    About this experience

    You will ride along a gravel path through the jungle to the beach and then along the beach with the waves touching the horses’ feet. After a photo session stop with the turquoise ocean in the back ground the ride goes on to a bar in Bergantin beach for a break and possibility to buy souvenirs (or other drinks than included in the tour). If the ocean and streams are applicable you will be offered to swim with a horse which is a great experience. Keep in mind, although, that sometimes this is not possible due to strong waves and streams. We always keep Safety First! Pickup de 8H45 a 9H40 Tour: 9H45 a 12H00 Duration: 2H15

    Great times!

    Angel was awesome. We enjoyed every minute of the ride. The break in the middle was great! Very relaxing and not crowded at all.

    Overall very nice

    5 of us took this excursions. The horses were well behaved and well cared for. The guides were very good and patient. The water wasn’t the best that day. Very rough so we did t get to swim with the horses. Got to see part of the jungle and then got to spend quite some time riding along the beach. Very sad to see so much garbage at the edge of the water.

    Dream Come True

    Alex was the best trail guide. He kept an eye on everyone and made sure that the guests as well as the horses were taken care of. I cut my hand just before we left and Alex patched me up. The horseback riding on the beach was a dream come true and I was able to check it off my bucket list. We’re in our 70’s. I would encourage anyone who wants to do this to just do it! You won’t be disappointed!

    Best beach gallop ever

    I have some experience riding lessons/jumping. Went on a solo ride with guide, Felix, to the beach in the morning. Felix took very good care of me and made sure I had enough galloping on the beach to make it a fabulous, memorable ride. I would do it again any time I could. The water is beautiful and the beach has very few people or buildings on it. We stopped to rest the horses and have some water; other beverages, food available. Vendors selling souvenirs, braiding hair, massage for neck/shoulders, monkey for pics. Bring cash if you are interested in this. Be sure to tip your guide generously, as this is his full time job!

    Beach Horseback Riding in Puerto Plata: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Plata.

    How much does Beach Horseback Riding in Puerto Plata cost?

    +

    Prices start at $69 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 Riding in Puerto Plata take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.3 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 Riding in Puerto Plata worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 26 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 Riding in Puerto Plata?

    +

    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 Riding in Puerto Plata suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Beach Horseback Riding in Puerto Plata?

    +

    Around 9 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 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beach Horseback Riding in Puerto Plata 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.
