Outstanding experience !!!

My husband and I with our two teenage sons (16&14) had a wonderful ride with Diego along the beach! We ride Mustangs in Texas at Karma Farms (also awesome!), so his beautiful horses were perfect for us ! Even though we are experienced riders, Diego was excellent in his instructions, professionalism, and ability to expand our knowledge of these amazing horses! This was definitely a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica!

Thanks to this very nice family!!

we enjoy sharing our horses, and I am particularly happy to be able to share some experience to improve people riding skills.

We have selected our horses by a process of years, and let us trust them and share a better experience.

Just like them did, driving to our facility is easy. either from Jaco or Quepos area, driving directions and a gps will drive you here-

kindest regards

Diego

Best horseback ride ever

Was looking at a ride closer to Manuel Antonio, but the drive was well worth it. The meeting place was not much, but the horses are well maintained.
All four of our family have ridden several times, but one in our group had never ridden before. Diego was very clear and easy going with the instructions and within a few minutes we were all effective riders.
After a scenic ride in the forest, we headed to the huge beach to ride in the surf. Unbelievable! We had a quality camera, but Diego also emailed pictures he took of us for free.

Thank you very much for this nice comments.
We are certainly located about 40 minute drive from Manuel Antonio.
As well as 25 minute drive from Jaco Beach.
Driving happen to be a very recommend way to come, because the beach is lovely to be enjoyed as relaxing spot after the ride, and next door Hotels will be happy to welcome you for lunch or dinner.

Deigo

Deigo was the best! He was patient, thorough with what we needed to do. I can't wait to get back and ride with him again. ☺
Thank you for showing us a great time.

A very Nice Family with great attitude!!

Thanks for the review.

Riding on the beach always appeals to bring Swim suit and Shorts. We do recommend that. However highly recommend to bring a pair of long pants or leggins, cause it better protect you from the movement on the saddle.

A viser or Hat and sunscream always recommend to bring to.

And you are welcome to come back.

We just did this on Wed Aug 12, 2015 and it was absolutely amazing.

I very rarely write reviews but I had a small group of family and friends do this and it was definitely a highlight of the trip. Thanks Diego !!!

thank you for your review...

In Spanish, we have a saying. ¨for smart listening people, few words is enough¨
I mean, even a short review, thanks for considering us amazing.

The Main Asset we do have is Experience. When you ride with me (Diego) you happen to enjoy years of experience. Far from a Luxury Upscale Facility, we are simple but effectively teach you how to ride.!!

thanks again!

A Great Experience in my Vacation

My family and I (one kid, two teens, and my parents) all went on a horseback riding tour at 'The Riding Adventure'. Let me just say, it was beautiful! Diego gave us two options; ride on the beach or in the forest. We chose the beach and we all had a wonderful time. Diego was so patient with us even though we weren't that experienced. The horses were so well trained and gorgeous. Diego will always choose the right horse for you! My two sisters had the chance to canter/gallop along the shore with Diego's help. Diego was also very careful with me since I am a little younger but I still had a great time! I highly recommend this riding tour if you are visiting Costa Rica! It's something you just can't miss!
Thanks so much Diego!
