🐎 Don Tobias Horseback Adventure
Ride through rivers, forests, and volcano views like no other
Get ready for one of the most authentic and scenic horseback adventures in Costa Rica—right on the slopes of the Arenal Volcano.
We’ll ride for about 2.5 hours through a private farm with exclusive trails that wind through rivers, cattle pastures, rainforest, and the majestic Arenal Canyon. The route is filled with breathtaking scenery and the chance to spot wildlife along the way—howler monkeys, toucans, and more.
The highlight? A panoramic viewpoint that brings you face-to-face with the Arenal Volcano. From this spot, you’ll see the entire volcanic cone from base to summit—an epic photo opportunity!
Before or after the ride, we’ll stop at the Rancho, a rustic open-air space where you’ll be welcomed with fresh coffee, agua dulce, natural juice, and warm tortillas with farm-made cheese—a traditional Costa Rican treat made fresh every day right here.
Whether you're an experienced rider or just looking for a laid-back way to connect with nature, this is horseback riding, Costa Rican style—honest, beautiful, and unforgettable.
