The experience

The ride departs straight from the beach at JW Marriott Costa Elena, so there's no transport to another location. You mount and go. You'll gallop through coastal paths, break waves on the sand and spend time in the water if you want. The guide, who is native to the area and fluent in English or Spanish, stays with the group the whole time and handles safety briefing and recommendations. Bring a camera. The light at the end of the day is the whole point.

One hour is the full duration, which means you can fit this into a morning or afternoon without losing the rest of your day at the resort. If you're traveling as a couple, family or group of friends, the team accommodates all of you in one ride. Helmets and safety gear are provided, and you get bottled water during the activity.
