Best horseback riding on the beach - Best experience!! The whole excursion was amazing. Our pick up at Grand Sirenis to the ranch( maybe 5 minutes) in air conditioned van. The tour guides were very nice and organized with helmets and matching you with your horses. All the horses look very well cared for. The ride was beautiful along the beach. Definitely worth it to go! The only part I didn’t like was they do a photo shoot with u whether u want to or not. They did try to sell us the photos in one package with a cd but when we said no there was no pressure. I would recommend and go again!

Great value and customer service! - Rode on the beach with my son 22 and daughter 18, both of which have very different riding capabilities. The staff were really attuned to seeing everyone's capabilities. It was a phenomenally beautiful day along 2 very beautiful beaches (though you do have to ride through a few construction zones on the way and we were riding right after a huge storm, so we rode through VERY deep, VERY questionable water). At the midway point,w e were given a break on a stunning private beach. They whipped out machetes and chopped up coconuts for us to drink! Quite the surprise and definitely a highlight for my kids. Staff was SO nice, even with limited (i.e. basically NO) English. My daughter got to live a life dream of racing along the ocean, laughing her head off, and shouting "Andele!" with our guide. Also to note that the staff took care to include our condo as a pick up location once I contacted them on Whatsapp to let

Highlight of my trip to DR! My family absolutely loved this experience and the staff from Rancho made it even better. - This was one of the highlights of my trip to Dominican Republic. A 2 hour beautiful horseback ride with my wife, 3 year old daughter and 15 month old some. The entire team at Rancho were amazing and they ensured that my family was safe as we road across the stunning beach and through the jungle. We took some amazing videos and pictures which we then were able to purchase. We were given water and stoped a couple times to ensure everything was going well. My family loved it and I would recommend this activity to any family looking to explore some beautiful scenes. We got to learn about each of the horses and the the Rancho which was really nice. My kids loved it and my 15 month old was surprisingly comfortable with the pace of the horses walk. Once again, I can thank enough the entire staff of Rancho Caribaño for the wonderful experience. This activity will be truly remembered and we are excited to show our kids one day.

Worth it for sure - Fantastic experience my family first time. But this tour operator were great, looked after every step with clear instruction's. As people have mentioned the cost for photographs is 65 or 85 or 110 dollars depending on number of people 1/3/4. It is a bit expensive but they did not pressure you at all to buy it but the pictures are quality. The guides are brilliant.

Awesome horse riding! - Fantastic day at lovely ranch. All the staff and horses are very nice. I was picked up at Ocean El faro resort and it was only 15 minutes ride from my resort to the ranch. I was given nice strong horse and ride it on the jungle, street and breach. Overall lovely and inexpensive experience. The only thing I would recommend is to bring runners shoes, I had sandals and they were not comfy for the horse riding. There is a professional photographer on the side and for all the photos and a video, plus bottle of mama Hanna it is only $85, so worth it. Great time!

Horseback riding by the ocean - This was by far the best part of my vacation. I loved it so much I went back 2 days later. Paid extra and got a 2 hour private ride with Junior. Everyone there were great and the horses were beautiful and well trained. Running along the beach was almost like a fairy tale for me! I can’t wait to go back!

A nice few hours away from the hotel with some breathtaking views of the sea. - Picked up from Dreams Macau and personally chauffeured by “Ray”. An activity where just the two of us were taking part with our own personal guide. We really enjoyed this experience booked through TUI. Beautiful ride down Punta Cana beach, weather was amazing for us and the sea views were breathtaking. A short gallop on the way back was good fun too. A weird stop off point where some fishing was going on and an opportunity to drink coconut water in “unusual” surroundings where we assume we were wasting a bit of time to allow for the photo stuff from our earlier “photoshoot” to be done at the Ranch before returning. No issue with insects, there was quite a lot of rubbish which spoils some of the surroundings but that’s not the fault of those at the ranch. Slight issues with language as our guide didn’t speak English and our Spanish is rubbish however wouldn’t stop us from doing it again. Usual sales pitch regarding opportunity to buy photos and gifts but we were not pressured when we said we weren’t interested. Daisy asked for a mention so here it is…. Hi Daisy!!! You are amazing! A lovely couple of hours outside of our hotel complex.

Beautiful photo opportunity - It was a nice experience. Beautiful scenery and horses Guides are great and friendly. However, our pickup from the Princess Caribe on the open air bed truck was an hour and 20 min (Nexus operator told us 25min) The seats are not very padded and the ride isn’t the smoothest so if you have a sore back or bottom be ware. The actual horseback riding is around an hour. They stop for about 20 min when they reach the beach so they can take pictures and you can too. Then you ride down the beach to a river estuary that exits into the ocean. You stop here and dismount for 30 minutes ( give or take). It’s a nice spot. Would have been nice to receive a cold water or beer at this point. You them ride back along the beach again. The horses know the routine so they are anxious to get back and try to speed up. Expect a sore bottom from bouncing in the saddle. Once you get back, you can wash your hands and then they sit the group down and show you the pictures and short videos they took and try to upsell you a copy on cd and a pint size bottle of. Mammy Juana with your picture on it for $85USD. They then guide you to a boutique on the property full of your typical tourist market items. It takes an hour from the end of the ride before you’re on the bus. Then another hour plus ride back to everyone’s resorts. Overall It’s a nice excursion with great opportunities for taking some memorable photos but they could really speed things up at the end of the ride because everyone is anxious to get back to their resort

Overpriced - It was an OKAY experience however, during the walk, they will stop and force you to take pictures of you and your horse and the PICTURES ARE NOT INCLUDED AND THEY CHARGE HIGH ON USA CURRENCY( are we in dominican?, f@ck i don know). What's the point on spending 45 min of your trail time for pictures that they will chage after.. nonetheless, staff is friendly and they will assist in anything.
