    Horses are healthy and well cared for. They were very well behaved. Scenery was lovely along the beach.

    Terrible Owner and Business Practices

    DO NOT book with this scam artist! I booked a tour for 20 people at 2 different times for Aug 20th. I had to cancel the bookings and did that well in advance of the Aug 20th date. It is now September 18th and I still have not received my refund. Every time I reach out to the owner, he tells a date of when I can expect my refund but then he never sends it! I was supposed to get my refund August 20th, then he changed it to August 25th, then to September 1st, then to September 12th, and now he hasn't responded to me after my inquiry again. I have filed a claim with my bank and will certainly be reaching out to local authorities.

    Response from the operator: You Will get Your money back on september 30th. As we mentioned before. This is low season and to collect funds back has not been easy. Please I Will stick to this message Your refund as soon as we can. Thank you.

    Sweet horses and ride guide!

    Gustavo was fantastic! Good communication and he patiently stayed with us the entire time since I’m pretty nervous around horses. It was a beautiful ride. The horses were so sweet and gentle and seemed very healthy and happy! Thanks for a great experience.

    Don’t miss this great ride! This company has been operating for 30+ years. The horses are treated very well.

    We had a wonderful beach walk/ride at sunset on La Bejuco beach. There were only four in our group and one cowboy. Adrian was fantastic, so tender with his horses. And very polite and kind to us. ( 60+women) he used our phones and made videos and took pictures for us at no additional charge. We asked to go faster and after he was confident with our riding skills permitted us to canter. It was excellent. We booked directly with them via email. Highly recommend this company.

    Response from the operator: Hi mrs. thanks for your wonderful review Please I could ask to review the star grade you gave us to lead better according to your opinion. Thanks again. We are happy to please

    Horseback Beach Ride

    Highly recommend the beach riding with The Riding Adventure ! Easy to schedule on What’s App even last minutes. They were able to accommodate our family of 6 for a beach tour. Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable, horses were healthy and easy to ride even for a beginner.

    Beach & horses Adventure Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaco.

    How much does Beach & horses Adventure Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Beach & horses Adventure Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Jaco is not rushed.

    Is Beach & horses Adventure Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jaco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Beach & horses Adventure Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Beach & horses Adventure Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beach & horses Adventure Tour?

    +

    Around 9 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Jaco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Jaco and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beach & horses Adventure Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Jaco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Jaco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Jaco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna Waterfall, Hot Springs Combo Tour with Lunch & Dinner, Jason Crocodile Tours, Jaco Beach Costa Rica Horseback Riding. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Jaco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Jaco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
