Welcome to an adventure on horseback to one of the most natural and surprising features of Costa Rica: Arenal Volcano. Witness this natural scenery throughout the route planned by Don Tobias, renowned horse trainer from this region. The tour, which is carried out 100% on horseback, begins in the modern stables of Don Tobias’ farm. There, a professional team of guides prepares visitors with pertinent information. Child-sized equipment is also available. Nearly all of the tour takes place on private lands, crossing through second generation forest and primary forest, as well as beautiful pastures, some of which were used for cattle, and, of course, visitors will see the magnificent Arenal Volcano that accompanies visitors throughout the trip. The ride, which lasts approximately 3 hours, begins heading toward Arenal Volcano, via the old roads that Don Tobias used to use, and climbing up secondary forest lands and cattle pastures, as well as through an area of primary forest, that takes visitors to a beautiful lake, named Water Lily Lake, where our horses refresh themselves. From there, the high point of the trip and the principal destination is the lookout point, where visitors dismount from the as close to Arenal Volcano as is permitted. After enjoying this beautiful view, we will return to the horses to continue the descent down the mountain. Don Tobias’ Horseback Tour is unique and original, and you are cordially invited to this, the best horseback ride in Costa Rica. Enjoy this equine adventure fully and observe the majestic and grand Arenal Volcano.
