Horseback Beach Riding from Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa for resort guests

Horseback beach riding from Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa — 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 Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa entrance in Bávaro (~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. Bávaro and Arena Gorda hotels are 15–20 min from the ranch via the Friusa cut — short enough to add the ride as a 4-hour half-day to a free morning, no full-day commitment. Who it's for: Families and couples across the Palladium complex (Bavaro/Punta Cana/Palace), Spanish/Italian/UK markets, repeat Palladium guests. Each Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa 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 Grand Palladium Punta Cana Resort & Spa by 1 PM for lunch. The Grand Palladium complex has 3 lobbies and one of them adds 8 min by itself — we always pick up at the main Bávaro entrance gate to skip the inner-complex one-way loop.
