Half Day Horseback Riding Tour Costa Rica

Half-Day Horseback Riding Tour Costa Rica is a 3.5-hour ethical horseback riding adventure designed for those who want to explore more of the breathtaking South Caribbean coastline of Puerto Viejo. Starting from our stables in Playa Cocles, this unforgettable Beach & Jungle Horseback Riding Tour follows scenic coastal trails where pristine Caribbean beaches meet lush tropical rainforest, offering one of the most spectacular horseback riding experiences in Costa Rica.

After meeting your horse at Caribe Horse, you’ll ride along the beautiful beaches of Playa Cocles, continue through the coastal rainforest to Piscinas Naturales, Punta Cocles, Playa Escondida, Playa Chiquita and Punta Uva. Depending on the pace of the group, beach conditions and the riders’ experience, the adventure may continue as far as Playa Arrecife and Playa Grande, allowing you to discover even more of this extraordinary coastline.

During the tour, a relaxing refreshment stop is usually enjoyed at Punta Uva or Playa Arrecife, with the location chosen according to the day’s conditions and the group’s progress. Throughout the ride, you’ll have opportunities to observe sloths, monkeys, toucans, macaws, iguanas and many other native species that inhabit the rainforest stretching alongside the Caribbean coast.

Unlike conventional horseback riding tours, our Half-Day Horseback Riding Tour Costa Rica is built around ethical tourism and horse welfare. Every horse at Caribe Horse has been rescued from neglect or mistreatment and is carefully matched to each rider according to experience and confidence, creating a safe, relaxed and rewarding experience for both horse and rider.

This tour covers a significantly greater distance than our Beach & Jungle Horseback Riding Tour and is recommended for guests with previous riding experience or for active people who regularly enjoy outdoor activities and have a good level of physical fitness. Children are welcome when they meet the recommended minimum age and riding requirements for this experience.

Whether you’re looking for spectacular Caribbean scenery, abundant wildlife or an authentic ethical horseback riding experience, our Half-Day Horseback Riding Tour Costa Rica offers the perfect combination of adventure, nature and responsible tourism in Puerto Viejo.
