Excellent ride!
My fiancee, brother and his girlfriend took the excursion together. Our experience varied from previous horse owner to never having ridden before, and everyone had fun and felt taken care of. Oscar, our guide, was spectacular - friendly, knowledgeable and a great photographer! Robert, the trail lead, kept us together and made sure we were all good throughout the ride. I would definitely recommend. Ramon’s Tours was easy to work with, and very communicative with me prior to the trip when we had a small issue (our fault, not theirs). All in all, a highlight of our trip so far.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that everyone in your group, from an experienced horse owner to a first-time rider, had a fun and comfortable experience! 🐎😊 Oscar and Robert will be very happy to hear your kind words. We’re glad they made you feel safe, cared for, and entertained throughout the ride. We also truly appreciate your kind comments about our communication. We’re always happy to help when unexpected situations come up, and we’re delighted everything worked out. Thank you for recommending Ramon’s Tours and for making us part of such a special trip! 🇩🇴✨

This was a great...
This was a great experience. Oscar and Liam picked us up on time from the port. We rode with one other couple Oscar also gave us a mini tour along the trip to where the horses were. The roads were crazy but Liam was a very capable driver. We went through the jungle along the beach as described. We did stop at the beach where there were salesman but they were not pushy we simply said no thank you and we were left alone. Oscar took great pictures along the ride and would give them to you for a small fee. We even got to see a herd of wild cows in the jungle. Over all the this excursion was super fun! I would do it again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear you had such a fun experience with Oscar and Liam. It’s great to know you enjoyed the jungle and beach ride, the beautiful scenery, and even the unexpected sight of the wild cows! 🐎🐄🌴 We’re also happy you appreciated the small touches, from the mini tour along the way to Oscar capturing great photos of your adventure. Thank you for choosing Ramon’s Tours and for saying you’d do it again! We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure in Puerto Plata. 🇩🇴✨

Good horseback ride but a lot of wasted time
Our driver, Oscar, and Robert were all great guides. They were friendly, respectful, and did a good job throughout the excursion. The horseback ride itself was enjoyable, but about halfway through we were taken to a small setup on the beach where local vendors were selling souvenirs. We ended up spending around 40 minutes there while being encouraged to shop. That was pretty disappointing, as I would have much rather spent that time riding. An extra 25–30 minutes on horseback would have made the experience much better. I noticed several other tour groups stopping there as well, so it seems this may be a standard part of many excursions. Knowing that beforehand, I probably would have chosen the Country World Adventure Park instead. It's a little more expensive, but it's an actual adventure park that offers horseback riding, ziplining, and dune buggies without interrupting the experience for a shopping stop.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re very happy to hear that Oscar, Robert, and the rest of the team provided friendly, respectful, and professional service throughout your excursion. We also appreciate your comments regarding the beach stop. We’d like to clarify for future guests that this stop is part of the horseback riding experience, allowing riders and horses to take a short break while guests enjoy the beautiful beach. Local vendors are independent and operate on this public beach, but purchasing anything is completely optional, and guests are never required to shop. We understand that some guests would prefer to spend more time riding, and we appreciate your suggestion. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving the experience. Thank you again for choosing Ramon’s Tours, and we hope to welcome you back to Puerto Plata in the future! 🐎🇩🇴✨

Good horse ride. Pressured by our guide to buy things
Our driver was 30 minutes late. From the beginning, we thought they were both nice. They said they would take us shopping after the tour in which we said we only wanted to do the horse back riding because we had a dinner reservation back at our resort. The horses were great, and well trained. Our guide was a nice man, who didn’t say much to us but we figured he didn’t speak much English. He brought us to a beach which had many stray dogs and someone selling drinks. We asked for two waters and pet the dogs. People were trying to sell us trinkets but we politely said no. One of the puppies kept biting my shirt and feet trying to play. The bites hurt and she wouldn’t stop, ending up breaking skin on my hand. Our horse guide did not intervene and just watched. A guide from another tour came to intervene. All the dogs were so cute I loved them. When we left he said we needed to pay for our waters. Which we did but he didn’t tell us that initially. On the way back, he was quiet and was riding his horse while looking at videos on his phone. When we got back to our driver, our driver insisted we go to a gift shop. He said he would drop us off at the building we were staying in at our resort. I bought a couple cigars I knew were fake so I was able to talk down the price. But then they kept trying to take us to other stores. I said firmly we had to return because we needed to get ready for dinner. His demeanor changed and he was not very friendly anymore. We drove back in silence and he dropped us off at the front lobby instead of our building like he said. Didn’t really help us out of the vehicle like before. It was a nice horseback ride, loved the horses. Loved the dogs, even the puppy that kept biting me. But we both felt very pressured to buy more and when we booked we did not think that they would try to make us do more. It would’ve been nice just to horseback ride and be taken back to our resort. This felt very awkward at times when we just wanted to enjoy the ride
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the horseback ride itself and found the horses to be well-trained. We also appreciate your kind comments about our team. We would, however, like to clarify a few points for future travelers. Our driver was delayed due to unexpected traffic conditions, and we sincerely apologize for that inconvenience. As for the optional shopping stop, it was offered as a courtesy, not as a required part of the excursion. When you let us know you preferred to return to your resort, we respected your decision and ended the tour. At no point were you required to make any purchases. Regarding the beach stop, drinks sold there are offered by independent local vendors and are not included in the excursion price. Guests are free to purchase refreshments if they wish. We are also sorry to hear about your interaction with one of the stray puppies. These animals are not part of our tour, and while they are common on public beaches, we always encourage guests to avoid interacting with stray animals for their own safety. Our goal is always to provide a relaxed and enjoyable experience, and we’re sorry if you felt uncomfortable at any point. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working with our team to ensure every guest has the best possible experience.

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Beach Horseback Ride Tour in Puerto Plata - Scenic & Fun for All: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Plata.
How much does Beach Horseback Ride Tour in Puerto Plata - Scenic & Fun for All cost?
+
Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Plata usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Beach Horseback Ride Tour in Puerto Plata - Scenic & Fun for All take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Plata is not rushed.
Is Beach Horseback Ride Tour in Puerto Plata - Scenic & Fun for All worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 54 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Plata, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Beach Horseback Ride Tour in Puerto Plata - Scenic & Fun for All?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Beach Horseback Ride Tour in Puerto Plata - Scenic & Fun for All suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Beach Horseback Ride Tour in Puerto Plata - Scenic & Fun for All?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Plata can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Plata and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beach Horseback Ride Tour in Puerto Plata - Scenic & Fun for All start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Plata within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Plata?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Plata experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Monkeyland and Zipline Adventure from Puerto Plata, Monkeyland Puerto Plata, Puerto Plata Highlights City Tours from amber cove and Taino bay. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Plata?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Plata?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
