Excellent horse trek up...

Excellent horse trek up steep hillside to see great views of the volcano
Very professionally run
Horses were fantastic
Breathtaking views!

We would definitely recommend this excursion! We took our 9 year old on this and she loved it! Our tour guide was Alonso and he was great! We had a small group (4) and it felt very personable! The ride was about 1.5 hours and the views at the end were breathtaking! It was a clear day when we went so you could see everything including the Arenal Volcano at the end! The trail the horses go on is on grass/dirt…little more bumpy but was still worth every minute. You go the back road to get the views. The tour is definitely worth doing!
Enjoyed the ride!

It was a great way to see the Volcano on a horse back ride. Horses were very gentle and the guides were very careful with every member of the group. They made sure that we all stayed together and had good time. Half way thru the ride that offered all of us fresh coconut water which was very refreshing. Great experience!
Must-do!

One of my favorite parts of our trip! The scenery was breathtaking. The horses were so gentle and sweet. The guides were amazing, and the whole ride was very fun!
Rip off price

The ride was nice, great views, super nice guides, safety first, But price was a rip off, Twice the price of any other rides we had in Sarapiquí, was on the border of hanging bridges, so no real jungle experience, was listed as 2.5 hours but we were back in 1.5 hours, I thought the the exorbitant price was due to an entrance fee to hanging bridge park, but when I went to do a guided tour there was no discount, after a discussion with a lovely gentleman, the receptionist gave us a 20% discount, at least they acknowledged I took the horse ride

We appreciate your comment and we would like to take the opportunity to explain why Mistico Park is one of the most visited places in La Fortuna. Our hanging bridges, regular trail, and accessible trail were created under high-quality standards. Resources are invested daily for their proper maintenance. Guaranteeing safety conditions and comfort for all our visitors.
We appreciate your visit because part of our income goes to some nonprofit organizations and also allows us to offer sources of employment for the inhabitants of La Fortuna.
Best Regards.
Great time!

Such a great experience!!! The tour guide was the best! He took photos and videos of everyone on the tour without us having to ask. I got soooo many great pics and vids. Great conversation. This experience was amazing from start to finish. My horse, abuela was great. She’s the boss of the other horses. 😂 I had such a great time! Thank you so much!!

Hello Toriann
Thank you so much for your visit and comment!. We work hard day by day to provide not only a local tour, contact to nature, and the opportunity to ride a horse; we also work hard to ensure that you´ll have a fantastic experience, with excellent customer service, from the beginning to the end.
Beautiful time with a hiccup

The guides and horseback riding were fantastic! We had an awesome time. I felt the wording was not clear in the description as we believed the tickets also included park entrance to the hanging bridges which it did not. The wording said “front entrance admission”. There is not a fee to anyone for that part so…another $27pp for the bridges. Please know though, the horseback riding part was wonderful…gorgeous views.

MUST DO in La Fortuna!

Incredible guides and such a wonderful way to see the volcano! Includes entrance to the hanging bridges park, so you can take that walk on your own, making the entire day a complete steal! Best thing we did in La Fortuna.
Response from Host , May 2021
Thank you so much for your visit, Lyssa!. The Hanging Bridges Tour is a perfect opportunity to experience the adventure of walking above the trees and discover the behaviour of a lush rainforest. The main trail is 3.2 km and passes through 6 Hanging Bridges. We also have two short cuts available for people looking not to walk so much, including an accessible trail. We hope to see you back again soon. Thanks again for your recommendation!.

Una experiencia inolvidable !! Paisajes preciosos y un detalle que nos dieron un coco a cada uno, los instructores muy simpáticos
Response from Host , Apr. 2022
Nuestro parque cuenta con diferentes puentes colgantes de diferentes alturas y distancias, desde los cuales nuestros visitantes pueden caminar muy cerca de las copas de los árboles y disfrutar de una vista inigualable del bosque tropical lluvioso.
¡Agradecemos su visita y esperamos que pueda visitarnos pronto!
