Sunset Beach Horseback Riding

This is the second time I have booked a sunset horseback riding experience with Rancho Salvaje. Both times, Angel was our tour guide. He is a phenomenal person, very knowledgeable and helpful! I am grateful to have had him leading and guiding us on our tour. Especially since I went with my young daughter both times. The horses are so well trained and behaved. It is such a beautiful experience. As I already did, I would book again.

This was our first excursion on the trip, me and my friends loved it! Very clear communication about pick up instructions. Had a lovely time riding on the horses and lovely guides. Stopped at the beach for a little bit so I’d recommend wearing your bathing suit if you want to take a dip, there’s also people with souvenirs and drinks and food along the beach so I’d take money along with you! Lovely landscape and experience. However, we headed back earlier than when the sun was supposed to set so we didn’t get to catch the sunset. Overall it was an enjoyable experience especially for my first time riding a horse!!

We had a great experience, the owner and guide people were very pleasant and nice. We will come back

This excursion was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. The meeting point is a bit remote if you’re not in the designated pickup zone (we were staying in Sosúa), but it ended up being manageable. Our taxi driver found it by asking some locals, and the staff even helped arrange a ride back for us afterward, which was super helpful. The horseback ride starts with about 15 minutes through a lightly wooded area on a very clear, easy-to-follow path. Then you open up onto the beach—and that’s where it really becomes something special. The scenery was stunning. It genuinely felt like being in a movie. There’s a stop along the beach where you can grab food or drinks. My friends and I opted for drinks and got to hang out, take in the views, and even go into the water with the horses, which was such a cool experience. One of the best parts was the photographer (Lolo) who comes along for the entire ride. You do have to pay extra for the photos, but they came out amazing and were 100% worth it in my opinion. The crew was incredible—so attentive and thoughtful, especially when it came to people’s comfort levels. I had no horseback riding experience and was a little nervous, but they paired me with a very calm, well-trained horse that knew exactly what to do. Honestly, I barely had to guide it—it knew where to go, when to stop, and even how to pose for photos. It made the whole experience feel really safe and enjoyable. One thing to note: we went in March, which is part of the rainy season, so there were some muddy patches along the trail. It actually added to the fun, but just be prepared—you’ll probably get a little dirty by the end. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this to anyone. It’s beautiful, beginner-friendly, and just such a fun, memorable experience—even if you’re a little nervous like we were.

What can I say I love going riding here, the guides are so good they make sure you are very safe they love to talk about the horses and know each and everyone of them. I have got to swim with the horses and gallop the beach. Will always go back..

It was fun and very calming. Unfortunately it wasn’t actually during the sunset. We finished before the sun sky changed color at all.

The best experience on horseback a breathtaking landscape ride. In a landscape where it’s beautiful magic WoW

1st of all, they found us at the resort. Super glad this wasn’t an ordeal. I thoroughly enjoyed the beach view. Both tour guides were conscientious of my 77 y/o Mom. Can’t say enough about Alexis. Very knowledgeable and kind to the horses. Best Pina Colada I’ve ever had. Fresh chunks of pineapple. Ahhhh so good. Black diamond was an amazing horse. My niece was so happy with the tour. My Mom had a nice time. Yes, it was well worth the time. Great experience. Photographs taken by photographer came out really nice as well.

It was absolutely perfect! Myself, my 8 year old daughter and my childhood friend traveled an hour by taxi to experience this treasure. The horses were well trained and cared for. The trainers Alex and Angel were so kind and funny. They made the experience well worth it! We are from Florida and we booked prior to arrival and we are so glad we did. Met some really nice people to in our group.

The sunset horseback ride was memorable and the guides were friendly. As a beginner, the horses seemed well-trained and simple to give commands. It was an enjoyable experience and a lovely vista. The reason for lower rating is because the listing said that it included dinner on the beach while watching the moon come up, which my partner and I were looking forward to. However, no dinner was provided. When I reached out to the tour operator asking for a refund only for the dinner portion, the operator did not respond until I said I would need to dispute with my credit card if I didn't hear back. That prompted an immediate response, where the operator said that the cost used to be higher but because of COVID the dinner was dropped and the price reduced. However, the listing did not say that. I asked others on the trip if they expected dinner, and they said no but that they had paid less than me. I was asking only for a refund of the difference between those prices. After brief communication, the operator stopped responding and has not responded for several days.
