Not what we expected -
The experience was definitely not what my wife and I expected. The person who picked us up never got out of the car, which was also quite dirty. We actually had to call the local vendor to find out who was supposed to pick us up. As first-time visitors or unfamiliar with the area, the experience felt intimidating. The tour starts at a very poor ranch that looked neglected, and we didn't know what to expect. We were also the only participants on the tour. Instead of feeling like an enjoyable excursion, the whole experience felt more like, "Let's just do this and get out of here." In my opinion, this location is not what I would expect from an experience advertised on TripAdvisor. On a positive note, our guide was very friendly, attentive, and always made sure we were comfortable. He had a great attitude throughout the tour. Unfortunately, the road from the ranch to the beach was in poor condition and littered with trash, including remains of fire pits, plastic bottles, and other debris. This took away from the overall experience.

Good
It was a good experience, the stuff was really nice and made sure we are safe. However, you might end up getting an old horse which may ruin your experience and your pictures.

Do no go! Horrible tour.
Avoid. 3 hour horseback ride was actually 2 hours of hard sell of crap. 1 hour on horses and never went into ocean as promised. Waste of money. AVOID.

Driver never turned up,...
Driver never turned up, no messages sent to me despite me trying to communicate and I kept messaging and ringing after an hour he replied and said tomorrow and again I waited for him the next day for her 2 hours sent many many messages and called many times and still haven’t heard anything

Terrible people
This was a terrible booking. The morning of I spent hours contacting them and calling them for pickup instructions no reply. I decided to wait outside anyways and no one came. They never replied the next day to apologize or offer me a new booking. They won’t even reply to give me a refund. Scammers and bad business.

Why this scores 44
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Horse back riding (Punta Cana/Bavaro): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Cana.
How much does Horse back riding (Punta Cana/Bavaro) cost?
+
Prices start at $64 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Punta Cana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Horse back riding (Punta Cana/Bavaro) take?
+
Plan for about 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 Punta Cana is not rushed.
Is Horse back riding (Punta Cana/Bavaro) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Punta Cana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Horse back riding (Punta Cana/Bavaro)?
+
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 Horse back riding (Punta Cana/Bavaro) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Horse back riding (Punta Cana/Bavaro)?
+
Around 5 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 Punta Cana 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 Punta Cana and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Horse back riding (Punta Cana/Bavaro) 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 Punta Cana 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 Punta Cana?
+
On Outty we rank every Punta Cana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Punta Cana Zipline - 8 lines and a suspenseful hanging bridge, Punta Cana Buggy or ATV Tour with Macao Beach, Cave and Tastings, Buggy Excursion to Macau Beach and Natural Cave. 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 Punta Cana?
+
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 Punta Cana?
+
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.
