Horseback Beach Riding from Occidental Caribe for Occidental Caribe guests
Horseback beach riding from Occidental Caribe — 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 Occidental Caribe entrance in Arena Gorda (~15 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. Occidental Caribe is the smartest value-play hotel in Arena Gorda — and the excursion math works the same way. We send the same Saona boat as the 5-star resorts at the actual operator price.
