Hotel pickup, safety gear, water stations, and a Dominican buffet are included. Expect mud, some waiting, and a full day outdoors.

“Be prepared to have a lot of fun and get muddy! Very muddy! Wear old clothing, shoes and bring a bandana for your face. The zip lines are fun but definitely catch you with a jolt on the end or you may get stuck a few feet from the end but have no fear they will come quickly and bring you in. The horse back riding is definitely beginner friendly. The buffet lunch was very good but we had little time to eat. Well it was a great day the only down side is that your are rushed from one activity to the next.”

You’ll ride with a local guide from Rancho Macao toward Playa Macao, stopping at a typical Dominican home for coffee and hot chocolate. The outing includes a beach visit, river encounter, safety helmet, and round-trip transport. Guides may include Jeff and José. Plan for dust, limited beach time, and a schedule that can run longer than three hours.

“The transport and the guide were decent, Horse riding is mostly on the same route as the buggy. Dust, pollution, and noise form the backdrop of the buggy traffic. Macao Beach is dirty. staying there just 10 minutes. But getting back and waiting another 1 hour until everyone was back.. In total riding the horse was actually short,les then hour and a half hours . .. but From pick up to drop off it was about 5 hours 😒”
