Our Horses, Our Family
At our horseback riding tours in Esterillos Este, Costa Rica, the horses come first. Unlike many tour operators in the area, we believe that well-cared-for horses make for the best riding experience. Our animals are healthy, well-fed, and loved, which means theyâre not only beautiful to look at but also gentle, calm, and a joy to ride.
When you join us for horseback riding on the beach near Jaco and Manuel Antonio, youâll notice the difference right away. Our horses shine with health, their coats glossy under the Costa Rican sun, and their temperaments relaxed. Whether youâre an experienced rider or itâs your very first time, you can feel confident knowing youâre riding an animal thatâs truly respected and cared for.
This commitment to our horses is what makes our tours unforgettable. Itâs not just about a rideâitâs about connection, compassion, and experiencing the stunning Costa Rica beaches and wildlife alongside happy, thriving horses.

EXCELLENT Based on 306 reviews Bert Fernandez2025-08-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My daughters did this and they loved it. It was beautiful walking the horse's on the beach. The woman who runs this loves her animals and that alone made us feel good.

Wow, my three oldest kids and I (ages 11, 9, and 7) just experienced a transcendent morning with Sylwiaâand with Bastian, Nestor, Rocio, and Kiki. Could not recommend this experience more for anyone lucky enough to be in the area. Sylwia could not have been kinder and more knowledgeable about horses, the area, and so many other topics we discussed during our hour-plus ride. The scenery to and from and especially along the beach was just ⌠unmatched. This is maybe the best 90m experience weâve had in Costa Rica! We wish only that it would never have ended⌠gracias para todo, Sylwia. Your horses and you are so well matched and lucky to have each other. Gracias para siempre!

We were a group of 5 with 2 adults, 10, 9 year old and 5 year old! My 5 year old was on her own horse and I had a rope to hang on to her horse. My 5 year old loves riding, but it was a bit hot for her so I recommend more for older kids. We got to see a sloth and ride along the beach. It was fantastic and I would do again. I recommend sunscreen and bug spray. Sylvia took some pictures of our group and sent them to us. She was super kind and the horses were well cared for.

As a longtime horse enthusiast it is incredibly important to me that the animals be in good, sound condition and well cared for. I was very pleased with the condition of Sylwia's horses and the efforts made to ensure both horse and rider were safe and comfortable. It was clear that her horses were well feed, cared for, had good fitting and humane tack and were not stressed. Sylwia made sure to capture great photos/videos of our ride. My friend, daughter and I enjoyed a lovely ride on the beach and would be happy to book with CR Beach Barn during our next trip to Costa Rica!

We were so excited to find a barn where we could ride horses on the beach and feel comfortable at the same time. We have some previous riding experience and were happy to see how well Sylwia cares for her beautiful horses. All of them have a great personalities and were wonderful to ride. We loved it so much that we came back for a second ride with CR Beach Barn :) Sienna Brigance2025-07-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing ride!

Long ride along the beach, short ride through the forest so be careful of mosquitoes. Jeffrey Houir2025-06-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We hand an amazing experience, Iâm so glad that we added this activity to our list, our guide was wonderful and the horses are so sweet Hogan Courrier2025-06-05Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is the epitome of horseback riding. Sylvia is so passionate for her animals. They are so well taken care of and so well trained. It just stands to the dedication of her character. She is an absolutely amazing tour guide, very friendly, and of course very beautiful. Her dedication to her craft is astounding and a pleasure to witness. Even after our ride she took the time out of her busy schedule to show us the sloths that live in the tree on her property. She also pointed out an advised us on a bunch of local species of animals and birds. This girl knows her stuff. This was my second visit and it was better than the first. And it certainly will not be my last visit. annum jamal2025-06-02Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an incredible ride with Sylvia!
