- Horseback riding. There are many, many opportunities to do horseback riding in San Juan del Sur and a full range of possibilities, from renting a horse on a farm, to different sized tour operators.
- Hiking and walking. I would differentiate
hiking from walking in San Juan del Sur in that you can hike around the small mountains and hills around San Juan del Sur (which is fairly strenuous), while walking is fairly flat and more for seeing wildlife. For both, there are lots and lots of trails. I don’t recommend hiking or even walking without a guide. Even though there are trails everywhere, they are not very well marked, so if you don’t go with someone who knows, it would be easy to get lost. Most of the hikes involve lots of the small mountains and hills that surround San Juan del Sur.
- Mountain biking. You would use the same trails for mountain biking as you would for hiking, so you should still have a guide until you know your way around and it can be fairly strenuous. There are not lots of places to rent mountain bikes, but there are a few, for example, some surf shops rent them.

One of the best activities here in San Juan Del Sur is mountain biking that also ties in bird watching. So you go mountain biking, then you will stop in certain areas, you take out your binoculars, and go bird watching. The whole activity lasts for 2 or 3 hours and that goes up and down the mountains of San Juan Del Sur. It is a good way to exercise and if you are an avid bird watcher, it is a good way to scout and discover different areas to find birds at the same time. ...
