Horseback Riding In Tamarindo Beach

This tour did not show up with horses as promised. We had emailed and agreed for a 10 am meet up. However he had a larger tour book that day and just did not bother to even contact us to let us know. This left our granddaughter in tears. This tour was booked more than 3 months in advance but was not honored. When I called him as we waited for the horses to show up on the beach as promised all he said is he could do a later time or get our money back. The only good thing that happened was there was another vendor on the beach that did allow us to do a walk up booking for a horse ride at the last minute so in spite of this unreliable vendor we were able to figure out a work around for at least part of our group This is not our usual experience with tours booked through Viator.

Great experience. The horses are so well trained. The guides were super friendly.

First time in a horse! This was so much fun and very relaxing! Our guide gave simple instructions and it was very straight forward. He speaks a little English but enough to have a great time. Make sure to wear long pants or sunscreen, the sun will burn your calf muscles!

Lovely experience Great guide

I went with my young daughter. The horses were very docile and the leader was very kind and cheerful. We had a lovely sunset walk and went on a small trail ride to get a break from the sun. I could not have asked for a better first time riding experience for my daughter.

The horses are treated very poorly and are rowdy. The guides don't say much to you and take you a weird route. It was cool as an experience I guess so not 1 star but poor providers. Also could probably negotiate it cheaper at the beach itself.

I love Costa Rica so much and have been many times but was sooo upset after this experience. The horses were very thin and frankly I should have cancelled when I saw them but my niece was set on this excursion. But, by the end she was also upset and felt very bad for the horses. Not only did they not look healthy, they seems exhausted and I didn't see any water even on the beach for them to drink which is crazy after being out there all day long. The guide also kept snapping what I believe was a whip to keep them moving and it was very upsetting. I felt sick to my stomach and would not recommend this to anyone. These animals are amazing and deserve better. It is shameful.

Great experience seeing sloths, toucans. Bit of a long drive but was worth it. Lunch was simple but filling. Our guide was a great driver and guide

Geronimo was so cool in a Costa Rican cowboy way. We had a great ride on the beach and even got to seem howler monkeys!

Great ride on the beach. Horses are sweet and sure footed. Guide didn’t talk at all except to ask if we wanted pics together which was perfect for me as I was there for the horses not the conversation.

The beach was kinda crowded. It was fun to ride horses, but not exactly an enlightening tour. The guides were fantastic and helped everyone snitch as they needed.

Tamarindo beach is a beautiful setting and the horses were well trained. Our major complaint is that our “one hour session” ended after 42 minutes.

Relaxing, peaceful, sunset ride on the beach. Just our family of four with a very competent teenage boy as our guide. Walking only. Healthy, well-trained horses. No experience necessary and good for any age. Our guide took lots of family photos for us as the the sun was setting.

What a terrific experience! Loved the sunset gallop and trot on the beach. Excellent horses, so well mannered. And a knowledgeable guide. Thanks!!

Marlo was a great guide . The horses were healthy looking and friendly . Great time and excellent beach ride

Wow! Alberto was the most amazing guide! You can tell how well the horses were cared for, not over ridden, or left on the beach all day. He made the experience an enjoyable and unforgettable one. Highly recommend this ride! Thanks Alberto, you are a kind person to be around.

Our guide Jeronimo was so accommodating, very nice, and had a clever sense of humor. We ranged in ages seven to 65 and he paired us with good horses and checked that we were all comfortable. The ride was amazing and fun . What a wonderful experience and lifetime memory!

The guides were so friendly and professional! We were a family of 6 adults and had the best time! Our favorite part was seeing the howler monkeys ! What a surprise!! We loved it!

This was such a great experience! Our family of 5 had 3 experienced riders and 2 very nervous riders. The guides were so helpful and patient. We rode along the beach and then explored a small area of town. It was a perfect way to explore Tamarindo. Would highly recommend this tour!

