My friend and I spent 10 days in Costa Rica and had talked about wanting to ride horses before our trip ended, but couldn't find an option within our price range. We stumbled upon Playa Chiquita Riding Adventures and managed to book a ride with Bruce (owner) the final day of our trip at a great price. What a way... More

My ride from Playa Chiquita to Manzanillo with Bruce and Kristina (another solo traveler) was a day I'll never forget. It was Semana - the holiday when what seems like to entire population of San Jose drives 5 hours south to camp and party on the beaches. Bruce and his horses dealt with the cars, crowds and total insanity that... More

I took my daughter for a ride with Bruce in January. I have done many activities in the area, but my daughter and I think back on that day as one of the best. We visited the beach, traveled through the jungle, enjoyed a refreshing fresh pineapple juice on the way and enjoyed our trip, conversation and adventure with Bruce.... More

Last summer all 3 of my young (7, 6, and 4) grandchildren visited me in Playa Chiquita. For their special Birthday treat, they went horseback riding with Bruce Walker at his Playa Chiquita Riding Adventures. It was wonderful - they were thrilled, happy as could be. Bruce always pays close attention to his guests, and this was no exception. Everyone... More

We had a fantastic day ridign from Playa Chiquita along the beach winding in and out of the jungle up to Manzanillo. He taught us about the local wildlife and really looked after us. His horses are well cared for and really docile to ride. We had a really lovely trip. Thanks Bruce for a great day More

Bruce, the owner of this business, is a unique character. He really loves people and loves sharing what he knows about the area, so his tour is fun *and* informative. The horses seem happy and well cared for and he's got some dogs that seem to go along on every ride, too, so if you're looking for a rousing ride... More

We saw so much of the area. Beaches, rain forest and wild life. Bruce the owner is a really wonderful trail leader and loves his horses. More

My husband & I went on a morning horseback ride along the beach and through the rain forest. Our guide/horse's handler, Bruce Walker could not have been more helpful with his general knowledge of the area. Bruce's passion for his horses, the country and it's history made this a very memorable adventure. Not being an experienced rider in any sense... More
