Punta Cana
Horseback Beach Riding from Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana for resort guests
Horseback beach riding from Moon Palace The Grand 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 Moon Palace The Grand 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: Palace Resorts loyalty guests, 2,000-suite mega-resort travellers (opened June 2026), families and adults-only couples splitting between the family tower and the adults-only wing, US/CA charter groups doing 6–7 night stays. Each Moon Palace The Grand 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 Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana by 1 PM for lunch. Moon Palace The Grand Punta Cana is the newest Macao-side mega-resort with 2,000+ suites, on-site casino, Awe Spa and a FlowRider surf simulator — we pick up at the dedicated Palace Tour Desk side entrance (not the main lobby) so a 2,000-room hotel doesn't bottleneck your 6:30 AM Saona departure, and route Cabeza de Toro transfers via the Macao Bypass instead of the slow Cortecito coastal road.
