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! Pickup de 8H45 a 9H40 Tour: 9H45 a 12H00 Duration: 2H15

Overall very nice

5 of us took this excursions. The horses were well behaved and well cared for. The guides were very good and patient. The water wasn’t the best that day. Very rough so we did t get to swim with the horses. Got to see part of the jungle and then got to spend quite some time riding along the beach. Very sad to see so much garbage at the edge of the water.

Dream Come True

Alex was the best trail guide. He kept an eye on everyone and made sure that the guests as well as the horses were taken care of. I cut my hand just before we left and Alex patched me up. The horseback riding on the beach was a dream come true and I was able to check it off my bucket list. We’re in our 70’s. I would encourage anyone who wants to do this to just do it! You won’t be disappointed!

Best beach gallop ever

I have some experience riding lessons/jumping. Went on a solo ride with guide, Felix, to the beach in the morning. Felix took very good care of me and made sure I had enough galloping on the beach to make it a fabulous, memorable ride. I would do it again any time I could. The water is beautiful and the beach has very few people or buildings on it. We stopped to rest the horses and have some water; other beverages, food available. Vendors selling souvenirs, braiding hair, massage for neck/shoulders, monkey for pics. Bring cash if you are interested in this. Be sure to tip your guide generously, as this is his full time job!

Amazing and memorable

Easy booking on the app. Had a private tour, our tour guide Alexys was amazing. Handled the horses very well and took his time with us. Very patient, took tons of pictures for us and the horses were very well trained/behaved. This made the ride through the forest and on the beach a most memorable one. I would highly recommend this place to any one visiting the DR. Five star tour guide and 5 star business. Thank you for the memory.

A Nightmare from Start 2 Finish!

You have to find your own transportation to the “ranch” which was a pure nightmare. The “ranch” is like a biting fly infested Ethiopian village full of malnourished horses that are leased from the town’s people and “handled” by the hungriest looking poor little children I’ve ever seen. My children thought we’d traveled to some horrible 4th world Cambodian village where they have no food & no water. It was just a huge, dark muddy lot w/filthy animals & filthy people. One of my daughters cried to leave! In the midst of all of this nightmare is this one nice lady named Sylvie- but she didn’t give us the option to cancel our ride. So, we went and it was awful. I was going to tell her when we got back but she was gone. She did make sure we got back to our ship though! I was grateful for that.

Horseback Riding On The Beach

What an awesome experience horseback riding on the beach and the wood trail. The beautiful horses are well trained and you can tell Ramone and the others love them. Would absolutely do it again.

Five star sunset ride!

This was one of the best excursions I have been on. The horses are very well taken care of and the guides are knowledgeable and very friendly. The sunset beach views are amazing and it was an awesome experience to ride bareback in the ocean. This would be my #1 recommendation for anyone traveling in the Puerto Plata area!

A beautiful (more than) hour long horseback ride along the beach. We all had so much fun. Would definitely recommend for a day trip.
