awful experience, no matching to description at all, not taken to a ranch, not introduced to the horses, no instructions. Poorly conditioned horses. Taken to beach via dirt roads and roads with sand buggies flying by all the time !! Scared us let alone the poor horses. Arrived at the beach was told to dismount almost immediately had one photo on the sand with the horses. No riding along the beach as advertised. Photographer present was constantly taking pics not asked by us !!

Worst horse riding experience I have done in the Dominican. Was my wife's 1st experience & was completely ruined. Everything from a 3 hour excursion which turned into a 1 hour horse ride dodging quad bikes & sand dune buggies. No beach water riding, no mountain trekking etc. Everything promised on the itinerary was non existent. Nothing but a hard sell to buy goods from the starting point. 2 x drinks cost $40. Drinks card given out with no price on. After drink payment was extortionate. Photographer on trip was taking numerous photos & expected $150 for the package. Stay well clear of this company absolute rip off in every aspect. Horses look tired & in need of a vet.
Avoid avoid avoid You are taken to a ATV area and made to sit through a 40 minute sales pitch, at which you will be offered a drinks menu with no prices, once ordered you will be informed they are 20 dollars each!! You will be given a hard sell during the 40 minutes and will not be able to leave this!! Once you have sat through this they will then make you sit in the scorching heat for a further 20 minutes waiting for them to bring out incredibly poorly looked after horses!! No visiting the ranch or being given any instruction!! The treat will then follow the same path as the very loud ATVs that will whizz past you at speed with no regard for you or the horse’s safety. You will then be taken down a main road again with no instruction or regard for anyone’s safety, The beach is nice but you will only ride the horses a very short way down the beach and then you will get off where a photographer will try to put you in a dress and take photos for 30 minutes all whilst the horses are kept in the midday sun! We said we did not want to do the dresses so the photographer took photos of his girlfriend in them instead! The return horse ride was a maximum 20 minutes again along a busy road whist ATVs whizz past at speed throwing dust at you and these poor horses. Once back at the ATV centre you will be pressured into buying photos you do not want or asked him to take! This trip is terrible and an excuse to get you there to sell you things that they make you feel you have to buy or they will not let you go. Please do not use this tour so they will have to stop offering this horse service and hopefully these horses will be saved from being treated in this way.
From the hotel transfer to the return, everything was very well organized. Upon arrival explain how to use the safety equipment and we were assigned horses suitable for our level. The journey was varied: we passed through paths with vegetation, crossed small currents and finally reached the beach, where we enjoyed galloping by the sea.The guide was friendly, patient and knew well of flora and fauna, which gave an extra value to the walk. I really felt that I connected with the Dominican environment. I recommend it for those who want more than just “resort tourism”.
If you’re thinking about a different activity and close to nature, this is a great option. The horses were in good condition, the guides very professional and the tour has variety: beach, trails, beautiful views. It was one of the best memories of my trip; I would do it again without hesitation.
Horseback riding on the beach as the sun goes down was magical. The guide made sure we all moved forward at a comfortable pace, explained patiently and took care of every detail. The horses seemed calm and well treated. I would have liked a little more free time at the end to enjoy the surroundings, but overall it was a spectacular experience.
The experience was unforgettable, from the moment we arrived it felt a relaxed, natural and full of energy Mood. The friendliness of the staff was excellent, making sure we were comfortable before starting the tour. The walk was full of paths surrounded by palm trees, rivers and landscapes. When we arrived at the beach: we galloped by the sea with the breeze on our faces and it was a feeling of total freedom. The horses were calm and used to visitors that made the experience much safer and more enjoyable. We had the opportunity to learn more about local life, crops, and enjoy a tasting of typical Dominican products. It was the perfect occasion to disconnect and live an authentic Caribbean experience. Without a doubt, one of the best excursions you can do in Punta Cana. 🌞
Horseback riding by the sea at sunset was unforgettable. The guides were attentive and the horse docile. A brief, simple and perfect experience for couples.
A sense of peace and connection with nature. The walk along paths between the greenery made me feel very connected to the surroundings. Hearing the sounds of the forest, seeing birds, crossing streams, everything was like a refuge from the noise of the world. An ideal plan for those seeking calm and beauty.
It was a beautiful experience riding horse in Punta Cana I really recommend it for families and as a couple it is the best!
We went with children and grandparents, and we all enjoyed it equally. The guides adapted the rhythm so that no one was left behind. There were times to jog and others to move slowly and enjoy the scenery. In addition, they told us about the local fauna and flora, that added a lot of value.
The walk was really on the beach and the horses looked in good condition the staff made everyone feel safe
A perfect activity for the whole family. The staff was very helpful and attentive. It's worth every peso, plus they offer very nice photos.
It was my first time riding and at first it was tired, but I really enjoyed it. Our guide was very friendly. I'd definitely repeat it.
It was a very nice experience where we shared with family the good is the very good attention I would recommend to my friends and family
The horses were well looked after and the guide was very friendly. The beach is beautiful, ideal for taking pictures and enjoying a quiet time.
The experience was unforgettable. Nature, adventure and a memory that will stay with me forever. Horseback riding at sunset on the beach was just magical.
Very pleasant walk, well kept horses and attentive guides. You can walk quietly or gallop if you have experience. Highly recommended!
