    The effort is well worth the views

    Everyone here is incredibly nice. The horses were gentle and the scenery is absolutely beautiful! The horses take you to the area above the waterfall. You have to hike down a winding set of natural steps to reach the waterfall. It’s enough of a hike to remind me how out of shape I am. The hike is well worth the view. The hike back up to the horses is unkind to old knees but definitely doable. The tour then takes a quick 5 minute horseback ride to the spring fed natural pools that feed the waterfall. The swim is cold and refreshing and your legs definitely appreciate it. From there the horses take you back to the original meeting place. I can’t say enough about how happy we were with our guide, the horses or the overall experience. How our guide is capable of doing this multiple times per day is impressive. Bring extra water and your camera! Pura Vida!

    Horseback riding at the falls with kids

    We had a great time on the horseback riding tour. It was about 45 min to a very rigorous about half mile hike to the waterfall. We took some pics and then hiked back. It would have been nice to go in the water then, but the waterfall was too dangerous. The hike back was pretty uphill but after the hike, we got on the horses for a short ride to some relaxing pools off the waterfall where we went swimming and jumped into the water. The kids loved it. We then took the horses back to the starting place. The person organizing the trip, Alexander, was great and arranged a lunch for us in the local town. Overall, it was a great experience. Our kids were 9, 12 and 14 and they all had a wonderful time. The horses were very sweet with the kids. My daughter absolutely loved her horse, Pepe.

    Response from the operator: Hello, thank you very much for your comment; it was a pleasure for us to host you.

    The guides were friendly....

    The guides were friendly. Had a great time on the horses and the of course the hike down to the water fall was great! (It would be considered difficult) we wore chacos and Tevas and did well. The natural pool was the high light. Had fun cliff jumping and was nice to cool off.

    Response from the operator: Gracias que bueno que la pasasteis de lo mejor

    AMAZING Time Swimming & Horseback Riding

    Overall, the tour was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I truly can’t express how friendly everyone was. We booked this tour through L.A. who is a part of the Costa Rica Tour Office. She is incredible and was always there when we needed her or had questions. The horseback riding tour was so great. There was a guide that went with us the entire time and it was a private tour which just our family. We did a 40 minute horseback ride to a great spot for photos and to take in the views and then did a 40 minute hike that brought us even closer to the huge and beautiful waterfall. Then, we hopped back on the horses and stopped at a waterfall “pool” where we jumped off of the rocks and swam to cool off. It was perfect and stunning. Then we went on the horses to get back to the stables and then went to lunch. Alex was amazing and our guide was fantastic as well. Highly recommend. Great time.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your recommendation, it was a pleasure for us.

    Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall cost?

    +

    Prices start at $95 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 Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours 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 Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Jaco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall?

    +

    Around 5 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall 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.

    What is included in Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall?

    +

    Included: Guides; and Trail Map. Not included: TIPS. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall?

    +

    Bijagual Waterfall 1 Kilometro De Jardine Pura Vida, Bijagual 11605 Costa Rica Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall?

    +

    Is Horseback Riding in Bijagual Waterfall wheelchair or stroller accessible?
