We had booked the activity. We contacted them an hour before with no response. We tried several contacts provided by them on Viator, without success. after an hour of waiting on site ( 1 hour driving from Manuel Antonio), locals people tried to call them without success. We found an old phone on their website and someone responded that the activity is canceled. We drove 2 hours + 1 hour waiting, we lost 3 hours in total for their non-communication. We asked for a refund but there were no responses. disgusting and unacceptable I want to be refunded and no longer go through Viator to book activities... our day was ruined...

Rancho Sol Horses provided us with an amazing experience horseback riding on the beach at sunset. Being there in March in low season, we had the beach basically all to ourselves. Gustavo our guide was very kind and friendly and his horses were so well behaved the ride was carefree and relaxing to enjoy the beautiful scenery and sunset. For people staying in Quepos, it is a bit of a drive (40 min) but soooo worth it! The drive back at night (around 7pm) was fine and safe.
Thank you Gustavo for the wonderful experience and memories!

Gustavo embodied the Pura Vida vibe of Costa Rica. He was welcoming, encouraging and kind. We could tell that he loved his job and his horses. It was an absolute dream to ride on the beach in Esterillos! Highly recommend this sunset ride ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent activity! Strongly recommend. The horses like to walk in the water a lot and make splashes so bring aquashoes if you can. The view is just paradise. Definitely a "pinch me" moment.

This was awesome! The beach was incredible to ride on and the horses were really well looked after and great to ride. Gustavo was an excellent guide. Very funny and kind. My daughter is an experienced rider while my son and are not. My daughter absolutely loved it as he was able to canter with her in the water while his assistant walked with my son and me. Plus he took fabulous photos of our family. Cannot say enough good things about this! Thank you Gustavo for making my daughter so happy!!!!

I had a great experience horseback riding on the beach! I was happy we went to a beach that had very few people. The horse was so kind and trained well. I felt comfortable riding him. Everything was great! I gave this four stars because of the transportation cost. Be sure to ask about this BEFORE booking. I was charged $80 for transportation. While it was a good distance away from Manual Antonio, where I was staying, I don’t think that was a reasonable amount to be charged for one person. Especially given that I caught a shuttle from the airport in San Jose to my hotel in Manual Antonio, which was 3 hours away, for $60. Nonetheless, the experience itself was great and I would recommend it. Just take care of your transportation ahead of time or own your own.

What a lovely experience! Calm chilled horses, and the sunset was stunning ! Found it hard to find , heads up go straight to Alma hotel and the horses are just down the side of it down a little dirt track . The guide was really good , took some amazing videos and pictures for us

Amazing experience from the moment of booking. I messaged the tour operator who kindly booked a taxi to collect us and return us to our hotel for a fixed price. The experience itself was amazing, lovely horses on a beautiful beach and stunning sunset, complete with a gallop in the sea. Guides were friendly and took lots of pictures for us. It really was a fabulous experience.
