Horseback riding in Puerto Plata is a beach ride on the sand west of the city with a swim on the horse at the end, or a sunset version of it, and at the adventure parks inland the horses are one stage of a day with ziplines. We picked 6 riding tours by hand, read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is the sunset beach ride from €63 per person; the most expensive are the full day adventure passes that stack riding with ATVs, ziplines and the Damajagua falls.
The horses are small Dominican criollos led at a walk with a guide, so the rides suit first timers and children above the minimum age on the listing, and there is a weight limit stated by each stable. The swim on horseback is in the shallows with the saddle off. Hotel pickup from Playa Dorada, Sosúa and Cabarete is included on the beach rides, and the adventure parks collect cruise passengers at the ports.
