Top Dominican Republic Horseback Riding - page 5

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.

This was a really great tour. They were so friendly and it was so much fun. Everything about this tour was amazing. Even the food was great. If we come back to the Dominican we’d do it again. Our tour guide Juan was soooo beyond insightful & was over all a great tour guide. You can tell he loves what he does. 10/10 recommend!!

Booked this day of and we were nervous after reading reviews from other horseback riding tours. However this tour was exceptional! We got lucky and it was just me and my partner and our amazing tour guide Fausto (sorry if I misspelled). Horses looked well-kempt and they were very well trained. Beach was beautiful and mostly empty. They even let us take pictures on our own phones. Everyone was nice and not as pushy as the other tours we’ve been on.

It was a lovely experience The plantation was nice - handmade items to purchase and see The ride itself was long and fun We had zero experience and managed well Took us to the beach, took some nice photos - saw a beautiful sunset. Would recommend!

Horses were well cared for. Ride is a mixture of trail and beach. Juan Carlos did an EXCELLENT job of choosing horses to fit three riders of various skills (from never ridden to very experienced). Those who wished to, cantered on the gorgeous beach. Let them take the free pictures at the end. It was a full 2-hour ride I wish I had time to take again!

IT WAS FUN!!!! I apologize that I'm terrible with names but the host was amazing! He was a great conversationalist and immediately put me at ease with his laid back demeanor. This was my 1st time riding on ATV so I a bit apprehensive but that time quickly passed. The tour guides all spoke great English and were just fun to hang around. We explored plenty and didn't have any issues they couldn't resolve. On of the best stops on the tour was seeing how Mama Juana drink was made. 😉😋

A great day filled with activities. I was picked up on time from my hotel at 8am. The tour started with the waterfalls , which were amazing - very refreshing and lots of fun. Our group of 3 was the first one to arrive which gave us more time to enjoy each of the waterfalls/slides. We then went to the main area to get lunch before setting off on a long ATV adventure through rainforest and passing through a village - a very special way to see the area. During the ATV tour we also visited a house in the village and did some chocolate, coffee and mango tastings. This was my first time doing a long atv ride and it was an exciting experience! We then went to do 8 Ziplines and finished off with a short horseback riding trip (which might have been shorter because of the size of the group and the time in the day). Whenever we had to wait a short time for the next activity, it was always in a nicely cooled chill area, which made the whole experience very relaxing. I would definitely do this again and will recommend this tour to everybody. It is a long day of activities with a bit of hiking in between, so you will be tired in the end, but it’s a great kind of tired. The tour guides and staff were all very friendly. The photos from activities were also great.

Great experience all around Zip lining was smooth and very fun especially for first timers! Horse back riding was amazing and super easy to understand ATVS were great even when doubling up Lunch was provided and there’s a pool to head into after Would definitely recommend
