This was a terrific outing for 6 adults. The experienced and novice riders all had a wonderful time. The scenery was beautiful from the jungle to the beautiful waterfall where we all went swimming. Many on the tour jumped from high up on the rocks to the pool below. The family that run this tour are well organized. they served... More

This tour made for a wonderful, memorable day. The guides are kind, attentive and considerate, and they do a good job of pairing riders with a horse that matches their riding experience. They’re also great at telling you ahead of time what distance you will be riding before stopping, how long you are able to stay at the waterfall, etc.... More

Although we didn't take the horseback tour, we did hike in for an amazing experience of swimming and viewing this incredible spot. Bring a lunch and lounge away the hours watching and listening to this spectacular natural phenomenon! Not the easiest place to find if not on a tour, but worth every twist and turn!

The beautiful, majestic Nauyaca Waterfall lies at the end of a valley and is only accessible by horseback. Tours are operated by the land owners, a Costa Rican family who gave up cattle farming in favor of an ecotourism business, leaving the former pastureland to grow back into a forest. The tour is perfectly organized, with breakfast and lunch at... More

These are real good horses that will do what you ask of them. The waterfall is amazing and a nice lunch and snack thrown in. It was great and we felt like part of the family.

Enjoyed a great day with our eight year old girls on their 8th birthday riding horses on trails through the forest and across rivers. The horses were healthy, gentle and well trained. Four guides escorted three groups totalling 13 people along the trails. We stopped at their pristine "cafe in the woods" for breakfast along the way. Breakfast was great... More

Our group of two families of 4 adults and 4 kids, ages 9-14 had an awesome day. After mounting the horses, we headed out the rugged road through the jungle, and one of the adults in our group became too scared to ride the horse. She was terrified. Luckily, the staff arranged for her to ride in the truck, and... More

Don Lulo's morning breakfast ride to the Nauyaca Falls was a perfect way to spend our first day in Costa Rica. After everyone arrived we went to the ranch and were matched with our horses. The horses were well cared for and used to having different people on them. We rode about twenty minutes to a beautiful setting in the... More

This tour is a great value. They provide a breakfast after a short ride. Then continue on to the falls. Swimming under the falls and jumping off the ledges is so much fun. Then after all that they provide lunch. I think it was $60 USD per person. To get there you take the road to San Isidro out of... More

Don Lulo's Horse back tour to Nauyaca Waterfalls was a total adventure. Highlights included the mountainous trek, getting to know the personalities of all the horses, watching our amazing guides swan dive into the falls.... and climbing and jumping off the waterfalls ourselves. A true adventure. Don't forget to wear pants instead of shorts, rookie mistake!
