Best experience
Our family with 2 kids had an amazing experience horseback riding, sailing and other activities that were all coordinated by Dani. This was our first time in Costa Rica and Dani provided us all the valuable service making sure we had the best experience. We will definitely be using the same service to explore more.

Great tour hosts!
These guys are the BEST. They set up several of our excursions and everything went smoothly and as planned. They had great communication via the app and what’s app. We will using them for ALL of our plans next time we visit Costa Rica.

We had wonderful time! At...
We had wonderful time! At first we were a little concerned that it might be too hot (our ride started at 11am), but our guides were very caring and took us in shaded areas. The ride was just beautiful both ways, and we all agreed that we would definitely do it again. Yes, I recommend it!

Mellow Horseback Riding Experience
This was a 2 hour private horseback riding trip along the beach and surrounding areas. The scenery was beautiful. However our guide wasn’t much of a “tour guide”. He pointed out a couple of places but otherwise barely spoke to us. So, if you are interested in a mellow 2 hour ride, this is for you. If you are looking for a more engaging tour, then I would look elsewhere. There are horseback riding opportunities all along Conchal Beach (which I didn’t know beforehand), so you don’t really need to book in advance and can comparison shop based on the guide by just walking along that beach.

Must Do
The view was amazing, the guides were friendly, and the horses were calm. White sand beaches from horseback? Yes!!! Cannot recommend enough.

Private Horseback Riding On The Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Flamingo.
How much does Private Horseback Riding On The Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Flamingo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Horseback Riding On The Beach take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Playa Flamingo is not rushed.
Is Private Horseback Riding On The Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Flamingo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Horseback Riding On The Beach?
+
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 Private Horseback Riding On The Beach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Horseback Riding On The Beach?
+
Around 3 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 Playa Flamingo 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 Playa Flamingo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Horseback Riding On The Beach 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 Playa Flamingo 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 Playa Flamingo?
+
On Outty we rank every Playa Flamingo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure, Playa Flamingo Catamaran Tour with Snorkel, Lunch, Cocktails, Tamarindo: Snorkel and Sunset Catamaran Cruise with Lunch, Drinks. 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 Playa Flamingo?
+
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 Playa Flamingo?
+
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.

+
Included: Tour Guide / Horse & Equipment. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private Horseback Riding On The Beach?
+

What languages is Private Horseback Riding On The Beach offered in?
+
