Puerto Plata Horseback Ride to Waterfall

Adventure
3h 30min
Moderate
Max 20

Ride horseback through the Dominican countryside to a hidden jungle waterfall, splashing through shallow streams and riding past cacao plantations along the way. The horses are calm and experienced with beginners, and the trail guides keep the pace easy. At the waterfall, you'll dismount, swim in the natural pool, and take in the lush tropical setting before riding back. The ranch is about 20-25 minutes from port. Helmets are provided and the safety briefing covers basics for first-time riders. The trail is uneven in places, so this isn't a paved-path pony ride — it's a real countryside experience. Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes that can get muddy. Restrooms are available at the ranch but not at the waterfall. This excursion is wonderful for nature lovers, adventure seekers, and couples looking for a unique shared experience. Families with kids over 8-10 do well here. Not appropriate for anyone with significant mobility limitations or back problems. The combination of horseback riding and a jungle waterfall swim creates one of the most memorable port day stories you'll bring home.
