“Relaxing & long horseback ride followed by an amazing dinner”

Reviewed May 30, 2013

Alex and his crew have an array of horses, mostly wandering free on his ranch. He greets you with a smile and makes you feel even more relaxed than you already are- come on, you are in Costa Rica!!! Of course we had to see the 2-day old "painted" horse and the proud mother before we began our 2-hour ride... More

My family and I recently visited the Black stallion Hills Ranch and were greatly impressed. A beautiful ride through dry tropical forest, breathtaking ocean views and an impressive canopy zip line were amazing! Our family got to enjoy a delicious down home bbq dinner with great music.

“Amazing fun! Great People!”

Reviewed March 25, 2013

My friends had a great time at this Equestrian Center / Zip Line hot spot. Fabien was our wonderful guide. He was extremely personable, friendly and helpful - and made our day extra special. The fresh fruit offered at the end of our zip line experience was a real treat. A must-do when in Costa Rica!

We enjoyed a day of horseback riding and zip-lining here at the Black Stallion Ranch. The horses are well cared for and the zip-lining equipment and tour is brand new. A beautiful property with great staff. Highly recommend it!

“Family Fun, two families, 9yr old and 5 yr old girls”

Reviewed March 15, 2013

There was absolutely no problem on this horse riding adventure. The horses were tame, followed the trail would walk, trot or gallop if you desired. Rode from the lowlands up to the top of a mountain to look over all the lands/savannah below. When we were done, Alex (owner) had a pitcher of cold lemonade ready for us. Highly recommend,... More

Four of us did the ziplining, three of us did the horse riding and we all had dinner. The girls had a super fun day that they could not stop talking about all the way... More

“Awesome Adventure at Black Stallion!”

Reviewed March 11, 2013

Great experience on their new zip line - this was our first attempt at zip lining and we knew there are many canopies available in Costa Rica, but this one was managed with great style. The crew (Joey, Juan Carlos, Jose) were attentive, gave clear instructions, and had a great sense of humour - definitely put us at ease. Cutting... More

This was by far our favorite excursion while in Costa Rica!! Setting was perfect- huge ranch that you ride through with breathtaking views of water, etc. the guide could not have been nicer or more accommodating for our family with 3 children ages 7,11, and 13. The horses were relaxed yet responsive- able to work with our different levels of... More

The Black Stallion Ranch adventure is EXRTARORDINARY and should be a MUST-DO on everyone's agenda, especially if you're in the Tamarindo area...but I would even travel to get there!
