The most appealing part of Rey Spearo’s tour is the balance between horseback riding and easygoing beach time. You ride through the jungle to El Eden and Edenva Parque Ecoturistico, swim in natural water, then settle in for lunch, drinks, a massage, or a nap beneath a shaded umbrella.

I like the careful plan for beginners: your first ride lasts about an hour, and you receive instructions before mounting. I also like the private format, since Rey can adjust the pace, return arrangements, and total length for your group.

The main consideration is time in the saddle. The full plan includes an hour-long ride out and another hour back, so even with the beginner-friendly approach, you should be comfortable spending part of the day on horseback. An alternative return option is available if the first ride proves tiring.

Key points to know before booking

Rey Spearo - Enchanting And Romantic Custom Created Tours - Key points to know before booking

  • A true private outing: Only your group participates, with pickup and drop-off at a chosen location.
  • Designed for first-time riders: Rey introduces you to the horses and provides riding instruction and an e-book before the tour.
  • Two one-hour rides: The first ride leads into the natural areas, while the return ride comes after lunch and a chance to improve your skills.
  • More than a riding tour: Swimming, waterfall views, lunch, beverages, beach time, and a massage are included.
  • A flexible day: The tour is listed at about six hours, but the final length can be adjusted to suit your group.
  • A useful packing tip: Bring a swimsuit and towel. A bag or backpack can be carried on the saddle for essentials.

A gentle start for first-time riders

Rey Spearo - Enchanting And Romantic Custom Created Tours - A gentle start for first-time riders

Rey Spearo’s approach is built around comfort rather than speed. At the start, you meet trained horses and receive an introduction suited to your level. The supplied riding instructions are available in a free e-book, which gives you a chance to prepare before arrival instead of trying to absorb every detail at the ranch.

That matters if you have never sat on a horse. One guest described feeling very nervous before a first ride, then becoming comfortable enough to remember the experience warmly. Rey’s own aim is to help the little kid in you come out and smile, and the tone of the tour appears to reflect that playful, reassuring approach.

The first ride lasts about one hour. That is a sensible limit for a beginner, since riding uses muscles you may not expect. You get time to learn how to sit, guide the horse, and settle into the rhythm without turning the opening section into an endurance test.

You should still wear practical clothing and expect some dust, heat, or dampness. The supplied information does not specify a clothing list, so follow the provider’s instructions after booking. Bring the stated essentials: a swimsuit, towel, and small personal items.

Pickup makes the morning easier

The tour begins at 9:00 a.m., with pickup and drop-off available at chosen locations. That saves you from driving, finding an unfamiliar ranch, or worrying about transport after a long day outside.

An early arrival also has a practical benefit. Light snacks and drinks are provided before the main ride, with the plan designed to miss the crowds. This gives you a little time to get settled before meeting the horses and starting the route.

Because this is a private activity, your group does not need to match another party’s pace. That can make a big difference if one person is a complete beginner while another has ridden before. Rey can focus his instruction on the people who need the most help.

The tour is offered in English. It is also near public transportation, though pickup is the more useful choice if it is available for your location.

Riding toward El Eden

Rey Spearo - Enchanting And Romantic Custom Created Tours - Riding toward El Eden

The first stop is El Eden. The route takes you through jungle vegetation, with time for views and photographs along the way. The appeal here is not a fast horseback trip or a long list of formal sights. It is the simple change of pace: you move through a natural setting on horseback, with the sounds and scenery around you rather than a vehicle window between you and the surroundings.

You can carry a bag or backpack on the saddle, which makes it easier to keep a towel, swimsuit, phone, and other small items close by. Keep your belongings secure and protected from water, since swimming is part of the day.

Photo opportunities are built into the route. You may want to keep your phone accessible, but do not let picture-taking distract you from the horse or the instructions. If you are new to riding, your first priority should be staying relaxed and following Rey’s guidance.

The first hour is also when you learn what kind of day this will be. If the horse and pace feel comfortable, you can look forward to the return ride after lunch. If your muscles or nerves say otherwise, the alternative return arrangements become important.

Edenva Parque Ecoturistico and natural water

The second stop is Edenva Parque Ecoturistico. Here the day shifts from riding to nature time, with waterfall scenery, vegetation, and natural water for swimming.

Bring a swimsuit and towel rather than assuming you can manage with ordinary clothes. Swimming gives the middle of the tour a welcome change of pace, especially after the first hour in the saddle.

The information provided does not give exact details about the swimming area, water depth, or changing facilities. Ask Rey about those points before entering the water, and follow local safety advice. This is one place where a waterproof pouch or a secure place for valuables would be useful, though no storage arrangement is specified.

The waterfall and surrounding vegetation also create the strongest photo stops of the day. You can enjoy the setting without needing to rush through a long schedule. Since the outing is private, your group can spend more time enjoying the natural area if the day’s timing allows, although the exact flexibility should be confirmed with Rey.

