Amazing 3-Hour Horseback Riding at Puerto Plata with Pickup

Great guides and beautiful beaches. Perfect family outing!

Was a nice outing for my Bday!!

This was definitely an “interesting experience” from start to finish. It seems sketchy from the pick up to drop off but all of it works out in the end. The pickup is slightly unclear and outside the port which can be a walk. Make sure you have WhatsApp or a way to contact the driver. The van takes you to a spot about 10 mins from the port. It was very muddy when we went (rains days prior) so dress accordingly and be prepared to possibly get a little wet. They ask $60 for photos that you can take better on your phone (honestly). You can negotiate the price though. Overall, it was a nice ride and you do go along the beach and get to take pictures. Worth it only if you actually enjoy horseback riding and it is about 3 hours.

Our family of six had a wonderful experience with Anthony’s Info Tours on the Horseback Riding Adventure from Jungle to Beach. My husband and I traveled with our four kids (ages 11, 9, 7, and 6), and it ended up being one of the highlights of our stop on the island. After walking off our cruise ship and exiting the port area, we easily met a member of Anthony’s team just outside the cruise entrance. Everything was well organized from there. Pepo picked us up and drove us into the jungle where the horses were waiting. The team was ready for us when we arrived, helmets were provided and they helped everyone get comfortably settled on their horses, which was especially reassuring with younger kids. They even had 2 younger helpers that rode with our 2 youngest kids which brought us a lot of comfort. The ride through the jungle and down to the beach was beautiful and felt like a really immersive way to experience the island. Our kids absolutely loved it. Once we reached the beach, we stopped for lunch. The snapper fish was fantastic, definitely a highlight of the meal. The piña coladas weren’t our favorite, but the overall experience and setting more than made up for it. One of the guides also took photos during the ride and offered them for purchase afterward. We didn’t end up buying them, but it was nice to have the option. Communication with Anthony before and during the excursion was excellent. On the way back, Pepo even stopped at an ATM so we could get cash to tip the team, which we appreciated. If I had one suggestion, it would be to plan ahead for tips or possibly include them in the booking price. We paid $450 through TripAdvisor for the excursion and tipped $100 in cash. Photos were available for $60. Lunch was $60 cash, no credit cards were accepted. Overall, this was a fantastic family-friendly adventure. Our kids had a blast, the team was kind and helpful, and it was a memorable way to explore the island beyond the cruise port. We’d absolutely recommend it to other families looking for a unique and active shore excursion.

Lovely riding tour in both rainforest and beach. The horses were nice and the saddles comfortable 😅. Helmets didn't exist, which might be good to know.

This was a great experience. Super fun! I'm usually not a big fan of horses, but the guides made it a very awesome tour

Had lots of fun, we were riding through beaches, ranches, a fantastic short trip. The path was muggy, suggest to wear dark pants.

He was beautiful tour day with horses how do like it what missing just snuck and water thank you for the tour. will come back

The horseback riding wee pretty fun. The tour boys are very knowledgeable and speak English fluently made the tour was so smooth. We love this horseback during better than the one we just took in Honduras. However, the reason I didn’t give full 5 stars because the location where to get/meer the horses is so not profesional

We wee picked up an a hot day by a guy who had no AC in his car. We were dropped off on the side of the road where two locals were standing under a tree with 4 horses. We rod the horses down this dirt road that eventually opened up to a beach. The horseback riding was barely an hour and most of the time was spent riding the horses to and back from the beach. We maybe spent 20 min riding on the beach.
