Highly recommend! Did not disappoint. - There were 4 of us on our tour and it did not disappoint! All of us have been around large animals or had ridden prior. The horses behaved great and would be fine with a beginner! Our pickup was on time, then we had a bit of a drive from our resort. That didn’t bother us because we had a lot of questions on the Dominican beings it was our first time there! Arturo (sp) answered them all and it was great conversation both ways. The horse ride was beautiful! The swings at the top were fun and view all around was breathtaking. We did the morning ride with lunch included. I am gluten and dairy free so was a little nervous on how that would work. We stopped at an adorable home in the town nearby for lunch and she accommodated my restrictions with no problem! I had let them know ahead of time. I appreciated that so very much and oh my goodness, it was absolutely delicious!!! We all enjoyed the experience so very much!! My husband, who originally was going just for me, ranked it toward the top for highlights during our trip! I wanted to see the true scenery of the Dominican and it didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience! - Amazing experience! The horses were well cared for and easy to ride. Large area to ride up to a scenic mountain top. The guides let up run with the horses as we had previous riding experience which was a blast!

Unforgettable riding excursion - An incredible riding adventure on a beautiful Dominican ranch. Some riding experience recommended, the horses follow each other closely and if one is encouraged to gallop, the others may follow. The lunch served following the ride was fantastic. The workers and locals facilitating lunch were kind and communication was very easy. We did go to Terra Nuevo ranch (I thought it would be called Cana Tequila) and learned we could stay on property there as well.

Wonderful! - Amazing experience! Booked for me and my two teenage kids and it ended up being a private ride. The horse are in good condition, the hosts are friendly, helpful, and engaging. The food was incredible and better than what we got at our resort. Very authentic Dominican experience. Not your typical nose to tail trail ride where you walk the whole time. We’re experienced riders so we went at our own pace. 100% would recommend. If you’re looking for a horseback riding tour, this is the one.

Decent Tour Overall - The tour was decent. We did the evening tour. Beware - the evening tour doesn’t include lunch. We did not receive the juice or fruit platter as advertised either, just a water bottle. There wasn’t any interaction or historical overviews throughout the tour, it was a silent ride the entire time. We rode to a mountaintop and saw swings, then rode back down. We also tried cacao seeds. We had fun simply because we were doing an activity together, but aside from that, it wouldn’t be a tour I would recommend or book again. Though maybe the morning tour is more eventful.

Awful - We approached the ranch with no briefing on how to ride the horses and no helmets provided. The guide was rude and unresponsive when we informed him that one of the kids was autistic and would prefer to ride with his mom. Despite our prior request and assurance that this would be possible, the guide ignored the mom and insisted the boy would be fine. He even slapped the horse, causing it to take off and separate the child from his mom. The horses were in poor condition, skinny and infested with ticks. My horse had ticks on its eyelids and ears and was underweight, making me feel bad. How am I suppose to enjoy myself seeing an animal like this? My wife's horse didn't respond to commands and had a swollen leg. Again No briefing was given on how to ride, and we speak Spanish I cant imagine how bad it’ll be for those who don’t. We were there for no more than 5 minutes, we decided to leave the ranch, skipping all the inclusive activities like coffee and lunch. Upon returning home, I requested a partial refund, which seemed fair given that we didn't ride or experience anything. However, the owner, driven by greed, refused to refund any of the $543 we paid, offering only a credit for a future visit, which made no sense. This experience was a hard lesson. I would never conduct business this way, but we all have different upbringings. Avoid this place; it’s not worth it. Other horse excursions are not only cheaper but likely offer a much better experience. I regret choosing this one.
