Sunset Horseback Riding Tour from Punta Cana

Sorry to say , this wasn't a good experience, No helmets included, 3 riders have not ridden before. we were taken along the beach and then up through trees and a chalk path which was slippery when wet (which it was), horses slipped all over the place. My horse kept pulling his head as if he wasn't happy with his bit in his mouth, I turned him to stop and wait for my family and the horse pulled his head back quickly around, then started bucking and rearing up (a few times not just once), resulting in me jumping off the horse and away from his back legs. its turned out that a piece of the mouth bit had flicked up and was stuck in the horses eye. My daughter was extremely upset and crying, the guide took the horse off me and i lead his horse back along the beach, The guide didn't speak any English at all. and no one back at the beginning did either. It was all a bit of an ordeal and left us upset and angry. We paid a lot of money for this experience which has left my family never wanting to go near a horse again. Ive had no apology from anyone.

Mario and all the crew were great ! We ran the horses and had a blast! It was our only chance to see the sunset. Beautiful!

The horse back riding excursion was amazing, it was a dream come true!!! I wish we would of stayed longer for the sunset, and the path way for the horses needs to be a little better. But it was beautiful nonetheless, Mario our driver was absolutely incredible! really went out of his way to answer all our questions and even take us to a great place to eat!!

We had a wonderful experience. Our tour guide was Mario and he was amazing. It was a very smooth and pleasant experience. The horses were well trained and Mario made sure we were having fun ride. Highly recommend.

My wife and I booked this excursion not knowing what to expect since neither of us had ever been horseback riding before. But we absolutely loved the experience. The trail we rode allowed us to appreciate all the beauty of Macao Beach and also took us through some of the local roads which were very remote but fun to ride. The horses were great and very easy to ride as well. The sunset in the background made it even more special. The tour guides and photographer spoke only a little English but were able to converse well enough with us to give instructions and were very welcoming and professional. Lastly, our driver, Mario, was the best! He picked us up from our hotel and gave us some great insight into what it was like to live in Punta Cana and the surrounding areas. He spoke great English and was very friendly and accommodating. Overall we highly recommend Mario and this excursion. Very scenic.

Beautiful sunset and a great time to go into the foliage. Loved the horses and with no prior experience, my family felt safe and secure. Mario picked us up @ our resort. He was on time, professional and a lovely man. I would recommend this to anyone!

Do not book. Viator and the horseback tour had terrible communication. They never picked us up at our resort. Then they tried to say it was our fault and will not give us our money back. We waited at our resort for over and hour and now have had to contact them many times trying to get a refund and they refuse. Terrible organization and communication. We missed out on the experience and are out all of the money that we paid for it. They are not apologetic for the miscommunication.

Do NOT go on this excursion! The horses themselves were very well trained and a lot of fun to ride, but the beach was completely lined with trash and the tour guides were absolutely terrible. They spent the majority of the ride asking you to pose for pictures. Then they offer to give you the pictures at the end for $60, which we paid for, then they sent us the OTHER couple's photos. When we responded to them asking for our photos, they asked us to send them a pic of us so they could remember who we were. We did, immediately, but they still NEVER sent us the pictures!

We had a good time. My guide in front of me helped me guide the horse and he looked out for me. It was my first time and I was a little unsure about it. Especially on hills and slopes. I am not little girl, but the horse was great and we rocked it ! It turned out to be beautiful with the sunset and the way back we got to see the locals and get a taste of the real life and people there and culture and beautiful artifacts and stores, etc.

The best use of my.time.and excursion budget while vacationing. Customer service was A+ and the unexpected photo opportunity. Bring a bit of extra cash to maximize your sunset horse ride experience. I'm gonna do it again!
