The ride

From the forest floor to the shoreline

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

What the tour covers

  • A one-hour guided ride on private trails, with the Pacific as the backdrop
  • A horse matched to your height, weight and riding experience
  • Helmet and a short riding briefing before you set off
  • A bilingual guide with the group for the whole ride
  • Time for photos at the viewpoints along the way

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

Before you mount up

  1. Check in 10 minutes early

    Meet at the stables and sign the waiver if you have not done it online.

  2. Get matched

    Your guide asks about your experience and picks a horse that suits you.

  3. Ride the trails

    Through the forest and hills, down toward the coast, with stops for photos.

  4. Return to the stables

    Dismount, thank your horse, and head for the sanctuary or the beach.

Questions

Horseback FAQs

Do I need riding experience?

No. Most guests have never ridden before. Guides give a short briefing, match you to a calm horse and stay with the group for the whole ride.

What is the minimum age?

Eight years old. Younger children can watch from the stable area or spend the time at the Wildlife Sanctuary while the rest of the family rides.

Can we book a private ride?

Yes. Add a personal guide for $45 per hour and arrange the timing with our reservations team before you arrive.

Do we ride on the beach?

The trail brings the group down to the Pacific shoreline at Diamante’s Hammock Beach, where the view opens up. Access depends on tide and conditions on the day, and your guide decides the exact route.

“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!”
