Why Book a Horseback Riding Tour in Advance?
Booking ahead secures your preferred date and time, which matters most for sunset rides and during the busy dry season from roughly December to April. It also gives you a chance to ask questions — about children, experience or transportation — before the day.
Step 1: Choose Your Tour
- Sunset Horseback Riding: about 2 hours, $75 per person, late afternoon on Jacó Beach.
- Exclusive Jungle Horseback Riding: about 1 hour, $50 per person, rainforest trails beside a river.
- Waterfall Horseback Riding: about 2 hours, $75 per person, seasonal and weather-dependent.
Not sure? Pick by available time and preferred scenery, or message us for a recommendation.
Step 2: Book Online or on WhatsApp
Click a booking button to open our secure WeTravel checkout in a new tab. The Sunset and Waterfall tours share a checkout where you select your tour; the Jungle tour has its own booking page. You will see the price before paying, along with cancellation terms. Prefer to talk first? Message us on WhatsApp at +1 305-791-5707 with your date, tour and group size.
Step 3: Group and Private Requests
For larger groups, celebrations or private tours, message us on WhatsApp with the number of riders, ages of any children and your preferred date. We will let you know what is possible.
Step 4: On the Day
Arrive at Finca Samudio, 800 m from Colegio CTP (third entrance), Jacó, a little before your start time. Your guide confirms the booking, matches you with a horse and leads the tour, staying with the group throughout.
Where Tours Take Place
All tours start in Jacó, Puntarenas, and stay in the local area: Jacó Beach and the rainforest behind town. Guests from Playa Herradura and Playa Hermosa can reach us easily.

Booking Tips
Check the cancellation terms shown in the WeTravel checkout before paying. For the Waterfall tour, confirm conditions with us before booking during the green season. If your plans change, message us as early as possible. Save our WhatsApp number so you can reach us easily on the day. For a look at what happens during a ride, read how a horse tour works.
Making the Most of Your Booking
Once you have reserved, save the confirmation and our WhatsApp number in your phone. A day or two before your ride, check the weather forecast and, for sunset rides, confirm your departure time with us, since sunset shifts slightly through the year. Plan your transport to Finca Samudio in advance — a taxi or rental car both work — and allow extra time if you are coming from Playa Herradura, Playa Hermosa or farther away. On the day, eat a light meal, bring water, sunscreen and closed-toe shoes, and arrive a little early so check-in is relaxed. If anything changes, a quick message to us is the easiest way to sort it out.
