Sweet horses, gorgeous waterfall. It was raining quite hard at times , as it does so often here in Costa Rica, but it didn’t stop us from having a terrific time on this tour
Response from Host , Mar. 2022
That is the adventure spirit. Thank you so much David for this wonderful review. We are so glad you made us part of your Costa Rica memories joining our horseback riding experience. We hope you will return soon and get to experience any of other fabulous adventure combos. La Fortuna invites to keep exploring. Thank you & Pura Vida!

Rode horses up for 30 minutes to the top of the steps to go down to the waterfall. It's about 400 steps. The horses were well behaved. The guide was very friendly. He went down to the waterfall with us and stayed with our bag while we went into the waterfall pool and did waterfall pictures. Even in the rain it was good tour.

Excellent time. I have been riding for many years and these horses were well behaved and well kept. The guide was also very knowledgeable about his botany. We were lucky enough to see howler monkeys and a hawk on our ride and hike. The trek down to the waterfall is steep but well worth it. I would recommend bring a small bag with water a snack and a camera. They provide fresh fruit after tour, but would definitely recommend having breakfast first and snack if you get hungry easily. I thought they were providing lunch and I was famished by the end of the ride. Our guide Paz was interactive and hilarious. Definitely would do this trip again.
Best excursion in Costa Rica thus far

Great Day

Just beware, the hike is rigorous! You don’t ride the horses to the waterfall, there is a hike down and up. That being said, it was a wonderful experience. Our guide Carlos was pleasant company, had interesting and informative things to say about things alingbthe way. Our group was small. The horses are typical service animals, not flashy or pet like. Carlosntreated them with kindness which made us feel good. The waterfall (Fortuna) and swim refreshed and invigorated us while also amazing us. Worth the price and a good day.
Amazing!

The whole experience was great ! They pick you up from the hotel and take you to the place where the horse riding begins. The guide was excellent! Waterfall and hike were breathtaking . You have to be fit enough to hike up the last stretch to the waterfall.

tourist trap

, Aug. 2018
A pity.The horses are injured and should be at rest.You just ride 45 minutes on a rocky way to reach the place to walk to the waterfall La Fortuna.There you have to go down the stairs ( slope of 600 meter) to reach a hole where you have 100 people bathing in a rapid river, you make a short halt and after go up the stairs.On the way back, you stop in a tourist gift shop presented as a village of natives???A real tourist trap.Buy a picture of the waterfall it is cheaper and less exhausting

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
