What a breath taking experience! Horses were very trained and the tour guides were great made sure you feel safe and my family loved every minute of the ride. They were organized and on time. Be sure to tip them they work hard to give you an experience! Even if it's few Bucks they go out of their way.

EXCEPTIONAL! THIS WAS BY FARRRR my favorite part of my trip! The tour guides were awesome, especially Juan! So nice and helpful throughout the tour. The scenery was unreal. You MUST give them a visit if you want a real experience of local life and scenery!

My family and I very much enjoyed the horseback riding experience. It was beautiful to ride along the beach and they took amazing pictures of us that came out beautiful. The staff was friendly professional, and made us feel comfortable as we made our way through the horseback riding experience. I would definitely go again using this organization because we loved it so much.

Lots of upselling for pictures. Neat but be ready for lots of pressure. I would not go back due to this.

Do not recommend

Jada_V, Mar 2026

Worst experience ever I do not recommend at the end of the trip they try to haggle you to spend more money. The ride was late to pick us up. And the hospitality wasn’t good.

Amazing horseback riding experience

Mymommybakes_L, Mar 2026

Misleading advertisement!

LaVera_T, Feb 2026

This horse back riding is very misleading. If you think you are riding a horse on the beach you are not. The horses appear in distress and are not trained. The tour was on a muddy path and in traffic with cars. There was nothing scenic about this ride. Our guide spoke no in English and didn't knowcwhere he was going. MISLEADING ADVERTISEMENT!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

I had a good experience on horse riding tour. I was pick up from the Holel at time. Riding experience was also good and interesting.

Horseback riding on the beach

Marcus_H, Jan 2026

The experience was great, and the staff were very knowledgeable about the tour area. Big P's humor made everyone feel welcome and at ease, like part of the family. The horses were calm, easy to ride, and clearly well-trained. The photographer captured great moments with excellent photos and videos of the group and individuals. With its beautiful scenery, I would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends.

Fun family activity

Meg_H, Dec 2025

The horseback riding trail was nice although lots of litter but beautiful with the ocean and the tall palms. The guides were helpful and asked us if we wanted to go fast at certain parts of the trip. The horses were very enthusiastic and friendly. I was confused with what time my pick up was. My ticket said 9 o’clock so I was going to be ready to be picked up at 9 o’clock, but the horseback riding was at 9 o’clock and the stable was one hour from my hotel. The transportation from my hotel and back were wonderful! There was a language barrier.

Great fun!

Laura_P, Dec 2025

Excellent experience, friendly staff, horses were very well behaved and cared for. Would do it again! The only criticism is the cost of the 'professional photos' they wanted $20 for one photo - which others paid. This was what's app sent to them, no print out. The company would do better to charge less per person for all photos, they'd likely get more business that way....

Had a lovely time. The horses go at a decent pace and go fast at some point in the ride. Everyone working there was very kind.

Loved It!

BIANCA_H, Aug 2025

This was an awesome excursion to do with anyone. People were there with couples, solo and even with children. The horses were beautiful and well trained.

Tasha_S, Jul 2025

This horseback adventure was absolutely wonderful! The guides were professional, kind, and made us feel completely at ease from the moment we arrived. The horses were incredibly well-trained—so calm and responsive that all we had to do was relax and enjoy the ride. We rode for pretty much the entire two hours, which gave us plenty of time to enjoy both the horses and the breathtaking scenery. To top it off, the team took beautiful photos of everyone in our group so we could cherish the memories. I would definitely recommend this excursion to anyone looking for a peaceful and scenic experience on horseback!

Sade_W, May 2025

I felt played so on my ticket it stated we would get bottle of rum with our picture on it for free because it was included in ticket. That was a lie want 75 for 6 pictures and a half pint of mamajuana with our picture tape on it nice ride though

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We sincerely regret that there was a misunderstanding regarding the price of the excursion. We’d like to clarify that the cost of the tour does not include the souvenir photo, as this is an additional and completely optional service. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into account as we continue working to improve the experience we offer. Thank you for choosing Rancho Caribeño!

Very Relaxing Family Friendly Horseback Riding Experience on the Beach

Sarah_P, Aug 2024

Lovely time riding horses on the beach! We departed the stables and headed straight to the beach. We spent 80% of our time on the beach, but did spend a little time going through a “residential” area. Surprisingly there was a lot of trash. 😔 Our guides were very nice, but spoke very little English. They did allow my daughter and I to gallop on the beach as we are more experienced riders. Overall, it was a lovely half day excursion!

Must Have!!!!

Todd_R, Aug 2024

Wow. Simply amazing! Staff was the best. Wasnt expecting such wonderful communication, horses were well behaved. 2 hrs flew by wish it were longer. Beach was wonderful although we did go thru local town and other beach with brown water still the very best excursion I have ever been apart of!

A great time and experience

DeVonte_M, Jul 2024

It was a great experience. Everything was easy and smooth. The prices were great, the operators were great. My family and I had an amazing time. Will definitely book again the next visit to DR.

Great guides, not much time on the beach.

Darin_F, Jul 2024

The guides were great but only a little time on the beach. There was a lot of walking on a paved road. I wish it was mainly on the beach like the tour states.

Best horse ride on the beach

Laetitia_S, Jul 2024

Amazing experience! This was NOT a 10 min ride on the beach but a full hour! The staff was so great, caring and making sure everyone was enjoying! Highly recommend

Great for families

Tica_S, Jul 2024

This was by far the greatest appearance!! The horse’s were health and kept us entertained. pinky and Ronald had us laughing the entire time

Wonderful adventure

Donna_F, Jul 2024

Amazing staff both calm and patient with the customers and animals. You can tell the horses are well kept and trained. The scenery was beautiful. Can’t wait to come back and do it again.

Love the experience

Jade_M, Jun 2024

100% recommend… the horses were calm the view on the beach was amazing. The tour guides were very helpful and friendly.

Best experience ever

Anisa_Y, Jun 2024

You won’t regret booking this one! It was a breathtaking experience. We rode the horses along the beach. It was absolutely amazing. Not just the horses but the workers are so nice. The service from the staff made the experience 10 times better. I felt so safe with them because they were experienced and knew what they were doing. Anytime an issue would come up they were so quick to react. It was so great.
