One of our favourite excursions! David was so great and accommodating.
We rode with the horses down some very steep and muddy tracks but we never felt unsafe and the horses were excellent. We stopped at a fun Tarzan swing and then visited a water hole for a swim (remember your water shoes as the rocks/bolders were very slippy) we spent about 30mins here and did not feel rushed at all. The guide truly enjoyed being there and wanted us to all enjoy the tour.
We rode back to the start and David asked if we wanted to ride for a little longer so we carried on in another direction and had a great view over the valley before turning back.
Seriously this was one of our best excursions, a great 2-3hrs spent (i had never ridden a horse before either!).

I can not say enough amazing things about this tour! It was the best bang for our buck while visiting Costa Rica! David was Amazing and had such a sweet Personality that truly made the experience! The water is really as blue as it looks in the pictures and it was so relaxing to swim in! My only thing was that it is quite a drive if you are staying near La Fortuna and the roads on the way were incredibly rocky and rough.

David showed us a great time. His horses were so sweet and well behaved. We took a tour with three adults and two children and he was able to manage us all so effortlessly. You could tell the horses were well taken care of. The ride to Rio Celeste was the perfect length of time. David let us swim and take our time in the water, which was phenomenal. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to experience Rio Celeste by horse bike. Thank you for showing us a wonderful time, David!

We are a family of 5: 2 adults and 3 boys (7, 9, and 11 y/o). For me and my 7 y/o son, it was our first time doing horseback riding and it went great for everyone! David was very caring to make sure everyone was safe and receiving the most from this experience. We rode horses for some time, then made a stop at the giant swing that was a lot of fun for everyone. After that, we continued our ride to Rio Celeste. We had enough time to swim there. There is a place to change. Also, there is a tire connected by rope to the tree - my youngest one used it. David brought a delicious pineapple to snack and then we fed horses with peel.
PS. We had lunch at the Tilapia restaurant (not 100% sure about the name), near the place we started our tour. They have fresh tilapia, delicious beef nachos, and fresh juices. Kids did a boat ride while we waited for food.

We are a family of 2 adults and 4 children aged between 12-16. We stopped at Rio Celeste after our stay in La Fortuna. We did the usual adrenaline things in Fortuna and then booked horse riding with David in Rio Celeste. This was the best decision of our whole trip. This is where we discovered the true beauty of Costa Rica. David’s place is a little piece of Heaven, absolutely stunning. David took us on a horse ride down to the beautiful river where we swam in the blue waters, it’s actually as blue as all the pictures, just stunning. We then had fresh fruit before riding back. We then had a delicious lunch which was very reasonably priced in the gorgeous surroundings. If there’s one thing you do in Costa Rica… do this trip. David was so friendly, professional and went out of his way to make sure everyone had the best experience. It’s a day I will remember forever.

When we arrived at the property I was delighted to find birds everywhere - they were beautiful - tanagers, toucans, and an ibis . . . I could have walked the grounds all day!
The horses were extremely well-behaved and trained. They matched my 7 and 9 year old up with the perfect size horses. We loved the horse ride, the stop at the massive, super-fun swing, the dip in the gorgeous blue river. It was paradise. David and his brother were amazing hosts - if I ever go back to Costa Rica I am renting a cabin on this property and doing the tour again. My entire family agrees this was our favorite experience during our entire vacation!

One of our favorite excursions! David was so great and accommodating. Beautiful swimming hole, fun Tarzan swing, and fresh watermelon. We spent like 45 minutes at the swimming hole and did not feel rushed at all. The guide truly enjoyed being there and wanted us to all enjoy the tour. The restaurant had probably the best food we ate the entire trip! Seriously, the best excursion, best food, and best experience!

The horseback riding was a great reprieve from hiking and getting to swim in Rio Celeste was a wonderful experience. David was a perfect guide. My partner said this was his favorite tour we did in our 2 weeks in Costa Rica!
