Horseback Beach Riding from Ocean El Faro for resort guests

Horseback beach riding from Ocean El Faro — 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 Ocean El Faro entrance in Uvero Alto (~28 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. Uvero Alto is only 20–25 min from the ranch via the highway, so we can pull off the sunrise slot without a brutal wake-up — pickup at 6:45 AM, in the saddle by 7:30. Who it's for: Families and couples on a value all-inclusive, European multi-week stays, repeat H10/Ocean guests. Each Ocean El Faro 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 Ocean El Faro by 1 PM for lunch. Ocean El Faro is the deepest hotel north on Uvero Alto — we leave at 6:10 AM but use the new bypass to the highway so the drive feels 35 min, not 50.
