And if conditions permit, you might even get the chance to swim with the horses, creating a truly magical memory.

“Amazing and memorable - Easy booking on the app. Had a private tour, our tour guide Alexys was amazing. Handled the horses very well and took his time with us. Very patient, took tons of pictures for us and the horses were very well trained/behaved. This made the ride through the forest and on the beach a most memorable one. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting the DR. Five-star tour guide and 5-star business. Thank you for the memory.” - Reviewed on 2024-05-07
