Horseback Beach Riding from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana for resort guests

Horseback beach riding from Hard Rock Hotel & Casino 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 Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana entrance in Macao (~10 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. From Macao you're already in horse country — the ranch is a flat 8–10 min back-road run, so we can offer same-day sunrise + sunset double sessions if a serious rider wants the long version. Who it's for: Big groups, bachelor/bachelorette parties and music-loving couples who already bought into the Hard Rock energy. Each Hard Rock Hotel & Casino 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 Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Punta Cana by 1 PM for lunch. We pick up at the main Hard Rock lobby (not the Eden tower) — security waves the van through and you skip the 12-min inner-resort loop most desks burn at 6 AM.
