Guides adjust the pace to your experience, from a gentle walk for first-timers to a faster canter for confident riders on open sections. 📋 Key Details Duration: Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes riding Minimum Age: 5 years (13+ may ride independently with guide approval) Location: Punta Cana, Bavaro and Macao, East Coast Group Size: Up to 15 riders; minimum 2 to book 🗺️ What to Expect Hotel pickup brings you to a rural ranch where staff introduce your horse and check helmets and stirrups. The route passes green fields and scattered homes in the Bavaro and Macao area before you reach the sand at Macao Beach. Guides ride with the group, offering tips on posture and reins. You return to the ranch by the same trail, with drop-off back at your accommodation after the ride. Pickup times and meeting points are confirmed according to your hotel; Cap Cana collections use the Main Tourist Entrance near Centro Comercial Las Canas. 📍 Location The ranch lies inland from Macao Beach, where Atlantic waves meet a long stretch of golden sand backed by vegetation. Riding here feels removed from the main hotel strip while still within easy reach of Punta Cana resorts. The Dominican Republic's east coast enjoys warm temperatures year-round, making morning or late afternoon rides comfortable. Pickup covers major hotel zones between the airport and Bavaro. ✅ Prerequisites Riders from five years old may join with adult supervision. Children aged five to twelve must ride under the direct supervision of a parent, legal guardian or responsible adult. Guests aged thirteen and older may ride their own horse when the guide, assigned horse and safety conditions allow. Participants under eighteen must remain accompanied throughout the experience. A minimum of two guests is required to confirm a shared departure. ⭐ Why Choose Us Horses are chosen to match rider ability, and guides speak several languages for mixed groups. The outing focuses on scenery and beach access rather than arena drills, with practical help on pickup times and what to bring before you travel. Support continues from your first question through the day of the ride, with clear pickup coordination across Punta Cana, Bavaro and nearby resort areas. Hotel pickup and return are arranged so you spend more time riding and less time sorting transport. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Guided horseback ride to Macao Beach Hotel pickup and drop-off in Punta Cana Horse and tack Guide in Spanish, English, German or French Safety briefing ### What’s not included Transport to and from the meeting point beyond included hotel pickup in Punta Cana Lunch and drinks Personal expenses and souvenirs Gratuities for guides and grooms Travel insurance ### Kit list _None._ ## FAQs ### Is hotel pickup included? Round-trip hotel pickup and drop-off in the Punta Cana area is included with your booking. Collection times depend on your hotel location and the scheduled departure, and are confirmed after you book with your accommodation details. Cap Cana pickups are coordinated at the Cap Cana Main Tourist Entrance near Centro Comercial Las Canas. Some properties may require a designated meeting point or additional transfer arrangement. ### How long is the horseback ride? Riding time is about one hour and thirty minutes on the trail, plus transfers to and from the ranch. The pace alternates between walking and trotting sections depending on rider confidence, with a guide assessing skills before you head toward the coast. Total time away from your hotel is usually longer than the saddle time alone because of pickup routing and tack fitting at the ranch. Guides keep the group together and allow photo stops without rushing the return transfer. ### What is the minimum age and group size? The minimum participation age is five years. Children aged five to twelve must ride under the direct supervision of a parent, legal guardian or responsible adult. Guests aged thirteen and older may ride their own horse, subject to the guide's assessment, the assigned horse and all safety instructions. Participants under eighteen must remain accompanied throughout the experience. A minimum of two guests is required to confirm a shared departure. ### Can beginners join? Complete beginners are welcome from five years old with adult supervision. Guides match horses to experience and start at a walk until everyone is comfortable with reins, posture and stopping cues in the warm-up area. Faster gaits are optional and only introduced when the group and trail conditions allow safe riding toward Macao Beach. Staff stay close on foot or horseback to support nervous riders on narrower sections. ### What should I wear? Wear long trousers, closed shoes or boots, sunscreen and a hat that ties on or fits under a helmet. Avoid sandals, flip-flops and dangling jewellery that could catch on tack or branches along the trail. Bring water and a camera if you want photos, secured to your body or left with staff when riding on the beach section. Light gloves can help with grip if you have sensitive hands on longer trotting stretches. ### What happens in bad weather? Rides run year-round on scheduled dates when trails and beach access are safe. Heavy rain, lightning or rough surf at Macao may lead to a change of date or route if conditions are unsafe. Light wind on the beach is normal; guides adjust the route or shorten beach time if sand or waves make riding unsuitable. Morning and late-afternoon departures often offer the most comfortable temperatures. ### Can solo travellers join? This product requires a minimum of two guests to confirm a shared departure. Solo travellers can still book; the operator will merge you with another rider or small group on the same date when schedules allow. If no partner party is available, you may be offered an alternative date or a private supplement. Contact the team after booking if you are travelling alone and want to confirm pairing before your travel day. ### How large are the groups? Shared groups can include up to fifteen riders plus guides on foot or horseback. Larger parties above usual capacity may be accommodated when availability allows. For groups of twenty or more participants, please send an enquiry so availability and operational coordination can be confirmed before you travel. ### Are helmets provided? Helmets are provided at the ranch and fitted before you mount. Staff adjust chin straps and check that headwear sits level; ask for a different size if yours feels loose or tight before leaving the yard. Wearing a helmet is strongly recommended on trail and beach sections, especially for less experienced riders. If you prefer your own riding hat, bring it only if it meets safety standards and fits your booked horse's routine tack. ### Which languages are offered? Booking assistance is available in Spanish, English, German and French. The operating language of the tour is subject to the assigned guide and should be confirmed when booking. Mixed-language groups are common in Punta Cana. Lead guides repeat key safety instructions and route cues so everyone understands when to walk, trot or pause for photos toward Macao Beach. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/08/a5e7c1e6-49ce-4f2b-8716-c4cee7284dcc.jpg - **Gallery image count**: 6 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
