Consequently, discovering this natural paradise from the saddle creates an absolutely unforgettable experience. You simply enjoy a unique and authentic way to explore our tropical surroundings. You can book your eco hostel accommodation and start exploring immediately.
Meet Zaccaria and His Healthy Horses
Next, let us introduce you to our friendly neighbor Zaccaria. He lives just 100 meters away from our eco hostel entrance. Zaccaria personally owns these amazing animals and works as an experienced local guide. Furthermore, he knows every single trail on this incredible island perfectly. He always rides alongside you during the entire trip. Most importantly, he keeps his horses extremely well-trained, healthy, and happy. He truly cares for his animals daily. Therefore, he ensures a completely safe and enjoyable ride for everyone.
Explore Hidden Trails and Beautiful Beaches
During your ride, you will discover many spectacular island locations. First, you explore quiet forest paths surrounded by lush tropical nature. Afterward, you navigate through hidden trails far away from regular tourist spots. Furthermore, your guide often takes you down to the stunning local beaches. Riding a beautiful horse along the water feels incredibly relaxing and free. As a result, you connect deeply with the natural rhythm of Nicaraguan life. You might even spot some wild monkeys in the trees above you. After your ride, you can join our daily yoga classes to stretch your muscles.
How to Arrange Your Riding Tour
Importantly, we no longer manage bookings for these tours directly at reception. Instead, you simply walk over to Zaccaria’s house to arrange everything. You can easily speak with him to agree on the best price and timing. This direct approach supports the local island economy perfectly. You hand your payment directly to the hardworking local guide. Please check our main activities and courses page for other exciting farm experiences. You can also contact our reception team via WhatsApp if you need directions to his house. We happily point you in the right direction!
