Swim with your horse in the Pacific Ocean on one of the most unforgettable horseback riding tours in Costa Rica. Your 2-hour adventure begins on shaded jungle trails through a private ranch near Playa Conchal, where howler monkeys, coatis, iguanas and tropical birds live in the trees, passing waterfalls and natural springs along the way. Then the jungle opens onto the white seashell sand of Playa Conchal and Playa Puerto Viejo, two of the most beautiful beaches in Guanacaste.
This is where the magic happens. You ride straight into the warm, turquoise water and swim with your horse in the ocean, an experience very few horseback tours near Tamarindo offer. Confident riders can canter along the shoreline, while beginners ride at a relaxed pace on calm, ocean-loving horses matched to their level by a knowledgeable local guide.
Perfect for couples, families and first-time riders. Kids 5 and up ride on their own, and younger children ride with an adult or guide. Just 25 minutes from Tamarindo and 20 minutes from Flamingo, it's the beach and jungle horseback ride you'll be talking about long after your trip.

Ohana Rental & Tours was super helpful in getting us to see the arribada. This turtle tour experience was unlike any other I’ve ever seen. The staff was helpful and helped us see thousands of turtles. Highly recommend this tour.

Thank you so much, Harrison! 🐢 We're so stoked we could get you out to witness the arribada. Seeing thousands of sea turtles come ashore to nest is one of the most unforgettable experiences in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.

Great experience and quick delivery to playa grande. Sam’s customer service was super attentive and understanding. I had to extend my reservation by an extra day and he was able to handle it on the spot. Thanks again! Will rent again
