Professionally Guided Horseback Riding Adventures
Welcome to the enchanting world of Costa Rica.
The Best of Costa Rica
Hola, I'm Enrique Molina, the proud owner of Arenal Horseback Tours. With over 20 years of experience as a professional naturalist guide, I invite you to immerse yourself in the wonders of Costa Rica as I unveil its hidden off-the-beaten-path gems.
My passion for horsemanship brings a unique touch to your adventure. I practice relationship-based techniques that foster a deep connection with our horses. Riding through picturesque trails, you'll witness the beauty of nature from a whole new perspective, creating unforgettable memories along the way.

Our genuine hospitality and local insights ensure that your experience goes beyond the ordinary, leaving you with a profound appreciation for Costa Rican culture and its breathtaking landscapes.

Together, we are your trusted "go-to guys," ensuring you make the most of your time in Costa Rica by crafting an itinerary that suits your interests and desires. Your dream journey awaits!

Experience the thrill of riding along meandering trails beneath a canopy of ancient trees teeming with life. As your guide, I will lead you through hidden pathways, revealing the secrets of the rainforest's rich biodiversity and captivating wildlife.
Our Philosophy
Relationship Based Horsemanship
Before you get on your horse, I will support you in forging a deep connection with your majestic equine companion.
Whether you're an experienced rider or a novice seeking an adventure of a lifetime, my horseback riding tours are tailored to all levels of equestrian enthusiasts.
My well-trained horses and I, as your expert guide, ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Cultural Immersion
I invite you to discover the heart and soul of local communities as we step off the beaten path and into the authentic tapestry of traditions and customs.
My carefully crafted experiences take you beyond the tourist hubs, where you'll find hidden gems nestled in the arms of nature.
Immerse yourself in the daily lives of welcoming Ticos, share stories over traditional meals, and engage in time-honored practices passed down through generations.
Appreciate Earth's Ecosystems
Welcome to the rainforest. I believe in the Gaia Theory, which proposes that Earth is a living, self-regulating organism, where all living organisms and their physical environment are intricately interconnected to maintain a delicate balance.
Costa Rica accounts for only 0.03 percent of the Earth's surface (it has only 51.100 km2). However, it contains nearly 6 percent of the world's biodiversity.
Off the Beaten Path
Embark on a voyage of authenticity, exploration, and self-discovery.
Join me and my horse partners in venturing beyond the conventional and discovering the true essence of travel – where the most extraordinary experiences lie outside of the typical.
"Travel leaves you speechless - Then turns you into a storyteller."

Happy Horses
My horses live a natural life grazing in lush pastures in the foothills below the stunning Arenal Volcano. Costa Rica’s horse, the Criollo, is well known for its smooth gait, surefootedness, and willing spirit. The Criollo is a blend of several Spanish breeds and the Peruvian stepping horses.
The previous steward of the herd, Deborah Draves Legg, mixed a bit of American Quarter Horse genetics into some of the herd, resulting in a larger horse able to carry a heavier load.
