For me it's important that the horses I ride are being well kept, and after many years of experience with horses i know how a well kept and not so well kept horse looks like. With Annies horses there is no doubt. Healthy, happy, well trained and well kept horses with a owner who understands her animals. Aldo Annie is a super cool and easy going woman. We had a nice ride both in jungle and on the beach. Annie also showed us some wildlife we randomly came over, such as monkeys, butterflies and a sloth. Unfortunately there were too much waves and high tides for gallop in the sand, maybe something to consider if possible. Obviously this is out of Annies hands, and everything else was perfect :-)

My husband and I booked a ride with Playa Chiquita Riding Adventures for our honeymoon. Let me say it was a big highlight if our trip! Our guide was super friendly and helpful, and spoke perfect English (she's from Canada!). She even picked us up from the Jaguar Rescue Centre which we visited just before our ride, rather than us trying to describe where we were going to a taxi driver. The ride was a beautiful blend of riding through jungle and white sand beaches. Highly recommend!

Annie is a wonderful guide who understands her horses and her riders. We enjoyed a terrific adventure in a most beautiful place along Chiquita beach. We recommend her without pause!

First off, I loved that this was a private tour with just me and my boyfriend. It allowed us to go at our skill level, as well as appreciate the ride more. The ride itself was amazing, through both jungle trails and the beach. We even got a little wet as the waves came in. Our guide was nice enough to take some pictures of us as well to capture the moment. She was very attentive. Great experience for the price. Highly recommend doing this!

My boyfriend and I decided to do this based on a recommendation from a friend. Bruce was in the states, but the people he works with (Dan, Juliette, and Tamie) were so incredibly wonderful. We decided to both the kayaking trip as well as the horseback riding - both experiences were absolutely worth it. There had been a lot of storms before we came so there was some interesting navigating on the horses, but it made for a fun adventure. The kayaking was my favorite, particularly going down the calm river off of Playa Uva. The team at Playa Chiquita were so wonderful to chat with and get to know. We spent pretty much the whole day with them and it was easily our favorite day on our Costa Rica trip. This is absolutely worth what you will spend!

Bruce was an amazing instructor. His primary concern was to give the most awesome experience, by venturing through beautiful beaches and scenic areas while telling interesting stories to make it all come real. Loved his energy and would always come back time and time again to re- experience the most wonderful day ever!!! Thank you so much Bruce...you are awesome!

We made a beach trip with Bruce and his partner. Both great people, with fantastic stories. For us it was a priceless experience. Best way to see and feel the country. Great horses with spirit. Also for not experienced riders.

What a great time my grandson and I had today riding with Bruce at Playa Chiquita Riding Adventures. I have to reiterate what a lot of folks before me said, Bruce is an awesome guide. The horses were great too, I hadn't ridden since the 80's, but with Bruce's help, it was easy, he really has a way with his horses and my grandson and I felt like we were in good hands the whole time. I'd recommend him to anyone and would ride again and again.
