Swimming with Horses at the Beach from Punta Cana Free transportation

Really had a great time. The staff was friendly. Make sure if you are wearing short shorts or swimming attire you bring a towel to lay over the saddle to help prevent inner thigh burn.

As someone who grew up riding horses and playing Polo I both loved and struggled with this excursion. The way it worked for us was you arrived, got on your horses and rode through a wooded area for 45 minutes. There is a short span where you can walk along the beach. Then we got to the bay where you swim with the horses. Here you take a little break with some snacks and then you get to swim. You go around a circled area for probably around 3 minutes total. After that you ride the horses another 30-45 minutes back and they let you feed a few of the horses in the stable.

It's always special for me to ride in another country and it was. However, our guide seemed annoyed by questions and conversation. He also wouldn't let people who had experience riding horses do anything. It was a hot 45 minute walk/slow trot to get to the water. This part of the tour should have been shorter with more time in the water. Out of the three horses chosen for us to swim on only one of them seemed skilled. The other two struggled in the water. My horse, DeLacey in particular brought it's head up repeatedly which busted my lower lip and bent my sunglasses. You can only hold onto a martingale like band around their neck anyway so I wasn't pulling the horse's head up by mistake. After that happened I asked to ride a 2nd horse named Olas or Olaf - he was an excellent swimmer but I only got to go on him for a minute.

As I said before, I love riding horses but this experience was not worth the money to me. We paid $220 USD.

I gave an excellent rating, because it was!!!
Here's the improvements I would like to see the next time I come...
You need a photographer! This excursion is much better if someone else is taking the pictures. Also, I would like to see video of myself riding the trails and in the water with the horse. That's it for my suggestions.
Now! Let me tell you Josh and the crew did an awesome job! This was an absolutely AMAZING EXPERIENCE! The horses seem well taken care of and well trained! Our guide kept us entertained and informed about what to expect! I will be back!!!
RJ the quiet one!

I wish I had pictures to share, but I don’t because the local vendor never showed up. Waited in the lobby for an hour and tried to call their number to no avail. They never answered. Just got a refund sent with absolutely no explanation of why they never showed.

I went, bright and early to ride a horse that would take me to a private beach so that I could swim with said horse, whose name, by the way, was Jamaica. I, which was to be expected, could not dominate the horse so it had to be led by another man so it was quite an interesting experience and also good for one's back, or so I've heard. We rode, we swam, It was quite exciting. I was giving up for the most part but the guides kept pushing me to keep going and I ended up doing everything that was expected of us, including feeding two horses a bit. It was a lovely sunny day. We also walked around and looked at the different fruit plants and also drank some MamaJuana!
