The day
How does the day work?
Hotel collection brings you to a working cattle ranch for a guided ride before the return transfer.
- 1
Travel to the ranch
Your hotel transfer reaches Rancho Cana Tequila before the ride. The collection time is arranged ahead of the outing.
- 2
Riding instructions
Staff explain the safety rules and riding basics before you mount. Your group has no more than ten riders out at once.
- 3
Across the farm
The guided route crosses open ground and wooded areas. Cattle work forms part of the ranch experience, with guides supervising the ride.
- 4
Back at the stables
The ride returns to the stables. Morning guests have lunch before the transfer back from the ranch.
The 5-hour program includes transport to and from the ranch. It isn't five hours in the saddle. Your ride finishes at the stables before the return transfer.
Pickup and meeting point
- Hotel collection: Pickup hotels include Breathless Punta Cana and Dreams Onyx. Four Points by Sheraton Puntacana is another collection option.
- Collection time: Check the pickup time with Rancho Cana Tequila before the outing. Hotel collection starts before the selected tour time, so that time isn't your lobby meeting time.
- Riding clothes: Long pants are recommended for the ranch. Comfortable shoes such as sneakers or boots suit the outing, and casual clothing is the dress code.
Before you book
- Wear jeans or long pants for your ride. The countryside option doesn't include the separate private beach tour.

Good to know
Know before you go
Jeans or other long pants are recommended for the ride. Wear comfortable shoes such as sneakers or boots. Your route crosses a working ranch, so dress for riding through fields rather than for a beach visit.
A helmet and bottled water are provided at the ranch. You'll receive riding instructions before mounting your horse. Your guide then accompanies the route through open ground and wooded areas on the working cattle property.
Tickets are available for children ages 5 to 12 and adults ages 13 to 70. The ride isn't recommended during pregnancy or for spinal injuries. Poor cardiovascular health is another reason to skip this horseback outing.
Hotel collection begins before the activity's start time. Your exact pickup needs arranging with Rancho Cana Tequila, since it depends on your accommodation. The 8 a.m. departure therefore isn't the time to wait for a vehicle at every hotel.
A companion who doesn't ride pays separately for transport and lunch. That arrangement isn't included free with your riding ticket. Check it with the ranch before adding a nonrider to your hotel's pickup plans for the day.
Mobile-ticket bookings hold 1 to 15 travelers and need an adult. A minimum-participant condition applies, without a stated headcount. Your cancellation is fully refundable at least 24 hours before departure, with no refund available inside that window.

People also ask
- What does the Rancho Cana Tequila horseback outing cost?
The ranch excursion costs from $99 per adult. Your helmet and water are provided, with hotel pickup included in the option. Lunch comes with the morning ride, so an afternoon booking shouldn't be treated as the same meal arrangement.
- How long is the Rancho Cana Tequila horseback excursion?
The outing lasts 5 hours including transport to and from the ranch. You receive instructions before riding through its open and wooded land. The duration isn't all saddle time, so leave room in your plans for the return journey.
- Which Rancho Cana Tequila departure includes lunch?
The 8 a.m. morning outing includes lunch. A 2 p.m. departure also runs daily, but the lunch inclusion is tied to the morning visit. Book the earlier option if you'd like your meal arranged as part of the ranch day.
- How many people ride together at Rancho Cana Tequila?
Riding groups have 10 people or fewer. The reservation system accepts up to 15 travelers, which doesn't mean everyone rides in one group. Your party should settle riding arrangements with the ranch if staying together throughout the route matters.
- Can children book Rancho Cana Tequila's horseback ride?
Yes, tickets start at age 5. The child rate covers up to three children ages 5 to 12 per reservation. You'll need an adult in the booking. Arrange larger family bookings with the ranch.
