Horseback Beach Riding from Excellence Punta Cana for resort guests

Horseback beach riding from Excellence Punta Cana — a calm 2-hour trail from the Macao ranch through coconut groves to the wild Macao beach surf line and back. Lobby pickup at the Excellence Punta Cana entrance in Uvero Alto (~20 min to the ranch), helmet + saddle briefing, beginner-friendly horses, bilingual guides walking alongside non-riders. Sunrise (7:30 AM) and sunset (4:30 PM) departures both available — sunset is the photo slot. Flat USD 55 per rider including transfer, no upsells. Uvero Alto is only 20–25 min from the ranch via the highway, so we can pull off the sunrise slot without a brutal wake-up — pickup at 6:45 AM, in the saddle by 7:30. Who it's for: Adults-only couples, repeat Excellence guests, gourmet/à-la-carte travellers wanting upscale half-day trips. Each Excellence Punta Cana group rides as a closed pod (max 12 horses) — you don't get folded into a bigger groupon van. Riders are matched by weight and experience at the ranch: nervous first-timers get our slowest two mares (Canela and Luna), confident riders get the Paso Fino crosses that actually break into a beach canter on the return leg. Water, helmet, and printed photo (taken at the dune-top overlook) are included; no resort-desk markup, no time-share pitch on the van ride. Pair it with a Macao buggy in the morning and we drop you back at Excellence Punta Cana by 1 PM for lunch. Excellence Punta Cana is adults-only in Uvero Alto — the 4-hour catamaran party boat is the same vibe an Excellence couple already buys into, minus the resort-desk 40% markup.
