Horseback Riding Manati offers guided equestrian experiences based in Manatí, Manatí. The business is featured on The Adventure Collective and operates two primary tours that highlight local landscapes and ecosystems. The Beach Trail Tour is a two-hour guided ride through Hacienda la Esperanza, taking guests across valleys, forests, wetlands, and beachfront terrain with two scheduled rest stops. The Natural Reserve Tour is a 1.5-hour guided route through the agricultural valleys of the Corozo Forest and adjacent wetlands, including a restful stop.
All experiences are delivered as defined tours with specified durations and routes. The company's operations focus on presenting the natural diversity of the region—coastal beaches, forested valleys, and wetland areas—through horseback rides. Trip summaries include clear timing and route details for prospective visitors. Horseback Riding Manati provides these tours as discrete products: the Beach Trail Tour and the Natural Reserve Tour. Each tour description indicates terrain types, approximate length, and planned rest stops to help travelers select the option that best fits their interests.
Listings and trip information identify the precise tour names, durations, and primary locations (Hacienda la Esperanza for the beach trail, Corozo Forest for the natural reserve route). Visitors can reference the tour summaries to understand the on-trail experience and natural features encountered on each ride.
