Dave picked us up in Bocas Town, and after a short and very cool boat ride, we arrived at his and his wife's amazing home. I'm an inexperienced rider and Dave showed me the 'ropes', put me on a nice horse and off we went. We went through the jungle and saw some amazing views. It was an incredible day. Well worth it!

Were very much looking forward to a day's riding, but Dave the owner explained that the company is moving location (early August 2014) so be sure to call ahead of time to find out whether they have completed the move.Otherwise you may be disappointed as we were.

I've done some riding along the Caribbean coast of Panama in Colon, but was really impressed with Dave's operation. The horses were healthy and responsive, the tack was very high-quality and Dave's horsemanship was skilled and a pleasure to observe. Definitely looking forward to the next opportunity to return and go for a longer ride to really get a feel for the island!

Dave gave us an amazing and informative tour of San cristobal on horseback. He personally picked us up by boat in Bocastown. Arriving we climbed 129 stairs to the stables where very well cared for horses were already saddled and ready to go. Over the mountains and through the sugarcane fields and cocoa farms we rode to an indigenous village. Served lunch and bought crafts. Ride home had incredible views. Back at the barn we met Molly , Dave's wife, who makes wonderful soaps and lotions. This is a 5 star experience.

What an incredible day! Dave picked us up in his boat at Red Frog and we were given a great “mini-tour” on our 25 minute ride to the horses. His knowledge of local history is wonderful. I’d gotten my moneys worth even before we rode the horses. Make sure to ask him how he got the horses to the island. Crazy-amazing! When we arrived the horses were ready to go. Dave talked to each person about their riding experience to make sure we were matched with the right horse. The ride was beautiful and educational. Dave has really done his homework. Because our group had 2 young girls, we did a nice walk through the jungle which was perfect. Having not ridden for almost 20 years it was a perfect re-introduction. Now we’re ready for the longer more adventurous ride. We'll see you soon Dave!

We went on Dave's tour on the last day of our honeymoon, and we both wish we had scheduled it earlier in the week so that we could have done it again! It was easily the best tour of our trip, and we had an action-packed vacation. Dave was a wonderful host, was knowledgeable about the area and local history, and had some entertaining stories of some of the more colorful residents of the area. San Cristobal is the PERFECT place for a horseback tour. Every inch of the tour was full of beautiful landscapes and views, and full of wildlife to grab your attention. I couldn't stop taking pictures, there was just too much to see! The opportunity to go into the village was something we'll never forget. Dave was obviously popular there, and helped guide us through their customs. Dave was friendly, and down to earth, and we felt like we had known him for years. It was truly a treat to have his full attention on the tour by ourselves, we didn't feel like we were just a part of a crowd. The horses were well cared for and perfectly well-behaved for riders of all types. Narciso and Rosco were excellent tour companions as well, and are a huge part of our memories from this one-of-a-kind tour. I couldn't recommend Panama Horseback Adventures enough, there are too many good things to fit all into one review.

I was visiting Bocas during low-season and called them up to see about a ride and no rides were available but they were able to pull things together to accommodate a ride. It was just myself and one other girl, and we had two great guides, Ilia (spelling?) and Narcisso. We got to ride through the jungle and see some of the most amazing views. I felt like I was on an episode of Lost (minus the weird stuff). We then had a really unique experience of going into a small village on the island and having a local meal while interacting with the locals and exploring their small village. NOT a typical tourist attraction and such a cool experience. The ride finished off with more awesome jungle treks, some more great views and a cold beer overlooking the ocean. The horses were sweet, well trained and fun to ride. Overall great experience!

Dave recently relocated his operations to Red Frog Beach Resort on Isla Bastimentos. He was kind enough to squeeze me in for a half day ride on short notice, and I'm glad he did as it was my favorite day trip while in Bocas. He teamed me up with a horse perfectly suited to my abilities (or lack thereof!), so I was very comfortable. His guide Ilja (sp?), was very friendly and took great care of me as she knew I was a bit nervous. The ride was not only beautiful, but great fun as we wove in and out of beach and jungle terrain to reach a beautiful overlook. I highly recommend the tour as it was the "something different" I was looking for after many days in/on the water.

One of the nicest thing about the tour besides the riding itself was meeting Dave, Molly and Narcise. My wife and I are inexperienced riders. Dave made everything so comfortable that after the tour was done I asked about doing a more advanced ride.. Unfortunately we ran ride out of time. Our tour was the best and most interesting one we did. The scenery, the wild life and getting to see a real Panamanian village was amazing. Thanks to Dave and his help and keep the good times coming.

We went on the full day tour (10:00 AM to 4:00 PM). Being novice riders, it was so helpful and educational having Dave give us safety pointers and a quick-and-dirty lesson on how to handle ourselves and the horses on different terrain. He and his trail guide, Narcisso, made us feel totally comfortable and confident. The trail was beautiful and along the way, Dave provided education on the local flora and fauna. He also shared many colorful stories on the history of Bocas. The lunch in the village was delicious - yummy chicken, coconut rice, and beans. I purchased a great bag and two bracelets made by the local Artisans. Something I'll treasure, along with the memory of the ride, forever. Don't hesitate to go!!