We thoroughly enjoyed our horseback riding experience! It was easy to set up and the contact person was very responsive. Our guide was on time at the beach and very helpful. The ride was beautiful and relaxing!

This was truly enjoyable. Being able to experience a horseback ride on the beach of the specific ocean was like being in a movie. Our guide, Geronimo, was so fabulous. My daughters are both little people, and he helped them get in the saddle and made sure they were comfortable and felt safe on the horses. They had never been on a horse before. We really loved this experience and give Geronimo 5+ stars.

I recommend riding at 5 p.m. It was nice to catch the sunset. Our guide even offered to take pictures of us when we didn’t ask.

We rode out in the sunset with Pablo! Pablo was awesome! Super friendly and made us feel very comfortable! My horses name was Tequila and she was the sweetest! We had an amazing time!!! Recommend 10/10! Thank yall so much!

Our guides were amazing! They were super nice and knowledgeable. They took pictures and videos for us while on our ride!

Our guide, Jeronimo, was very kind and helpful. We decided to do the sunset ride at 5pm and it did not disappoint.

The horses are gentle and the scenery, gorgeous (we did a sunset ride). Nothing to complain about, although the experience was listed as one hour and we were done after 40 minutes. At $85, I question the value. I hope those horses get good quality feed for the price!

This horseback riding tour on the beach was an absolutely great experience. The ride itself was breathtaking, with stunning coastal views and a serene atmosphere. The horses were well-trained and gentle, making the experience both enjoyable and comfortable. Our tour guide, Jeronimo was very knowledgeable and made sure we were safe at all times. Given the quality of the tour and the beautiful setting, I believe the price is more than reasonable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a memorable and picturesque horseback riding adventure.

Riding horses on the beach is a wonderful experience. The guides were kind. However it was a bit overpriced. You can rent horses for less on the beach.

Alberto did an amazing job! Very informative! We would definitely take this tour again along the beach.

The ride was ok. The guide was about 15 minutes late. Also, we were a bit frustrated because our guide stopped to talk to no less than 7 other people along the way. He would stop for a good 2 minutes with each encounter. I appreciated the solid communication and customer service from an administrative perspective, but was disappointed in the guide.

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)

Great experience. We had the 9am ride. We rode the beaches of Tamarindo. Great scenery and great fun. Highly recommend.

Definitely recommend. My 9 year old daughter and I did this together. She’s very timid and I was a little worried but she was paired with the sweetest little horse that she was able to handle and feel confident and independent on. There were younger children with another family and the guides lead their horses. They did a great job matching riders to horses and the horses were calm and sweet but still fun and capable! The beach at sunset was beautiful, the guides lovely!

This was my kids favorite thing of our trip! What a fun experience! The guides were great with the kids. We went at sunset. Beautiful!

Wonderful horseback riding in Brasilito Along the beach - pick up and drop off was great, horses seemed well cared for, and Manuel, our guide was fun and competent! Going back tomorrow!

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.

Had a lot of fun on this. Geronimo was excellent. Little bit of riding experience a plus. Bring your sun screen Definitely recommended

Geronimo and Alberto were excellent! We went as a group of five (2 parents, 3 kids) and it was a great time. Highly recommend!

The BEST experience ever! The wrangler, Jeronimo was fantastic, funny and just a pleasure all the way around! The horses are well-cared for, hooves shod, responsive, and super calm with all the activity around. Three of us went for the sunset ride. It was so great that I’m going again before I leave!

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.

We really enjoyed ourselves. We rode at sunset, beautiful weather, sweet horses. Our guild was very laidback.

The guide was very helpful and the ride along the beach was lovely, very relaxing. One of the horses was a little stubborn but that could be attributed to our young novice rider. All in all a fun experience!

Great time! Private group with 9, kids and adults both enjoyed this! Recommend! We did sunset was beautiful!

Beautiful scenery and horses were easy to ride. Vincente was always making sure we were enjoying ourselves and took pictures for us.
