Overview

This horseback riding experience combines two of Costa Rica’s most beautiful landscapes in one tour — jungle trails and the Pacific coastline of Playa Panamá. Instead of riding only through the forest or only along the beach, this tour offers the opportunity to experience both environments during a single 2-hour adventure.

Guests ride through peaceful countryside, tropical forest paths, and open pastures, where it’s common to see wildlife such as toucans, parrots, iguanas, and other native species. The tour then continues to the scenic beaches of the Papagayo region, where riders can enjoy the ocean breeze and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean while riding along the shoreline.

With small groups, friendly well-trained horses, and breathtaking scenery, this tour offers an authentic way to experience the natural beauty of Playa Panamá and Guanacaste — creating unforgettable memories for riders of all experience levels.
