Not as advertised - not on the beach, too many upsells
You will get to ride horses. You won’t be riding them on the beach. You will get to ride horses on the road, while dodging other buggies driving in the street. Before we got to ride any horses, we received a sales pitch for various magnets and souvenirs at the dropoff point. We then took a detour on the way to the beach for a twenty minute sales pitch for more souvenirs. When we got to the beach, we didn’t get to ride the horses there, instead just waiting at the beach for fifteen minutes before turning around. In this time, five different people approached us to try to sell us more things. On the way home, our driver made us stop at yet another souvenir store. We waited in the parking lot for twenty minutes before half of the van got fed up and took Ubers home. Ultimately this excursion feels like a gauntlet of souvenir stores. You’ll ride horses, but it certainly won’t be on the beach.

Absolutely horrible!
This was the worse experience! To start with the driver came over one hour late because he was sent to the wrong hotel. Our reservation was for 6 people, but only 3 horses were there when we arrived. We waited over an hour for them to bring three more horses. The horses looked sickly and malnourished. The horse I got kept trying to eat the branches and push up against the shrub and the Bobwire. I ended up slicing up my leg. We finally got to the beach and I was able to rinse the wound and put some antiseptic. We were promised a ride back and to wait for the owner 1.5 later still never showed up. The two hour excursion turned out to be a whole day. I had to pay my ride back to our hotel. Supposedly the cab was waiting for us and left before we rode back with horses. I talked to Pablo “cab driver” he was only to give us a ride there not a ride back to the hotel so the people of the workers lied to us. Worst experience ever!

We are truly sorry to hear that the excursion did not meet your expectations, especially due to the delay and the services that were not delivered as promised.

Extremely disappointed and uncomfortable
Set this excursion up through trip Advisor. Added hotel pick up information prior to the trip. 8am pick up time. We were outside waiting prior to pick up time. Waited 30 minutes and our bellhop called the company. Said driver was already there and no one was outside. Sent a picture of the vehicle, and the background wasn't our hotel. They sent another driver 45 minutes after original pickup time. We were taken to a remote gas station where they had a man on a horse dragging two other horses behind him. We asked where the ranch was, and we were told they always bring the horses to the gas station. When we got close to the horses, we noticed how underweight they were with numerous scars on their body. We were told to get on the horses so we could go. We proceeded to cross a four lane highway and down a gravel road for 15 minutes. We rode to a beach and were there two minutes and told to dismount. For the next 45 minutes we were hounded by vendors or solicitors trying to get you to buy their items. Back on the horse and this time told to get off the horses at a bus stop, where our driver met us to take us back to our hotel. None of this is as described in the description of this excursion. We felt extremely uncomfortable. I would also have filed a complaint for animal cruelty with the condition of these horses. Extremely disappointed in the whole experience.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We fully understand your disappointment regarding the delay and the missing services during the excursion. This is not representative of the standards we aim to uphold, and we truly regret the inconvenience caused. Your feedback has been shared with our operations team so we can identify what went wrong and take appropriate action to prevent similar situations in the future. We sincerely hope to have the chance to make it up to you and provide a better experience next time. Please feel free to contact us directly at xtremetoursrd617@gmail.com, we are here to listen. Kind regards, The Extreme Tours RD

Overall great experience
Our driver Daris was very nice and looked out for us which we appreciated. The horseback riding was fun, it was nice getting to hang out on the beach although we would have liked to ride the horses on the beach more. Our tour guide did a good job of coaching us. Chris took some great pictures of us. Overall great experience. I would recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear Customer Thank you so much for your kind and positive review! The entire team at Extreme Tours RD is thrilled to hear that you had such a great time on your excursion and that our service met — or even exceeded — your expectations.

We truly hope to welcome you back soon for another amazing experience in the Dominican Republic! Warm regards, The Extreme Tours RD Team

Why this scores 63
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Horseback riding along Macao beach from Punta Cana: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Cana.
How much does Horseback riding along Macao beach from Punta Cana cost?
+
Prices start at $65 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 Horseback riding along Macao beach from Punta Cana 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 Horseback riding along Macao beach from Punta Cana worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 47 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 Horseback riding along Macao beach from Punta Cana?
+
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 Horseback riding along Macao beach from Punta Cana 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 Horseback riding along Macao beach from Punta Cana?
+
Around 16 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 Horseback riding along Macao beach from Punta Cana 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.