Same place, a different kind of date:

Lunch, drinks, and a second ride

Rey Spearo - Enchanting And Romantic Custom Created Tours - Lunch, drinks, and a second ride

After the first ride and the nature stop, you return for lunch with beverages. Food is a meaningful part of this experience rather than a minor add-on. One guest specifically praised the food experience along with the guide’s explanations of the area.

Lunch also serves a practical purpose. It gives you time to rest before getting back on the horse. By this point, you have had a chance to understand the animal, adjust your posture, and become more familiar with the basic riding movements.

The return ride lasts about one hour. Rey’s response to a first-time rider explains the logic: after the meal, people are generally more confident and ride better on the way back. That second section should feel less like an introduction and more like a chance to use what you have learned.

Still, do not assume you must complete both rides at all costs. An alternative return option is available if one hour feels too long after the first ride. Ask about the exact arrangements when you book, since the supplied information does not specify whether the alternative is by vehicle, a shorter ride, or another method.

Beach time and a massage to finish

Rey Spearo - Enchanting And Romantic Custom Created Tours - Beach time and a massage to finish

The final part of the day is designed for relaxation. You can spend time at the beach, swim, read, or nap beneath a shaded umbrella. A massage is included, adding a calm finish after the physical part of the tour.

This combination makes the outing broader than a standard horseback excursion. You are not simply paying for an hour in the saddle and then finding your own way back. Pickup, instruction, equipment, snacks, drinks, lunch, beverages, swimming, beach time, massage, and return transport are all part of the package described.

The value depends on the price offered for your date and group size, which is not provided here. Compare the quote against the cost of arranging a separate riding trip, meal, transport, beach stop, and massage. A private booking can be especially worthwhile if you are sharing the cost with family or friends and want a full day with minimal planning.

If your main goal is serious riding, this may not be the right match. The horseback sections are limited to about an hour each, and much of the experience focuses on food, water, rest, and the beach. If you want a gentle introduction with a broad mix of activities, the plan makes more sense.

What Rey adds to the experience

Rey Spearo - Enchanting And Romantic Custom Created Tours - What Rey adds to the experience

Rey is the named guide and the person who shapes the day. His role goes beyond leading a horse along a route. He provides instruction, explains the area, helps nervous riders settle in, and adjusts the experience around the group.

One detailed account praised his explanations of the surrounding area and described the outing as both educational and fun. That suggests you should expect conversation and local context along with the physical activity, rather than a silent ride with little guidance.

His replies also show a personal interest in helping beginners improve. The tour is not built around showing off advanced riding skills. It is built around helping you feel at ease, enjoy the setting, and finish the day with a stronger sense of what you can do on horseback.

That does not remove all uncertainty. Horses are animals, and riding can be tiring even when the route is gentle. Be open with Rey about your experience, your comfort level, and any concerns before the first ride begins.

Who will get the most from this day

Rey Spearo - Enchanting And Romantic Custom Created Tours - Who will get the most from this day

This tour suits couples, families, and small groups who want a private outdoor day with several activities in one package. It is also a good fit if one or more people in your group are first-time riders and would benefit from a slower introduction.

You may especially like it if you want:

  • A private experience instead of a mixed group
  • Pickup and return transport
  • A gentle first horseback ride
  • Jungle scenery and waterfall photo stops
  • Swimming in natural water
  • Lunch and drinks included
  • Beach time and a massage afterward
  • The option to shorten or adjust the day

It is less suited to someone seeking a long, technical ride or a tightly timed sightseeing program. The tour’s charm comes from its relaxed mix of riding and downtime. You should also be ready for a full outdoor day, with two riding sections if you complete the planned route.

The experience is recommended by 98 percent of those who rated it, with a 4.9 rating from 41 reviews. Those numbers point to strong satisfaction, but they do not replace a clear look at your own priorities. The most praised qualities are Rey’s personal care, his ability to calm beginners, his explanations of the area, and the combination of food and adventure.

Timing, booking, and cancellation

The stated start time is 9:00 a.m., and the tour lasts about six hours, though the final length is flexible. Confirmation is provided at booking, and the activity is private for your group only.

Free cancellation is available if you cancel at least 24 hours before the local start time. Cancelling within 24 hours, or making changes during that period, does not qualify for a refund.

Since pickup is arranged at a chosen location, confirm the meeting details carefully after booking. You should also check the exact price, what the alternative return involves, and any current instructions for swimming and clothing.

Is Rey Spearo’s horseback tour worth booking?

I would choose this tour if I wanted a private, low-pressure day that combined riding with swimming, food, beach time, and a massage. The one-hour first ride is a smart feature for beginners, and Rey’s personal instruction appears to be the heart of the experience.

Book it if you value convenience and variety more than long hours on horseback. The strongest case is for couples, families, and small groups who want transport handled and prefer a day that can adapt to their comfort level.

Think twice if your only goal is advanced riding or a long trail excursion. For everyone else, especially a nervous first-time rider, this is a thoughtful way to try horseback riding without making it the entire day.
