Laid-back & exciting excursion
If you want a low-key & and relaxing excursion. This is it!! From the moment my girlfriend and I stepped foot on the ranch everyone was extremely friendly. The place inside is filled with beautiful art all over the walls, trinkets and jewelery to buy. What really fascinated me was the artwork that was made up recycled tires. If you have no experience with riding horses its ok! The tour guides were extremely helpful & funny. They give you a run-down on how to "drive" your horse. While riding, the guides are all riding next to you and behind you making you feel super comfortable. If your horse decides to pick up speed they will help slow down for you. Along the way to the beach youll see some animals. Horses, cows, bulls. Etc. Horses are all extremely well trained and beautiful!! Riding horses on the beach was breathtaking. Such a tranquil excursion to do. Everyone was so chill. They gave us time once we got to the beach to swim, take pictures and rehydrate. Once we got back to the ranch. They served us the best tasting fresh fruit and let us look at the pictures they staff took. Another plus, this excursion comes with your own paparazzi! (You buy the photo package at the end, so worth it!) The woman in charge was a sweetheart and you can tell she loves her job. Extremely personal and gave us a safe feeling. Which is important because we are all tourists! I recommend bringing a small bookbag for water, phone, cash for pictures and tips for the tour guides or jewerly, bug spray and sun block. Also, be prepared to be sore in some areas. All in all. 10/10 experience. Can't wait to do it again.
Response from the operator: Thank you, hope see you soon again.

You must live this experience
An incredible experience, the guides are super friendly and attentive, they treat you super well, the complete experience is beautiful, the driver picks you up at the hotel, he is super friendly and explains everything about their culture and historical places, then you are received by a super friendly and attentive boy at the ranch, Sandra is the owner of the place, a sweet and friendly woman, she makes you feel at home. The horses are super calm and trained, they also have them in excellent condition, they take care of them and love them very much, in short I highly recommend it, an unforgettable experience. I'll be back. 🇩🇴
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review, and we hope that you will come back for another ride. Sandra is a guide on our Ranch, not the owner. She takes care of all our guests, who are on tour with her, give them a lot of information and make the ride to a unique experience.

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Puerto Plata: Hotel Pick up Beach Horseback Ride & Swim Horse: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Plata.
How much does Puerto Plata: Hotel Pick up Beach Horseback Ride & Swim Horse cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 Puerto Plata: Hotel Pick up Beach Horseback Ride & Swim Horse take?
+
Plan for about 3.8 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 Puerto Plata: Hotel Pick up Beach Horseback Ride & Swim Horse worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 50 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 Puerto Plata: Hotel Pick up Beach Horseback Ride & Swim Horse?
+
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 Puerto Plata: Hotel Pick up Beach Horseback Ride & Swim Horse suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Puerto Plata: Hotel Pick up Beach Horseback Ride & Swim Horse?
+
Around 18 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 3.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Puerto Plata: Hotel Pick up Beach Horseback Ride & Swim Horse 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.
