As with mountain biking, horseback riding has become a part of adventure tourism partially as a way to enjoy "getting there" as part of the process. Numerous operators incorporate horse travel into single and multi-day tours, allowing access to areas that vehicles can't manage as easily. In some cases, the trip over the mountain ridge is unforgettable and surely no more difficult than the poorly maintained road one would take otherwise! Visitors can expect a range of possible adventures, from volcano exploration to rainforest treks, or viewing mountain vistas or a sunset at the beach on horseback. Most area lodges can help coordinate horse rental for a local excursion within their area.
