    1. Grupo Puntacana

      The trip begins with a horseback ride through the tropical forest of PuntaCana Resort & Club. Like nature, riding through the forests and the beautiful beaches of the Caribbean Sea, we arrive at our Horse Room for a snack on the seashore, surrounded by mangroves and crystal clear waters, where we will have the unique and exclusive experience of swimming with the horses. in these. Our experience continues towards the “Indigenous Eyes” Ecological Reserve, a place where the Taino Indians have lived since before the discovery of the “New World” by the navigator Christopher Columbus. The vegetation and the cobbled paths guide us towards the natural springs of transparent waters, which ripple in shades of turquoise, as the sun recedes from the treetops, allowing us to appreciate and enjoy this incomparable natural beauty.

    EXCELLENT !!!

    I had a great time at Excellence El Carmen in Punta Cana from the shuttle at the airport to the clean room and accommodations. This was my first all inclusive experience and there was no lack of anything & it was a place filled with plenty. Each staff person Adriano, Juan Luis, Jean P, Keila, Charlie, Erica, and also the young lady at the bakery, coffee shop who always knew how to make my coffee. There were so many others that made us feel special because they genuinely paid attention to details and the service we received was phenomenal. We felt appreciated whenever they greeted us and whenever we said hello to them or they greeted us their response was always the same, every time they would respond by saying "Excellent". Finally I must say I enjoyed the dancing, entertainment and the food for our special D.R. dinner Event which was also "excellent". I really look forward to going back again.

    Total Waste of Time, Money, and Energy. Avoid at All Costs!

    Absolutely terrible communication. Paid $400 for a tour and not even any attempt at communicating pick up. Messages were completely ignored. Called them 3 times with no response. Their customer service is far far below the standards set by other operators in the area. Think twice before booking anything with Gray Line tour operators. They need to have some serious self-reflection and work harder to actually do the bare minimum.

    Response from the operator: We sincerely apologize for your experience. This is not the standard of service we aim to provide, and we understand your frustration regarding the lack of pickup communication and response. We have shared your feedback internally to review what went wrong and to improve our communication processes. Thank you for bringing this to our attention—it helps us do better.

    Amazing Experience

    An amazing experience. All the staff was wonderful. Horses seemed healthy and I’m hoping they truly are well cared for.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear you had an amazing experience and that our staff made a positive impression. The well-being of our horses is very important to us, and they are truly well cared for. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon.

    Greg and Ronnie Swimming with the horses

    The vendor website doesn’t give you specific information about what to bring. Wear a swimsuit there and you can bring a change of clothing. They have secure free lockers. You can bring a phone. When you actually swim with the horses you can set your phone on a bench. If you’re with someone have them take a video and picture of you. The photographer rides along taking pictures of you. The sell a picture package at the end $40 each. You can not buy individual pictures. The guides are super nice and helpful very professional and patient. Please tip as they work very hard 😎❤️

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to know you had such a positive experience and that our guides made you feel comfortable throughout the activity. We also appreciate your detailed feedback about the lockers, photos, and recommendations — it’s very helpful for future guests. Your recognition means a lot to our team, who work hard every day to create unforgettable moments. We truly hope to welcome you back soon for another amazing adventure! Warm regards,

    Swimming with Horses at the Beach from Punta Cana Free transportation: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Cana.

    How much does Swimming with Horses at the Beach from Punta Cana Free transportation cost?

    +

    Prices start at $119 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 Swimming with Horses at the Beach from Punta Cana Free transportation 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 Punta Cana is not rushed.

    Is Swimming with Horses at the Beach from Punta Cana Free transportation worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 25 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Punta Cana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Swimming with Horses at the Beach from Punta Cana Free transportation?

    +

    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 Swimming with Horses at the Beach from Punta Cana Free transportation 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 Swimming with Horses at the Beach from Punta Cana Free transportation?

    +

    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 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Swimming with Horses at the Beach from Punta Cana Free transportation 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, Buggy Excursion to Macau Beach and Natural Cave, Small Group Buggy Tour to Water Cave and Macao Beach. 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.
