Awesome excursion. The lunch provided was the best food we had on our whole vacation. The horses were well cared for. If you’re trying to decide which horseback riding excursion to do, this is the one!

Amazing experience! Booked for me and my two teenage kids and it ended up being a private ride. The horse are in good condition, the hosts are friendly, helpful, and engaging. The food was incredible and better than what we got at our resort. Very authentic Dominican experience. Not your typical nose to tail trail ride where you walk the whole time. We’re experienced riders so we went at our own pace. 100% would recommend. If you’re looking for a horseback riding tour, this is the one.

Yordan was a fantastic guide and person! He is funny and makes you feel comfortable, he also has great knowledge of horses. If you want a great long horse riding experience in the nature of DR you should book this excursion!

We drove into the mountains onto private property for the trail ride. The horses are very well kept and very well trained. The trail included riding on curving dirt roads, crossing creeks, going through coconut groves, and meandering meadows with the most beautiful mountain views I've ever seen!!! We finished the trail and some riding companions took a cooling dip in the fresh riverwater fed pool. Lunch was included and was simply delicious, giving us an added glimpse of the warmth and beauty this region has to offer!! It was a breathtaking experience and I am so glad I added it to my vacation.

The guide was very nice however we were very dessapointed with the expérience. The horses were not well trained at all. My wife expressed she was not à good rider and ended up with the crasiest Horse there. They did not supply helmets as stated in the add. One Horse was injures and bleeding. There was no safety concernant for any rideers

We had Jordan as our tour guide, and we can not speak more highly about this experience. Jordan was personable, it really felt like we were just hanging out with a friend for the day; he is awesome. The whole experience was very laid back and relaxed; we rode up the mountains to the top lookout, and then back down. The whole way up and down, Jordan would point out the plant life. We tried cacao and coconut water straight from the trees while on horseback. He took us to an authentic Dominican lunch at a Dominican House - the food was delicious. The day was packed, and we have zero complaints; it couldn’t have been more perfect. 10/10 recommend.

Great afternoon riding with my daughter, beautiful scenery and Arturo was a fantastic guide and told us so much about the Dominican Republic, a great way to get away from Punta Cana and see the real DR. Highly recommended.

Arturo was incredible, we can’t say enough good about this experience! We’ve done other rides and feel this is best horse ride experience in Punta Cana. Excellent driver, great service and an overall amazing experience, book this now with confidence! The horses are cared for and treated very well. The ride was filled with amazing views and was a lot of fun. We aren’t proficient at riding horses but are familiar enough; Arturo ensured everyone was fitted to a horse who would be best for them. The horses are well mannered and have fun personalities adding a lot of laughs to the day. Following the ride we had a great traditional Dominican lunch of salad, rice, beans, and chicken at a local’s home before being driven back to our resort. The cook was very gracious, kind, and welcoming. The ranch is beautiful and very well maintained. The ranch is about 60 km from Bavaro and the scenery on the way is great.

My boyfriend and I went on this experience expecting horses that were well trained. It was our first time going horseback riding in general and the horses were very unsuitable in general for any tourist to ride. The horses were not listening at all to the reigns and the one guy running the tour on horse did not speak any English whatsoever. As soon as we mounted our horses they just took off on their own to wherever they felt like and bumped us into trees and other horses. It was near impossible to control them, nor were they interested in listening. I received quite a few bruises on my shoulder and legs from all the trees and palm leaves my horse ran into. My boyfriend’s horse was especially bad, it just suddenly took off with him and galloped away into the brush really quickly. He had zero experience and could have been in grave danger. Luckily he held on, but it was extremely dangerous. The one tour man had to chase after my boyfriend and I had no idea if he was safe or not. We also did not have any helmets. 3 stars was just for the view as it was in pictures, and despite the man not knowing any English, he did his best to keep our horses together and we did manage to get to the viewpoint and back. It is extremely shocking that this establishment is even allowed to operate with these types of untrained horses. We were lucky that another family from our hotel was with us, and had some riding experience to let us know this was not normal.

First off I would like to say how much I admire the workers I've encounter with and the owner. Their passion for what they do shows a lot! The communication with the company was extremely easy and very efficient! It was my first time horseback riding and Cana Tequila makes me want to come back. They're very understanding, welcoming, and care for your safety! The entire trip was beautiful. I do recommend to book the mornings as our ended up being switched, but it was for the best, the heat is no joke!!! Don't hesitate to book with Cana Tequila, you will not be disappointed!

Absolutely outstanding trip. So personal. Views of a lifetime and our guide I can now call a friend. We learned so much about the country, had a beautiful home cooked lunch. The horses were very well taken care of and were happy and healthy! Will return for sure!!!!

Arturo went above and beyond to allow me to do this excursion; I was the only one booked after others cancelled. I’d only ridden a horse once before…30+ years ago…but enjoyed this experience. Riding up/down a mountain is the real deal! The area was absolutely beautiful! Arturo was an excellent guide and even took/sent pictures of me via WhatsApp.

Jordan was awesome! We had 4 adults, was very informational, professional, picked us up at resort, rode horses up in the hills just shy of 5 miles, then took us to a local woman's house who made excellent braised chicken, salad w Rice and beans! Highly recommend!!

Yordano picked us up at the hotel right on time and drove us out to the ranch! It was a wonderful experience! The horses were all set up and ready to go for us when we got there. We jumped on the horses and we’re ready to ride! Yordano took us all through the back mountains on the ranch property and showed us the different wild fruits that grow there and even let us try some fresh mango that he shook from a tree! Very cool experience! Would highly recommend!

My husband and I were lucky enough to have a private excursion since we were the only 2 people that day. Yordan was the nicest, fun, guide and was very informative! Easy to talk to, he made it an experience to remember! The horses were so well trained and gentle, regardless of riding experience, you will definitely enjoy!

AMAZING! They were able to accommodate us on short notice and we were so glad that they did. Our guide, Yordan, and the owner, Arturo picked us up at our hotel. We proceeded to rock out to classic American rock music for the 35min drive to the ranch. Arturo (who speaks perfect English) was a wealth of knowledge and answered all of our questions. Upon our arrival the horses were all tacked up and ready to go. My 11 year old daughter is an avid rider. My wife has ridden a few times. And I haven’t been in a horse in nearly 30 years so to say that our abilities were all over the place is an understatement. The gaited horses seemed happy and healthy, and we’re pretty comfortable to ride. Most of the large and friendly staff speak little to no English. Embarrassingly, we speak even less Spanish. But between all of us we managed to overcome any communication challenges. The first few minutes on the horse were a bit intense. But with Yordan’s assistance and patience we were able work things out with our horses. Listen to your guide, relax, and trust in these majestic animals. The ride took us up a side of a relatively steep mountainside. This 1,000 acre working ranch is absolutely stunning with incredible views in every direction. An absolute heaven in earth. There were cattle, giant bulls, chickens, roosters, and horses. We also saw banana, coconut, and orange trees and an occasional pineapple plant. The ride culminates near the top of the mountain where there is a giant swing set that allows you to soar out over the edge of the mountain while soaking up the views and giving the horse a breather from carrying our butts up the mountain. The ride back down the mountain is equally gorgeous. At $99/person this was a “steal” the best $300 we will have spent in our 8 days in the DR and certainly the highlight of our trip. I would highly recommend this to anyone seeking a truly beautiful and amazing adventure. Arturo has big plans for this property. I look forward to returning again in the future.
