5.00We booked this 3rd party from the cruise we came in on and it was an awesome experience. When we got off the ship we met up with our tour guide Jose C. He had our name printed on a piece of paper so it was easy to find. The 4 of us got into a private van with A/C (which is a must😁) and some bottled water. We drove for about an hour to the horse stable and national forest, which went by pretty quick thanks to Jose's informative conversation. We also got to stop on the way there at a little fruit stand and store to try some local fruits and snacks. Once we arrived at the horse stable we split up into 2 groups of 2. 2 of us went to the national forest for an hour and a half and walked the super easy trail (if walking through the forest is too much you can always hang out at the local restaurants and do some shopping or eating) and the the other 2 went on an hour and half horse ride through the streets and along 2 beaches. While in the forest we saw snakes, monkeys, sloths, toucans, and raccoons. For the horseback riding section we had a blast. The first 45 minutes was smooth and relaxing along the beach with beautiful views. The second half was where the fun started. We raced our horses down the entire beach and really got to experience riding those amazing animals. After our horse ride we got served some fresh watermelon and pineapple and bottled water. We then drove back to the cruise port where we got dropped off right to the pier. I highly recommend this excursion and would definitely do it again if we make it back to Limon. I also want to thank Jose C for such an amazing day and recommend everyone to request him as your guide.
Amazing tour!

An Experience You Cannot Miss

5.00I recently went on a horseback and national tour in Costa Rica, and it was an unforgettable experience. Rosa and Alex were divine and fabulous company, making the tour exceptionally special by tailoring it to our group's personal interests. My sister's favorite animal is a sloth, so they made sure to stop along the roads, in the park, and everywhere in between to show her the sloths. They also introduced us to local fruits and foods, which added a wonderful touch to the tour. It was a lovely time, and I would highly recommend this tour to any tourists visiting the area.
Great adventure not to be missed, our favorite of the cruise.
