Our horseback riding tour was one of the best experiences we've ever had. It has been a lifelong dream of mine to ride on the beach. Our guide, Martine, was so friendly and kind, and made the ride very pleasant. He consistently made sure everyone was comfortable throughout the ride. The areas we rode through were beautiful. Being given the freedom to run on the beach once we got there was unforgettable. Martine also took photos and videos throughout the ride, which he shared with us. This allowed us to enjoy the ride and keep our own cameras stowed away. I would recommend this tour to anyone, and I sincerely hope to return one day and do it again!

Nice relaxing horseback ride along the beach at sunset with my partner. Very family friendly treatment and very well looked after horses.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed the horseback riding tour! We were able to ride on the beach and stopped for a refreshing pineapple snack. Highly recommend this if you're in the Samara area.

This was an awesome experience. The horses galloped through Samara beach at sunset, which was a very unique experience compared to other horse riding experiences. The only thing I did not enjoy, which was not the fault of the tour operators, was the long treks across unpaved public roads with cars passing by the horses. During our other horse riding experience in Monteverde, we only went through farmland, which was much more enjoyable experience. But on this particular tour, we spent at least half of the horse riding trek on unpaved public roads getting to and from Samara Beach. Finally, the equipment was a bit dated. The tour operators should invest in updated saddles and helmets.

Excellent services from Largo and Rafa. Those guys are very knowledgeable and made our experience quite enjoyable. They did all the work from pickup, quick demonstration, accompanying along the way and presenting everyone with water and snacks and finally groping everybody to their hotel safely. Highly recommend

My family had an amazing time riding horses through the village and along the beach. We stopped for water and pineapple half way. Everything was great. Our guide was brilliant, friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

Rebecca, our guide, was amazing. She pointed out wildlife throughout the ride which was spectacular. We saw many, many monkeys and butterflies. Our horses were easy to ride and so much fun. We did the tour which included lunch and the food was delicious. I highly recommend!

Not to be missed during your stay. Hiking on a beautiful and almost deserted beach. Horses healthy, well treated, well educated, energetic and at the same time very quiet. Wow to do again
