What are people saying about Dominican Republic

Excellent ride!
My fiancee, brother and his girlfriend took the excursion together. Our experience varied from previous horse owner to never having ridden before, and everyone had fun and felt taken care of. Oscar, our guide, was spectacular - friendly, knowledgeable and a great photographer! Robert, the trail lead, kept us together and made sure we were all good throughout the ride.
I would definitely recommend. Ramon’s Tours was easy to work with, and very communicative with me prior to the trip when we had a small issue (our fault, not theirs). All in all, a highlight of our trip so far.

We would book this again!
We truly loved this experience. From pick-up to drop-off, we felt that our service was very personalized, and our hosts took a great deal of pride in making sure that we were comfortable and that we felt safe, since my 3 boys had never ridden on a horse before. Overall, my husband, I, and our boys really enjoyed this sunset horseback riding experience.

Beautiful Ride, Outstanding Guides, and Amazing Photos!
If you’re visiting the Dominican Republic, I can’t recommend this horseback riding excursion enough! My girlfriend and I chose the private tour, and it was one of the highlights of our trip.
I’d never ridden a horse before, so I was a little nervous going into it. Within just a few minutes, I felt completely comfortable thanks to our guide, Enrique (Ryke), who made sure I was relaxed and confident before we headed out.
The ride itself was incredible. We spent about two miles riding along the beach with beautiful ocean views the entire way. One of my favorite moments was when our guide stopped and had a local gentleman cut open a fresh coconut for us right on the spot. I’d never had fresh coconut straight from the tree before, and it was such a unique experience that made the tour feel even more authentic.
Choosing the private option was absolutely worth it. Instead of being part of a large group, it felt much more personal and relaxed, allowing us to enjoy the scenery at our own pace. It also included a photographer, John Carlos, who captured some incredible moments throughout the ride. The quality of the photos was outstanding and gave us memories we’ll have forever.
Overall, this experience was a 10/10. If you’re visiting the Dominican Republic and considering a horseback riding excursion, I highly recommend booking the private tour. It was an unforgettable experience from start to finish!

Fantastic
Carlos and Fernando were our guides. They were beyond fantastic. They were professional, personable, kind, and knowledgeable. My husband and I were the only 2 who booked this trip on Viator on this cruise. Seriously?! We literally spent HALF of what the cruise ship charged and had such personalized, top-notch service it was unbelievable. We were on the excursion WITH passengers from our ship but they paid 2x as much for the exact, same experience.
If you worry about booking outside the cruise line, stop worrying. It's these people's job to give you a fantastic experience when you book with them. Could you imagine if they didn't get you back to your ship on time? They would never stay in business.
The waterfalls were fantastic. It was shaded, stunningly beautiful, and quite the adventure. Definitely not an excursion for those who can't climb stairs or hike up a hill, but for those who can handle it, this is an excursion not to be missed.

This excursion was...
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.

10/10. Won’t regret this tour.
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!!

Great Experience
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.

Don't pass up this experience
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 must do in puerto plata
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.
