Horseback Riding Tamarindo,Costa Rica

Although some will be disappointed, I think it's a very good thing that horses are no longer allowed on the beach. However, you'll find plenty of opportunities to ride in the hills and forests around Tamarindo.

You can go riding with Casagua Horses (tel. 653-8041), Hightide Adventures (tel. 2653-0108), Iguana Surf (tel. 2653-0148), or Papagayo Excursions (tel./fax 2653-0254). Rates for horse rental, with a guide, are around $15 to $30 (£7.50-£15) per hour.
