About this experience

Enjoy a peaceful, countryside horse ranch in northern Punta Cana where you can enjoy a fun-filled time of horseback riding away from your resort. Professional guides will assess each visitor’s horseback riding experience and provide instructions about riding and controlling your horse. Your guides will accompany throughout the tour where you gallop, or stroll, along the beautiful Uvero Alto Beach. This beach is one of Punta Cana’s most sought after coastlines, far from the resorts and barely touched. After the tour is over you will receive a Local Rum bottle per booking with your photo on it as a memorable souvenir.
