Samara Horseback Riding: Mountain & Ocean Views
Ride into the hills above Samara for sweeping views of Samara and Buena Vista beaches and the open Pacific. A scenic horseback tour for nature and landscape lovers.
Swap the beach for the saddle on this scenic horseback ride through the hills behind Samara. The route climbs through tropical dry forest and countryside to high viewpoints between the mountain peaks, where the coastline opens up below you.
From the top you'll look out over the beaches of Samara and Buena Vista and the endless blue of the Pacific Ocean, one of the best panoramas on the Nicoya Peninsula. Along the way your guide points out local wildlife and shares stories about life in rural Guanacaste.
Horses are calm and well cared for, and the pace is set for riders of all levels.
