Rancho La Merced /

The Sunset Beach ride was incredible. We have been to several horseback rides in different countries traveled and this place was by far our favorite. The facilities were impressive upon arrival, then the team was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The horses were all in great condition, well fed and well taken care of. These people truly care about the animals not just making profit which was big for us. The tour takes you through their 100+ acre farm out to the beach where you’ll get more than you fair amount of time riding up and down the beach. As avid riders, they brought some of us away from the rest of the pack to fully gallop as much as we wanted multiple times while rest of group who were more beginners had a fun time continuing at a walk. They stopped the group and took many photos of the different parties on the beach. Again, was the best horseback riding experience we have had and can’t wait to come back on our next trip.

We had an amazing time! The guides were awesome, the horses were in great condition and the barn environment was clean and well cared for. For 3 advanced riders we were all pleasantly surprised at how much we enjoyed the entire ride from walking through their farm land to galloping on the beach while they kept the beginner riders safely together as well. Highly recommend!!

We have been many times and always love it! Edgar has been our guide the last couple times and he is so great at taking care that everyone has a great trip. He was especially careful to watch my wife and mother as they are a little nervous with horses. They had one of the best experiences of their lives and can’t stop talking about how perfect everything was!

Such an amazing horseback riding experience. As my first time riding a horse without any help lol I was a bit scared but Ivan & Edgar were so nice and helpful to help me feel comfortable safe during the ride. 100% recommend this experience to anyone who is considering doing a horseback riding tour. The views were so beautiful and the trail was so nice! Thank you to the team!! 🐎🐴

We had an unforgettable experience on the beach and forest horseback ride! From start to finish, everything was so thoughtfully organized. The horses were incredibly gentle and well cared for—perfect for our 8-year-old, who felt confident and safe the entire time. Our guide was absolutely amazing—knowledgeable, patient, and so kind, making sure everyone was comfortable and having fun. Riding through the forest and along the beach was magical, and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our trip. Highly recommend to families and anyone looking for a unique, peaceful adventure.

We did the sunset ride and it was amazing! Edgar was so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful and funny! We aren't experienced riders, but the horses were great! Honestly, I lucked out and had the BEST horse in the group, at least the best for ME to ride. I'd love to ride her again! Thanks, Edgar and Lola!

Great experience here. We had a blast as a family taking a ride on horses on the beautiful CR beaches. Highly recommend.

We loved our ride to the beach!! We were lucky and got a sunset beach ride with no rain. Edgar was amazing. He was knowledgeable about the ranch, and the horses. He showed us lots of different birds, animals and plants. They did a really great job at matching us up with the right horses. I own a horse and ride a lot back home, so they gave me a more advanced horse that loved to gallop on the beach. My husband is a lot less experienced and he got a chill horse that didn’t mind walking behind us while we ran. The horses were all very well taken care of and seemed to really enjoy their job. Thank you so much!!
