is an example of environmental awareness and sound ecological practices. Spring fed creeks, cool off and water massage under a waterfall, followed by cassado lunch was all well worth the price.
