Horseback Beach Riding from Iberostar Selection Bávaro for resort guests

Horseback beach riding from Iberostar Selection Bávaro — 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 Iberostar Selection Bávaro entrance in Bávaro (~22 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 in Selection/Suites, Iberostar Horizons repeat guests, European multi-week travellers. Each Iberostar Selection Bávaro 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 Iberostar Selection Bávaro by 1 PM for lunch. Iberostar Selection Bávaro is the closest family-side resort to Cabeza de Toro — 12 min to the catamarans, so Saona starts at 7 AM with the kids fully fed, not eating a banana in the van.
