Half-Day Beach Horse Back Riding in Puerto Plata
Description
You will ride along a gravel path through the jungle to the beach and then along the beach with the waves touching the horses’ feet. After a photo session stop with the turquoise ocean in the back ground the ride goes on to a bar in Bergantin beach for a break and possibility to buy souvenirs (or other drinks than included in the tour). If the ocean and streams are applicable you will be offered to swim with a horse which is a great experience. Keep in mind, although, that sometimes this is not possible due to strong waves and streams. We always keep Safety First!

The guide was wonderful, but it cost 50 dollars to find someone who could help us find where to go when we got off the ship. We road on the beach to beach bar. The description of ride was insufficient.
The guides are super friendly and helpful. Fluent in English and Spanish. Horses were suited properly with the rider level. We had an amazing time! Highly recommend
We only had two and a guide on the ride. We met Alex at the drop off spot. He guided us thru the backcountry to the beach. We rode a good way on an isolated beach. After a short break, Alex led us into the ocean. Our horses were great. Sylvia of Rancho Lollar was wonderful to work with.
The horse back riding was really neat. We were a family of 4, but the total group was around 20. There were several guides and the camera guy. I messed up the port and ended up having to take a taxi to meet us at the ranch; but that was on me. Word to the wise - the pictures they take are not worth the money. They email you the pictures but they are ok. With phones nowadays you can take just as good or better pictures. The part that made us sad is how dirty and covered in trash everything was. We are not riding horses on a main road. This is all back road and then the beach. There was trash everywhere. It really was sad to see.
We booked this adventure, initially planning to do a beach ride. However, we were contacted and offered a choice of mountain or beach ride. We chose to do the mountain ride. To be clear, we did not actually go up the mountain but took a path towards the mountain offering beautiful countryside views and picturesque settings for family photos. The horses were excellent. Well-mannered, ready to run if you wanted or simply walk at a leisurely pace, all dependent on the rider's choice. The guides were courteous, respectful, and very accommodating of our family's requests for pictures, videos, picking up the pace or slowing down, etc. During our trip, we encountered several other horses, dogs, cows, go-karts, motorcycles, and cars. The horses never spooked or appeared jittery. They remained calm throughout and were a joy to ride. I would highly recommend this adventure for all families, regardless of previous horsemanship abilities. It is great for both the beginner and the experienced rider.
Had a great time with my wife riding with our guide Juancito. Well trained horses and great guides. Would love to do it again.
Great ride on well-trained horses, Ramon is the best guide, very nice beach and good stopover, unfortunately the way to the beach is full of mosquitoes, so wear long trousers or endure the bites
Excellent horseback riding experience with well trained horses and excellent tour guide Alex. You stop by the beach and and enjoy a nice refreshment.
The company was very welcoming and gracious! The tour guide was friendly and helpful. An excellent experience!
A dream!! I always had on my vision board riding a horse on the beach at sunset and finally had the chance to try it. The guide men were so friendly and speak english perfectly. They were extremely polite and respectful and trying to help everyone. I wanted to take a lot of pictures and they had patience with me ahahah🤍 It s a dream and a perfect experience to try it. The horses were well trained and everything went perfect Thank you 🤍🤍🥰
