Horseback riding.
Through the rainforest.
Explore the hills, forest and river of Rivel Estate on guided rides for beginners and experienced riders alike, as part of your group's stay.
See the estate
at horse pace.
Some places are best seen slowly. On horseback you move quietly through the landscape, past coffee hills, under forest canopy and along the river, with room to talk, look and simply be outside together.
Our guides know every trail and every horse. They set the pace for your group, look after safety and share the story of the land as you ride.
Rides can be added to any group program. Ask us when you request a proposal.

Long trousers, closed shoes or boots with a small heel, and light layers. Helmets are provided. Bring sun protection and a light rain layer.
Group size depends on the number of horses and guides available. Tell us your group size and we will shape the schedule, for example splitting into two rides.

Rainforest weather changes quickly. Guides decide on the day whether to ride, shorten the route or reschedule, and we plan alternatives around your program.
Yes. Riding can be part of any group program, from corporate offsites to wellness retreats and celebrations. Request a proposal and we will build it in.
