Sunset Horseback Riding Tour from Punta Cana

The views were great and the hosts were very friendly! Perfect for couples. The tour guide Juan did a great job navigating and explaining the excursion.

My first time riding a horse on the beach my husband and I really enjoy the experience. the staff was friendly and very helpful definitely recommend you to try

The guides barely spoke to us, the horses were trained well but a bit fresh for any novice riders. The trail was dirty, with garbage and waste throughout. I think we rode past something dead in a plastic bin bag, judging by the flies & smell. The first “beach” we stopped at looked like a landfill there was so much trash, with the horses kicking empty beer bottles as we rode. The 2nd beach was only slightly better. The horses looked thin & bored and were irritable as they are not rotated through different routes. Photographer racing past on a motorbike was discomforting. The ride was less than an hour, not two hours as stated. We were not given any bottled water. On top of this, after the ride the driver then submitted us to the most awful selection of music at full volume on the drive back to our lodgings.

Very kind ... they made the trip very exciting... great experience i would definitely to it again 🙂

We had a wonderful couples trip w Viator. Our host Mario was fantastic and we immensely appreciated the smooth pick up and drop off to our hotel. Going to horseback ride at Macao was beautiful at sunset - it’s both beach and through the adjacent forest and back. A very fun adventure for us and another pair that was in our group. Would definitely recommend.

Very nice!we really enjoyed this tour.everyone was really helpful and sunset was great. Definitely must

Positives • We had a great guide (Juan) that spoke English and even Russian and could answer any question that we had about the horses and the Dominican Republic in general. • The transfer from the hotel was very smooth. • Very tame and laid back horses that are well taken care of. No problems for a novice rider. • The terrain was surprisingly diverse, with some forest and not only the beach. • Macau beach is very beautiful, its curvature, secludedness and rocky surroundings make for a great backdrop. Negatives • The main negative: A lot of trash on the way and on the beach. Unfortunately, this is a general problem in the Dominican Republic but it's hard to get used to if you come from a country where this is not the case (Europe, USA,...). It just completely ruins the mood for me to see that. Given that horse riding is a regular experience here and is done daily on the same route, I would expect that there is some more cleanup done. • Given the price you pay for the experience, I would have expected that some more photos would be made. Instead, there was another unrelated photographer that would ride along and take photos on the way and then would want to sell them to us for 40 USD. I found that to be unnecessary friction during my experience (considering the price you pay here). • We were never offered any water even though it was in the description. • The sun sets in the West and this excursion's beach faces East, so don't expect a Hollywood-esque sunset. • The excursion is a round trip. When going back, you don't go via the beach and through a village/regular road instead. I would have preferred going by the beach twice.

Mario, the guide, was very professional and helpful. Ramon and Christopher were great horse guides and ensured we were safe and having a great time. The horses behaved well and safe to ride. Would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy a beautiful horseback riding experience.

For experienced rider it is a highlight to ride without an amateur group- cantering and enjoying the real deal Recommend it! Travel solo or with good riders The guys are nice and doing good vibes

Sorry to say , this wasn't a good experience, No helmets included, 3 riders have not ridden before. we were taken along the beach and then up through trees and a chalk path which was slippery when wet (which it was), horses slipped all over the place. My horse kept pulling his head as if he wasn't happy with his bit in his mouth, I turned him to stop and wait for my family and the horse pulled his head back quickly around, then started bucking and rearing up (a few times not just once), resulting in me jumping off the horse and away from his back legs. its turned out that a piece of the mouth bit had flicked up and was stuck in the horses eye. My daughter was extremely upset and crying, the guide took the horse off me and i lead his horse back along the beach, The guide didn't speak any English at all. and no one back at the beginning did either. It was all a bit of an ordeal and left us upset and angry. We paid a lot of money for this experience which has left my family never wanting to go near a horse again. Ive had no apology from anyone.
