The tour begins with the humid salt air and the distant crash of the Caribbean; riders saddle up on a shaded stretch of beach, then canter into the surf as gulls wheel overhead. Later the rhythm changes—your guide poling a narrow bamboo raft down a slow river, palms brushing the water like a quiet crowd. The contrast between the shore’s open horizon and the river’s intimate green corridor is the trip’s defining pleasure.
