There is something uniquely satisfying about exploring the Dominican Republic on horseback — moving through the tropical landscape at a horse's gentle pace, with forest sounds all around and no schedule to keep. This 3-hour ride takes you through lush countryside trails just outside of Punta Cana, accessible to complete beginners and experienced riders alike.

Your guide leads the group through a varied route: shaded forest trails, open fields, and a visit to a local ranch where you can learn about traditional Dominican rural life and meet the working horses and animals. The experience is well-paced and unhurried.

This is a morning or afternoon activity, making it easy to combine with other excursions on the same day. It's particularly popular with families — children aged 6 and above are very welcome and typically love every minute.

All horses are well-trained, well-cared-for, and matched to rider experience level. Safety helmets are provided. No prior riding experience is necessary.
