Rated the top horseback riding tour in Jacó, Costa Rica, this two-hour excursion leads riders of all skill levels through the lush jungle trails, tropical rainforest and countryside paths of an 80-acre private reserve. Trained horses and experienced bilingual guides make the ride accessible for beginners, families and couples alike, with opportunities to spot scarlet macaws, toucans and white-faced monkeys along the way. The tour concludes at a private natural pool, where guests can swim and relax before heading back.
Your planner books the slot, arranges the villa pickup and confirms the timings the day before, so nobody in the group has to organise anything on the morning. If you are travelling with children, non-swimmers or anyone who would rather sit the activity out, tell us and we build the day around it.
