We appreciated the equestrian tour with Finca Valmy, a family-run spot near Manuel Antonio. Our hosts were pleasant and the tour leader, Che, was personable as well as very comfortable in English. The horses were gentle and my two teens, who hardly ride, enjoyed the scenery as we went through the low rainforest to the waterfall. Be advised -- this... More

We decided to horseback ride and Valmy Tours picked us up at our hotel and drove us to their ranch about 40 mins away. Along the way they gave us some history on different trees and background of the country. Upon arriving we were met with guides and paired up with the horses. The ride along the creek in the... More

This was such a wonderful treat on our vacation. I took my 72 year young mother who absolutely loved it. We arrived early for our morning tour. We drove in our rental car to the ranch. I thought for certain that we damaged the rental car on the long gravel road to the ranch but it was fine. We are... More

This was incredible. Everything from Che being a WONDERFUL and HILARIOUS guide to Marvin being so kind ( we were his last tour!) to the beautiful horses. Che is incredible, full of knowledge. He was by far one of my FAVORITE parts of my trip to Costa Rica. I will most DEFINITELY return to Manuel Antonio and take this tour... More

We went on this tour after reading glowing Trip Advisor reviews. Valentine (the owner) agreed to accommodate my husband on the tour at the last minute (his fishing trip canceled) and picked us up from the hotel, which was very convenient. A 40 minute and VERY rough drive (I felt bad for his van), brought us to his ranch. It... More

We did an afternoon tour with Finca Valmy. Valentin the owner and horse trainer personally picked us up. My husband and I had previously ridden horse once before but not in the last 5 years. We were very comfortable on Valentin's horses. They were so gentle and easy going. Che our guide for the afternoon was hilarious, very conscious about... More

My husband and our two daughters 12&15 booked the full day tour "a ride through the rainforest "near the Valmy stables -we enjoyed it so much, that we booked the overnight ride the very next day. It was only the 4 of us , and lets just say none of us are experienced riders. We rode up to the cloud... More

This tour is great for any age. My daughter is 4 and she was able to ride her own horse with a guide riding next to her. She was thrilled. My mom is 70 and a bit nervous about riding a horse. The guides are very reassuring and the horses are so well trained, you don't need any riding experience.... More

Excellent afternoon trip with the kids (ages: 10, 11, 11, 17). Valentin, Cha, and Marvin were all very cordial and great with the kids. Cha was our guide and a wealth of information about the jungle and creatures that he shared with the kids and kept them intrigued. All the horses were beautifully cared for - groomed, clean, and fed... More
