Horseback Riding

Explore the surrounding area on horseback. Our horseback riding tours are ideal for all riders, and even non-riders. We take care to match the rider with the most suitable horse to ensure comfort and safety. We recommend wearing long pants and sturdy shoes for comfort. Riding helmets are available. Choose from two hour to full-day tours, all suitable for beginners and experienced riders.

 

Sunrise in the Rainforest

Take your mount as the sun rises over the forest. We will ride about 30 minutes to a rainforest. First light is an ideal time to observe a kaleidoscope of colorful birds, under a rainforest canopy of vines, palms and exotic bromeliads. You may also catch sight of a whitetail deer, coatimundi or grey fox. Brilliant butterflies and a chorus of birdsong make this the ideal start to the day. Please request for later rides.
