★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 845 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $187Our pick

Review of Maui’s 3.5-hour horseback tour through West Maui valleys and ocean views, with guide-matched horses, cantering, photos, and petting zoo.

“We signed up for the horseback tour but they were short a tour guide so we were given a chance to do an ATV tour. We had never ridden ATVs (my daughter and I. She is 25 I am 57). We were nervous, but there was no need to be. The guides took us on a test drive and were guiding us the whole way. We agreed this was such a fun way to spend our day!! Only warning is there was a lot of dust and dirt all over us afterwards. But it made our Maui trip so special to ride mountain trails, see sacred grounds and waterfalls nearby…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 127 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $94

Review of Arenal horseback riding to La Fortuna Waterfall, with route details, fitness advice, horse safety, pricing, and booking tips.

“The entire ride is on the road to the top, shared with tractors taking zip liners up to the top. My wife got kicked in the foot by another horse and has a nice bruise this morning. We were really hoping for a walk through nature or the farm. The walk to the waterfall and the waterfall itself was very pretty. That made the trip worth it. But quicker ways to see it are available.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 38 reviews · from $130

Climb Dunn’s River Falls and ride horseback into the sea on a small-group Ocho Rios tour with hotel pickup for $130.

“The driver was good, Dunn's river was nice except all the vendors you have to walk through to leave. They're all selling the same stuff and asking you to look or trying to bait you with a free gift. The horseback riding was very disappointing. I've never been on a horseback riding tour where they walk your horse the entire time. We had to walk on the busy road/highway due to the trail to the beach being muddy. The beach was so littered that I worried the horses may step on one of the cans. The horses knew the way so this is a trail they often use. The guide…”
