Embark on our extended Playa Sámara, Buena Vista & Local Viewpoint Horseback Riding Tour and discover the true essence of Costa Rica’s Pacific coast. From the moment you meet our friendly, well-trained horses on the soft sands of Sámara Beach, you’ll feel the relaxed Pura Vida spirit that defines Guanacaste. Your bilingual guide will lead you through winding dry-forest trails, pointing out endemic birds, howler monkeys, and the towering Guanacaste trees that give the region its name.

As you ascend toward the Buena Vista Viewpoint, breathe in the scent of wild orchids and listen to the breeze rustle through the canopy. At the summit, pause for a panoramic vista of Sámara Bay’s turquoise waters meeting the horizon—an ideal spot for photos and to learn about local ecology from your guide. Then, descend to the untouched stretch of Buena Vista Beach, where you can trot along the shoreline with waves gently lapping at your feet and feel the warm Costa Rican sun on your skin.

This tour is designed for riders of all levels: whether you’re a seasoned equestrian or it’s your first saddle, each horse is carefully matched to your comfort and ability. Along the way, enjoy light snacks and refreshing bottled water as you connect with nature, embracing the harmonious blend of land and sea. By the time you return to Sámara Beach, you’ll have created lasting memories of this serene seaside adventure and gained a deeper appreciation for Guanacaste’s coastal beauty.
