HORSEBACK RIDING
Overview
Climb aboard your trusty steed and experience the area by horseback. Choose from 2 different tours, suitable for all ages:
OPTION #1 – One-Hour Jungle and Ocean View – Departing from Playa Ocotal, you’ll ride the mountain ridgeline to see a stunning view of the whole Papagayo Bay with wildlife and monkeys often sighted, for approximately 1 hour. Great for younger kids to ride with a parent. $75USD/pp
OPTION #2 – Two-Hour Beach & Jungle Ride – Departing from Playa Ocotal, you’ll ride the mountain ridgeline to see a stunning view of the whole Papagayo Bay, then through the jungle to ride on the beach with wildlife and monkeys usually sighted. Splash in the waves with your horse if you wish. This is our most popular ride. $100USD/pp
You can also add on a beach lunch or interactive Farm Tour. CONTACT US for details!
