The waterfalls are beautiful and the tour guides make it extra fun with their encouragement to jump off from the rocks and their daredevil dives! Both breakfast and lunch were delicious and served in the open air next to macaws, toucans and peacocks.

I have never been on a horse, and was pretty hesitant to go. My friend made me, and told them that I had experience when she booked. I was freaked, but the horses are so well behaved. I just trotted along and enjoyed the scenery, and my friends that wanted to speed off did just that. The horses are trained... More

My husband and I are not horse people at all, but we heard so many positive things about this trip that we had to go. The wranglers were friendly and helpful. The food was tasty. Our horses were appropriate to our riding levels. The swim at the waterfalls was refreshing. We particularly enjoyed climbing up the waterfall and jumping off... More

This tour started around 8:15 am and lasted until after 1:30. We started with a horseback ride through the rainforest until you reach a cute house for breakfast. Fruit, breads and juice with monkeys in the trees then you depart on the horses for the waterfall. Once at Nauyaca swim, jump and enjoy the view for at least an hour... More

Starts at 8. Staff efficient and friendly. Spectacular views. None of our group is riders, they accomodated us well, even changing my wife's horse for one less spirited. Time at the waterfall was enjoyable, scenery spectacular. Changing facility there. Breakfast/coffee break on way up and lunch on way back. Breaks up the horseback riding before it gets too painful. Next... More

This tour really worth it! I was concerned by the horseback riding, since I've never done it before, but it ended being the best experience in Costa Rica! The horses are well maintained and well behaved, the stuff is young and fun. The waterfall is beautiful and the tour guides make it extra fun with their encouragement to jump off... More

We did this trip with family aged 5 to 66. Everyone had the best time. This is a family owned and run operation and they really know what they are doing. Each person got an appropriate horse for their age and experience. It was a beautiful ride to the waterfall and a great swim. The whole time the guides were... More

My 12 year old son and I truly enjoyed our ride on these well-fed and handled horses throughbeatiful trees and pasture. The falls are fantastic and the water is completely refreshing and clear as a bell. One grey horse was punky and did manage to lose his rider while in a snit with another horse but she was not experienced... More
