“The experience at La Hacienda was excellent. The loss of stars in the review lie with the host. She turned up on time and had my name and my friends on her clip board but told me that I wouldn't get in with my phone booking as the actual names weren't showing. I asked to go back to the room for the printed versions to check and she said no. Was hurried to get on coach despite us having 5 mins. So my friend had to abandon getting water form the cafe. 1 hour to collect other passengers from hotels then a good further hour without water was uncomfortable in…”

7.Horseback Riding and ATV or Buggy to Water Cave and Macao Beach

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 533 reviews · from $76

Ride a horse through Dominican farmland, then drive your own ATV or buggy along rough country roads to an organic farm, a 25-foot freshwater cave, and Macao Beach. Guides such as Joshua, Gary, Reginald, and Vladimir have earned praise for keeping groups together. Expect mud, crowds, and a short horseback segment rather than a long beach ride.

“Did this over my birthday trip with friends and family to the DR. While we did enjoy the activity as a whole, the horseback experience did not live up to expectations. The photos promoting that activity shows you literally on the beach coastline. That was NOT what we received. It was more of a road behind the beach with beach views. We did not go on the actual beach itself and the ride lasted 10 minutes at best. Please read carefully as we didn’t know that or that the water cave visit was in and out. You jump in, climb out and head back to your ATV or buggy. All…”

Whilst we wait around for pictures Our driver Carlos made it even better. Was very patient waiting for my sister. Even though he said he spoke very little English he was able to express himself well and converse . Carlos also put me on to great Dominican music after our excursion.

Ride for two hours from the countryside to the beach near Punta Cana, with a local guide leading you through palm trees and lush vegetation. Guides such as Henry, Raul, Junior, and Steve help riders along the way. Pickup, water, coconut water, and time for beach photos are included.

“Transportation was prompt and hassle free. Friendly driver (Henry) with a comfortable vehicle. Horses were well trained, healthy and easy to ride. Scenery was amazing. Guide did not speak English, provided no safety training or preparation, just started the ride with little communication. Photos offered were very overpriced. Facility was a bit rundown but adequate. We were shocked by the amount of trash along the beach, but that is not the tour operator's fault at all. No place to store personal items during the ride, so whatever you bring will be with you on the horse. Riders should only bring essential items. Overall this was a great experience and we…”
