The experience
You start at a ranch outside Punta Cana, where your guide assesses your riding experience and matches you to a horse. From there, you head to Macao Beach, a stretch of white sand lined with palm trees in the northern part of Bávaro. The beach is popular with locals and sits away from the resort strip, so the ride itself is the point, not a quick photo stop.
Once on the sand, you set the tempo. Walk if you're building confidence or new to riding. Gallop at full speed if you have experience and want to feel it. Your guide stays with you and can advise on what feels right for your skill level. The 3-hour activity includes the ride, round-trip transport from your hotel, a professional guide, water and a tropical fruit snack. Children from age 7 are welcome.
The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian, French or Portuguese, so language is not a barrier. Pickup is included from Punta Cana hotels, and you return the same way. Not recommended if you have spinal injuries or are pregnant.
