Unforgettable riding excursion - An incredible riding adventure on a beautiful Dominican ranch. Some riding experience recommended, the horses follow each other closely and if one is encouraged to gallop, the others may follow. The lunch served following the ride was fantastic. The workers and locals facilitating lunch were kind and communication was very easy. We did go to Terra Nuevo ranch (I thought it would be called Cana Tequila) and learned we could stay on property there as well.

Wonderful! - Amazing experience! Booked for me and my two teenage kids and it ended up being a private ride. The horse are in good condition, the hosts are friendly, helpful, and engaging. The food was incredible and better than what we got at our resort. Very authentic Dominican experience. Not your typical nose to tail trail ride where you walk the whole time. We’re experienced riders so we went at our own pace. 100% would recommend. If you’re looking for a horseback riding tour, this is the one.

great experience - Yordan was a fantastic guide and person! He is funny and makes you feel comfortable, he also has great knowledge of horses. If you want a great long horse riding experience in the nature of DR you should book this excursion!

A most fabulous experience!! - We drove into the mountains onto private property for the trail ride. The horses are very well kept and very well trained. The trail included riding on curving dirt roads, crossing creeks, going through coconut groves, and meandering meadows with the most beautiful mountain views I've ever seen!!! We finished the trail and some riding companions took a cooling dip in the fresh riverwater fed pool. Lunch was included and was simply delicious, giving us an added glimpse of the warmth and beauty this region has to offer!! It was a breathtaking experience and I am so glad I added it to my vacation.

Experience of a lifetime. - We had Jordan as our tour guide, and we can not speak more highly about this experience. Jordan was personable, it really felt like we were just hanging out with a friend for the day; he is awesome. The whole experience was very laid back and relaxed; we rode up the mountains to the top lookout, and then back down. The whole way up and down, Jordan would point out the plant life. We tried cacao and coconut water straight from the trees while on horseback. He took us to an authentic Dominican lunch at a Dominican House - the food was delicious. The day was packed, and we have zero complaints; it couldn’t have been more perfect. 10/10 recommend.

Fantastic afternoon - Great afternoon riding with my daughter, beautiful scenery and Arturo was a fantastic guide and told us so much about the Dominican Republic, a great way to get away from Punta Cana and see the real DR. Highly recommended.

Book this now! - Arturo was incredible, we can’t say enough good about this experience! We’ve done other rides and feel this is best horse ride experience in Punta Cana. Excellent driver, great service and an overall amazing experience, book this now with confidence! The horses are cared for and treated very well. The ride was filled with amazing views and was a lot of fun. We aren’t proficient at riding horses but are familiar enough; Arturo ensured everyone was fitted to a horse who would be best for them. The horses are well mannered and have fun personalities adding a lot of laughs to the day. Following the ride we had a great traditional Dominican lunch of salad, rice, beans, and chicken at a local’s home before being driven back to our resort. The cook was very gracious, kind, and welcoming. The ranch is beautiful and very well maintained. The ranch is about 60 km from Bavaro and the scenery on the way is great.
