Costa Rica ATV Adventure
One hour on the forest and hillside trails by quad, from $70, for riders 16 and older.
Tour · 1 hour
Ride 100+ acres of private trails from the dry forest to the Pacific, guided the whole way.
The ride
Diamante’s horses live on the property and know the trails well. Your guide matches each rider to a horse based on size, confidence and experience, then leads the group out along the park’s private paths — past the tropical dry forest and the botanical garden, across the hillside and down to the Pacific.
The ride is relaxed rather than fast. You will walk and trot, stop for photos where the coast opens up, and finish back at the stables. First-time riders and families with children from age 8 are welcome.
Included
Riding is also available with a personal guide, at $45 per hour, if you prefer a private ride or want more time on the trails.
How it works
Meet at the stables and sign the waiver if you have not done it online.
Your guide asks about your experience and picks a horse that suits you.
Through the forest and hills, down toward the coast, with stops for photos.
Dismount, thank your horse, and head for the sanctuary or the beach.

“The horseback riding was really pleasant, we went all the way down to the beach, which had a beautiful view. Highly recommend going!”
“I had an awesome time at Diamante. I bought the All Adventure Pass which was so worth it. Zip-lining was awesome and the staff is extremely efficient. I spent part of the day at the beach which is extremely chill and relaxing, with great views!”
