Puerto Viejo: Private Ethical Horseback Ride & Spa Massage｜Costa Rica

Discover one of Costa Rica’s most exclusive 100% private ethical horseback riding experiences, created for honeymooners, couples, friends, families and anyone seeking the perfect balance of adventure, romance, relaxation and authentic connection with nature.

Your journey begins in Cocles and follows a unique combination of Caribbean beaches and lush tropical rainforest. Every ride is different, adapting naturally to weather, tides, trail conditions and the riding ability of each guest. Depending on these conditions, your adventure may explore Cocles Beach, Punta Cocles, Playa Escondida, the Natural Pools, Playa Chiquita and Punta Uva, offering an authentic experience shaped by nature itself.

More than a horseback ride, this is an opportunity to experience Costa Rica from the saddle, creating a unique connection with your horse while discovering landscapes impossible to appreciate in the same way on foot. Riding becomes a peaceful dialogue between horse, rider and nature, whether you seek adventure, romance or quiet relaxation.

The South Caribbean is one of Costa Rica’s richest ecosystems. Along the way you may encounter sloths, howler and capuchin monkeys, iguanas, toucans, green macaws, butterflies and many other tropical species living freely in their natural habitat. Wildlife sightings are never staged or guaranteed, making every encounter genuine and unique.

If you enjoy learning, your local guide will gladly share insights into rainforest ecology, wildlife, tropical vegetation, Caribbean culture and horse behaviour. If you prefer to simply disconnect, the experience naturally becomes a peaceful ride immersed in the sounds of the rainforest and the Caribbean Sea.

At Caribe Horse, horses are at the heart of everything we do. Many have been rescued from neglect or abuse and now enjoy lifelong care, respect and freedom. Our guides combine more than 40 years of horsemanship with certified European and North American equestrian education, ensuring the highest standards of safety, horse welfare and responsible tourism.

After your 100% private 2.5-hour beach and rainforest ride, continue your experience with a 60-minute professional relaxing massage at one of the South Caribbean’s premier wellness centers, carefully selected to complement the harmony created during your ride.

Located in the heart of a tropical rainforest, our tours operate rain or shine. Rain is part of this extraordinary ecosystem and often adds even more magic to the experience.

Whether you are celebrating a honeymoon, an anniversary, a special occasion or simply looking to reconnect with nature, your horse and the people you love, Ride & Relax offers an unforgettable combination of ethical horseback riding, wellness and the authentic spirit of Costa Rica.

By joining this experience, you directly support the rescue, rehabilitation and lifelong care of horses saved from neglect and abuse.
