We partner with Rewilding Britain to help protect our natural spaces for future adventures.
All centres are vetted for safety and quality. Your adventure is in good hands with adventuro.
Leave the hotel gardens behind for a guided ride through tropical countryside outside the resort strip. You'll be collected from a selected stay, matched to a horse at the ranch, and then follow a guide at a pace that suits mixed experience.
Ranch staff meet you on arrival, talk through the basics and pair you with a horse as close as they can to your height, weight and riding history. The trail then runs through designated countryside paths, with the guide setting a relaxed order so first-timers and returning riders stay together. Each guest has their own horse, so you are not sharing a saddle.
This is a scenic outdoor ride rather than a lesson series or a beach gallop. Wear long trousers and closed-toe shoes, because you will be in a saddle on uneven ground for the core of the outing. The whole window is about 3 hours including transfers, with the ride itself sitting in the middle of that time.
The ranch sits in the tropical countryside near Punta Cana, away from the main hotel beachfront. Trails move through rural scenery and outdoor paths rather than busy resort roads or a shoreline canter.
Selected hotel collection is the usual start, so you are not navigating rural lanes to find the yard. The ride returns to the same ranch before the transfer home.
No previous riding experience is required, though you should be happy to sit on a moving horse and follow simple instructions. Guests from age 6 can join when they meet the ranch rules for the ride.
Tell us about pregnancy, back or hip problems, or a fear of animals before you book. Closed-toe shoes and long trousers are required, and sharing heights and riding history helps the ranch match horses fairly.
Horses are matched as closely as possible to your size and experience, so the trail does not assume everyone already rides. The guide keeps the group on a designated route at a relaxed pace rather than pushing a fast canter.
Collection from selected Punta Cana hotels folds the transfer into the same three-hour window. That leaves you with a countryside outing that still fits a morning or afternoon around the resort.
A driver collects you from a selected Punta Cana hotel or confirmed meeting point and transfers you to the horseback ranch. Wear long trousers and closed-toe shoes for the journey so you are ready to mount once the briefing is done.
Meet the ranch team, share any riding history, and receive the horse paired for you that day. The briefing covers mounting, holding the reins and how to stay in line on the trail before anyone leaves the yard.
Follow the guide through tropical countryside and designated outdoor trails at a relaxed, mixed-ability pace. The route is scenic rather than technical, with time to look around once you are settled in the saddle.
Finish the ride at the same ranch, dismount with the team on hand, and continue by transfer to your original pickup area. Timing depends on your hotel zone, so keep your phone on until you are back at the lobby.
Hotel pickup is included from selected stays in and around Punta Cana. After you book, you receive a confirmed collection time based on your hotel zone.
If your stay sits outside the usual pickup area, you will get a clear meeting point instead. Wear long trousers and closed-toe shoes, and be ready in the lobby with your booking confirmation.
Pickup and drop-off are included from selected hotels in Punta Cana, with the exact time set by your hotel zone. You get that collection window after you book.
If your stay sits outside the usual zone, you will receive a meeting point instead. Keep your phone on the evening before in case traffic shifts the window.
Plan for about three hours door to door, including transfers, the ranch briefing and time in the saddle. The trail itself is the core of that window rather than a full-day trek.
Hotel distance can stretch the transfer a little. The ride stays on designated countryside paths and returns to the same ranch.
No previous riding experience is required. Ranch staff walk you through the basics and match you to a horse before you leave the yard.
You should still be comfortable sitting on a moving animal and following a guide. This is a scenic trail, not a jumping lesson or a beach race.
The minimum age is 6, and younger guests must follow the ranch rules for the ride. Share ages when you book so the team can plan horses and the riding order.
Children should be happy to sit in a saddle for the trail and listen to the guide. An adult from the booking should stay with them at the ranch.
The ranch matches horses as closely as possible to your experience level and body size from the animals available that day. Telling them heights, weights and riding history in advance helps that pairing.
You cannot usually pre-select a named horse. The goal is a safe, comfortable fit for the group on that trail.
Long trousers and closed-toe shoes are required, because you will be in a saddle on uneven ground. A hat or strapped sunglasses and sunscreen help in the open countryside.
Avoid flip-flops, loose scarves and dangling jewellery. Insect repellent is useful on rural trails.
The route is a countryside and tropical trail ride near Punta Cana, not a swim with horses on the beach. You stay on designated outdoor paths with the guide.
If you specifically want a beach gallop, this is not that outing. The scenery here is rural rather than shoreline.
Light rain can still allow the trail to run, though the ground will be softer. Heavy rain or unsafe footing can change the route or move the booking if the ranch judges it unsafe.
You will be contacted if the ride cannot run as planned. The activity needs workable trail conditions.
Each guest is paired with their own horse for this trail. Sharing a saddle is not how the ranch runs the outing.
Book a place for every rider, including children who meet the age rule. Mention anyone who wants to walk beside the group instead of riding before you arrive.
Bookings run from a single guest up to 20 on the wider session. You ride as a guided group on the same trail.
Larger parties should mention the full headcount when they book so the ranch can plan horses and briefing space. The guide sets one pace for the mixed group.
About the centre
Punta Cana
You'll find us based in Punta Cana, helping you get out beyond the resort for island days, countryside adventures and time on the water. We work with trusted local guides and keep the day organised from the moment you book through to drop-off.
Whether you want a half-day off-road, a scenic flight, a boat trip, or a full day that mixes zip lines and the countryside, we'll match the experience to your group. When an activity includes hotel pickup, you'll get your confirmed collection time before you go, and the kit you need for the session is included unless that experience says otherwise.
