Beautiful ocean ride! - It was a beautiful ride, especially along the ocean. The guides were very friendly! The horses were very relaxed, and made for a nice calm moment in a gorgeous location.

Lots of fun - This was great fun. The guide Hantz was very good with the horses, and with the humans. There was no size limit for riders. My husband is a big man. We asked if he was too big for the horse. And they said no. But the horses look small. The horses were steady and calm and well behaved. One piece of advice. It’s a long trip. Don’t drink a lot before the ride. It was difficult to find restroom for us before the ride. We’re asked at three places before finding a place. There is a restroom at the stop half way. All in all a very good riding experience. I’m not very experienced with horses, but I was comfortable with the entire trip.

Going back!! Cruiser !! - The pickup from the cruise ship was perfect! We had a very small group, four of us and three guides. A really long, easy walk through woods and beach. At the beach we treated the horses and could get drinks and food cooked on the beach! That was great!! Take cash for that.

Horseback riding on the Beach - My girlfriend's very first time on a horse. She got to walk and trot with a very gentle horse. Walking on the beach and trails through the countryside, walking though puddles and on the thick sand was a great experience!

Happy Horses, Happy People - This was a really fun experience. Gorgeous beach and trails, helpful guides. Great price and accommodation time of pick up and drop off at port. Some improvement is needed for the directions where the pick-up location is once the guest comes through the port entrance.

Didn't know that horseback riding on a beach was on my bucket list, but it apparently was. - Overall this is an enjoyable activity. Unfortunately there is a lot of trash along the way and on the beach, but that's no fault really of the vendor. Be sure to wear long pants and sneakers.

Ok ride - Was a pretty nice ride horses were so thin … Enjoyed it have been on way better rides in Costa Rica , most annoying thing was these guys take pictures the whole time and then at the end of it they want you to pay 3000 Dominican dollars for them to send you all the pictures on WhatsApp we took our own pictures. We really didn’t want their pictures but we told them we would pay 2000 we really did not want them. We did it as a favour to them but they were so pushy about it. So annoying.

Just ok - The horses looked like they were struggling. And the tour guides were mostly there for supervision. But the beach destination was gorgeous and it was a decent experience.

Not Worth the Money - The scenery on the beach was beautiful. But that’s about all that was good. The horses were thin. There was a photographer who took pictures. He never smiled and the pictures were subpar and very expensive. Very disappointed but made the best of it.

Uncomfortable experience - The horses were great... But everything else I would not want to experience again. Felt unwelcome, unsafe, and taken advantage of. I really wanted to love this experience, but there were so many cons to this that out weighed the good. I'm sorry... I would never recommend this experience.
