Good to know
Know before you go
Tickets cover ages 4 to 80 with an adult required in the booking. Riding isn't recommended during pregnancy or with spinal injuries. It's also unsuitable for travelers with poor cardiovascular health.
Riding equipment is provided at the ranch. You meet your horse and guide before heading out along the trail. Choose the pace that fits your experience when discussing the ride with your guide.
Hotel collection is scheduled 30 minutes ahead of your ride. Your selected departure is the riding time. The transfer covers Punta Cana and Bávaro, with Cap Cana and Uvero Alto also included.
A weather cancellation gives you another date or a full refund. Keep a spare day in your stay if riding matters to you. That leaves room to accept another date.
You get a full refund when you cancel at least 24 hours before departure. Later cancellations aren't refundable. The deadline is tied to the ride's departure, so your earlier hotel pickup doesn't change it.
Your ticket is mobile only. Each booking can contain up to 15 travelers and must include an adult. That booking limit doesn't tell you how many riders will join the shared departure.
