Trade the resort pool for wind, surf and a horse’s rhythm on this coastal ride from Punta Cana. Guides match horses to skill levels as you trot, canter or stroll along largely undeveloped Macao and Uvero Alto beaches.
The ride begins where wind and surf meet the sand: a small countryside ranch north of Punta Cana, horses shifting and breathing as guides tighten saddles. Riders leave the resort strip behind and move through palm-fringed lanes toward wide, largely empty beaches. The ocean keeps time—waves urging a steady trot, the breeze wiping salt across your face—as you canter along the firm wet sand toward the mouth of the small Boca de Maimon river before looping back.

The ride begins where wind and surf meet the sand: a small countryside ranch north of Punta Cana, horses shifting and breathing as guides tighten saddles. Riders leave the resort strip behind and move through palm-fringed lanes toward wide, largely empty beaches. The ocean keeps time—waves urging a steady trot, the breeze wiping salt across your face—as you canter along the firm wet sand toward the mouth of the small Boca de Maimon river before looping back.
This stretch of coastline sits on limestone bedrock carved by Caribbean swell; the beaches here were long-used by coastal farmers and small fishing communities rather than large port development, giving the shore an open, undeveloped feel. Local guides often point out reef fragments and tidal pools where shorebirds feed, and you’ll glimpse rural life—scattered casitas, coconut groves, and the occasional livestock corral—between the ranch and surf.
Practical notes: guides assess every rider and fit horses to ability, so no prior experience is required. Expect 60–120 minutes in the saddle depending on your booking, plus transit time. Wear closed-toe shoes, sun protection, and bring water; helmets are provided. Rides are best timed for morning or late afternoon when the sand is firm and temperatures are cooler. Respect nesting areas and follow your guide’s instructions when approaching the river mouth or cantering—these stretches can be fun but demand attention. The tour combines a short nature lesson, hands-on riding time, and easy coastal exploration—ideal for travelers who want an active half-day outside the hotels.
