The best of the best!
The horses are incredible and to be able to ride them on the beach during a sunset was truly an amazing experience. Diego is the man! He guided us through and treated us to good conversation and ice cold refreshment at the beach bar and we got served while on horse back. So cool. The horses are super healthy and well cared for and well trained. Diego also really knows how to get those perfect photos and videos. This experience is a must for anyone who wants to feel the beauty and joy that life has to offer here in Costa Rica.

Sunset horseback riding
We’ve gone horseback riding before plenty of times but not like this. It was super freeing and incredible. The host was lighthearted and humorous. The horses were really nice and trained. The horses will take you on a nice trail, and if youre more comfortable on a horse, if you tell your horse to take off they will, which was the best part of the ride for me personally. But if you dont want to gallop, the horses will take you on a relaxing ride. The beach was beautiful and had some beach chairs available and it was super empty which was great! We even had a little white dog accompanying us while there! Amazing vibes!

Riding on the beach has kinda been a bucket list item of mine and besides getting rained on the adventure was marvelous
I was able to pay with my credut card where some ecperience I've had had to be cash. When I got to the event I didn't even need to show my ticket. Whuch told me the event planner was trusted.

A true Costa Rican adventure
Gustavo and his team were very well organized and kept the group safe. You could tell they care very well for their horses as they all looked beautifully groomed. We had a lovely ride down the beach and on the way back we caught the most amazing sunset I have ever seen. I highly recommend this experience. It is money well spent.

The most surreal sunset horse riding experience
Amazing experience. We ended up being just the two of us on the tour. The horses were well cared for. Gustavo was excellent and informative. We spend an hour and a half riding the horses on the beach and watching the sunset. The guide took lots of amazing pictures for us.

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sunset & Horses: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaco.
How much does Sunset & Horses cost?
+
Prices start at $67 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 Sunset & Horses take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Sunset & Horses worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 50 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 Sunset & Horses?
+
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 Sunset & Horses suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sunset & Horses?
+
Around 18 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sunset & Horses 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.
