Sunset Horseback Riding in Puerto Plata
Description
Make your way along the beach and watch the sun and moon alternate and then we have a chance for a dip in the ocean with one of the horses who is not afraid to get wet, so don’t forget your bathing suit! 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).

Keep in mind, although, that sometimes this is not possible due to strong waves and streams. We always keep Safety First! Sunset tour start pick-up at 3 pm (ex Bachata.

Itinerary
The malecon of Puerto Plata borders the Atlantic Ocean for almost 5 km. It is a place of walk very appreciated by the inhabitants of the capital of amber. A colossal statue of Neptune, almost 7 meters high, watches over the city with its trident. It was erected on an island facing the beach in 1971. A walk on the malecon allows you to admire this beautiful statue, but also the sea, the beach, the locals playing dominoes and the young people gathering in their hundreds
The ride is suitable for beginners and experienced riders and your tour will start with pickup from your hotel by safari truck. After a short drive you will arrive at the beach where the horses are waiting saddled up and ready to go.

It was a great experience for my son and myself. From riding to the ranch in the back of the truck to riding their beautiful horses throughout the forest and along the beach. Our guides Alex and Angel provided lots of laughs and were very attentive. Great driver and Paparazzi as well. Highly recommend!
Truly enjoyable experience. Relaxing, fun and exhilarating all at once. My guide Ramon was patient and kind. A must do.
This is a great experience, even for travelers who have never ridden a horse. Communication beforehand was excellent and the guides did a great job of making us feel comfortable.
We had an amazing time! Pickup was on time. Horses are well cared for. The guides made sure we were always safe and comfortable. Swimming in the ocean with the horses we will never forget! The sunset was also amazing! Highly recommend!
We had a very enjoyable experience on our sunset horseback ride! The guides were kind, helpful, and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the ride. The horses were well-matched to each rider’s experience level, which made the ride even more fun and relaxing. The views were absolutely beautiful — riding along the beach at sunset felt like something out of a movie. The entire experience was peaceful, scenic, and a great way to unwind. The only thing we would have loved even more would have been the chance to pick up the pace and gallop a bit more on the beach. That would’ve made the ride even more memorable! But overall, it was a great experience and we’re so glad we did it. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a scenic, calm, and enjoyable beach ride.
It was amazing, and you could clearly see the love and care given to these horses! Highly highly recommend!!
True five star experience. Johnny and Raymond did an excellent job guiding us through the whole experience, and paparazzi Kilvio was on point with the photos. Even the pick up and drop off was top tier, which was led by Juan. The owner was communicative and very easy to coordinate with before and after the excursion.
Amazing trip! The pick up was a bit confusing but basically wait in the long till you see someone with the ranch shirt. Other than that everything was perfect! Staff was friendly, horses were well behaved and trained. I’ll definitely do it again. Be sure to take cash if you want to buy the pictures at the end (I edited mine but they are still good without)
Alexis and Romano were the best tour instructors, they spoke english well. The horses were well trained and the whole entire ride was beautiful! 100% worth it ! this excursion is a MUST do in Puerto Plata. The only downfall to my portion of it was me trying to find a ride to the ranch from Cabarete for a reasonable price. They did not have a close pick up location or transportation from where i was at other than that no complaints!!
The best expérience we had, Angel our guide was really great ! Thank you Rancho team i will never Forget this moment of my Life me
