“Andrew picked us up right on time and made sure we got to our destination smoothly. Before heading out, he took us to a local store so we could buy souvenirs and memories from Punta Cana, which was a really nice touch. He then dropped us off at the horseback riding location. The entire experience was great—everyone was very professional, and I felt safe the whole time. Andrew also made sure we got back to our Airbnb safely. I totally recommend booking this activity!”

The guides were very friendly and helpful, and the photographer was great! I would highly recommend😊 If I get back to the DR, I'll be signed up for another❣️”
Ride along Punta Cana’s beach and through palm-filled countryside with Rancho El Diferente. No riding experience is needed, and guides such as Fausto offer instruction, beach photo stops, and gentle horses. Hotel pickup, water, and soda are included, though the sunset timing can vary.
“The experience itself was peaceful. However the mosquitoes are very aggressive which took away from the experience. The entire group were smacking their legs from bites. 2 days later, both my legs are covered in bites and it’s extremely uncomfortable.”
Ride with guides such as Jeff and José from countryside trails to Playa Macao, then visit a typical Dominican home for coffee and hot chocolate. You will receive a helmet, hotel pickup, and a beach stop, but transport and waiting can stretch the outing beyond the advertised three hours.

Ride through tropical trails to Macao Beach with a multilingual guide, then sample coffee, cacao, and mamajuana. You will have time to swim and relax near the river mouth. The horses do not go onto the beach, so plan to view the sunset on foot.
“Wij hebben een geweldige tour gehad. Mijn man en ik waren uiteindelijk met zen 2tjes, mooie fotos gemaakt en een hele beleving. Echter moet je kunnen paardrijden omdat de begeleiding zelf ook met het paard meegaat. Wel is het zo dat de paarden niet op het stand mogen waardoor je de zonsondergang te voet moet bekijken. Wij hebben echt genoten van de natuur die wij konden zien met de paarden. De mensen waren aardig en deden echt hun best om het voor ons leuk te maken.”
Spend about 4.5 hours on a private, adults-only Punta Cana night tour with guides such as Manuel and Antonio. Ride a buggy, visit a Taíno cave with clear water, taste chocolate, coffee, and tobacco at a typical house, then enjoy music and a pool party under the stars.
“It was totally crazy, it was something super, what a tour, nothing better, the music and the tour was something blessed 🙏”
Pick a beach, a boat, a track or a bar.
