    Absolutely amazing, will be coming back

    This experience was nothing less than great. Donal ensured we had an excellent time. The meet up point was a little walk outside the port. Once we met, we drove to Monkeyland where is more than that. They have live cigar rolling demonstrations as well as cocoa and coffee making demonstrations. After, we drove down to the ranch where we did our horseback riding. The rode through the country side in the forest on on the beach where our guides picked fresh fruits such as mangos, passion fruit, guava, and more straight from the trees for us to enjoy and eat while we ride. After our ride we sat back and drank coconut water from the coconuts complimentary of the tour. This is a must book tour, you won’t regret it.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful review! 🌴🐒🐎 We’re thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience with **TurisTravels, a local tour operator in Puerto Plata**. We’re especially happy that Donal made your day enjoyable and that you loved the combination of **Monkeyland Puerto Plata and horseback riding**. Our goal is to give guests more than just a tour—we want them to experience the local culture, countryside, nature, fresh tropical fruits, coconut water, coffee, cocoa, and the authentic beauty of Puerto Plata. Thank you for highlighting the fresh fruit and coconut experience along the horseback ride! These are exactly the kind of local touches we love sharing with our guests. If you’re visiting Puerto Plata again, we’d be delighted to show you even more of what our beautiful destination has to offer. Thank you for choosing **TurisTravels for your Puerto Plata excursion** and for recommending us to other travelers! 🇩🇴❤️

    This one is a No Go.

    The ride through the countryside was filthy. Trash everywhere. We rode on the beach about 2 minutes. It was trashy also. Our horses were small. The guide, Ariel, was very nice, but I can not recommend this excursion.

    Response from the operator: We would like to clarify that this customer did not participate in a tour with our company. It appears there was a misunderstanding or error regarding their booking experience.

    Great massage at Ying Yang Spa, Lifestyles Holiday Vacation Club, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

    This is a repeat of the review I gave a year ago. Back again, and the massage I had today with Denisse at the Lifestyles Holidays Vacation Club resort in Puerto Plata was one of the best I have ever had. Denisse was totally professional at all times. She identified and expertly worked over my numerous knots and tight spots. She finished with more soothing strokes that left me quite

    Horseback Riding & Monkeyland Combo Tour from Puerto Plata: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Horseback Riding & Monkeyland Combo Tour from Puerto Plata cost?

    +

    Prices start at $115 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 Horseback Riding & Monkeyland Combo Tour from Puerto Plata take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Horseback Riding & Monkeyland Combo Tour from Puerto Plata worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 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 Horseback Riding & Monkeyland Combo Tour from 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 Horseback Riding & Monkeyland Combo Tour from Puerto Plata suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Horseback Riding & Monkeyland Combo Tour from Puerto Plata?

    +

    Around 1 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Horseback Riding & Monkeyland Combo Tour from 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 Puerto Plata Highlights City Tours from amber cove and Taino bay, Puerto Plata City Tour, Half Day City Tour in Puerto Plata. 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.

    What is included in Horseback Riding & Monkeyland Combo Tour from Puerto Plata?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Monkeyland; guide; and Horseback ride. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Horseback Riding & Monkeyland Combo Tour from Puerto Plata include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 163 listed pickup locations in and around Puerto Plata. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Horseback Riding & Monkeyland Combo Tour from Puerto Plata offered in?

    +
