Thanks to Nicole for this very beautiful walk! The landscapes are varied, the exit is well secured. Nicole is passionate and knew how to convey to us her love and respect for horses. Young and old had a great time!

We visited the Rancho Playa at December 2019. First we had a group expedition, which was such a nice ride that we wanted to also have a private tour for us only. The ranch and the horses are really well taken care of, Nicole (the owner) helps really well the riders with less experience as well and the location for the tour is really nice (both jungle and beach are part of the ride). Highly recommended.

What a lifetime experience.
We had a beautiful ride along the beach on very calm horses. All our guides AND Nicole were knowledgeable and super helpful.
Most importantly, the horses are well looked after and Nicole makes sure each rider has a horse which matches their skills.
Thanks soooooo much, I would always come back again.

VERY professional, helpful and nice staff
Very patient (even for beginners)
AMAZING beach horse trip, best experience in Dominicana
The trip is very interesting, you walk through amazing beaches and forests
It is very safe, also for people who are first time riding the horse

Great tours. The tour guide and owner are both extremely friendly and helpful. We had a beautiful ride through the forest and onto the beach. I would strongly recommend booking a visit.

My daughter rode twice with the lovely owners, Nicole and Sophie. The horses are clearly well cared for and the route on the trek takes in rain forest, beach, wading through water and is generally a thrill. Nothing was too much trouble and they even rang for someone to fix our punctured tyre. We have had a blast in LT and this was the icing on the cake for our daughter.

Great excursion that we did on our last day of holiday in Las Terranas. Sophie and Nicole welcomed us with smile and reassurance and gave us horses adapted to our ability and age (party of 2 adults + 1 x 17 year old + 1 x 10 year old). Mojito and Apache (2 of our horses) were adorable. Setting of Coson beach is magnificent. Good value for money. Only regret is that we did not do it at beginning of trip so we could have done it twice ! MERCI to the girls @ Rancho Playa.

Rancho Playa makes the horse back riding excursions a must do if you are in Las Terrenas. Everything was perfect from the guides to the beach walk. Would definitely recommend this activity for all types of riders and age groups

Bonjour, les enfants à partir de 4 ans peuvent nous accompagner en excursion sur poney Molly. Si cela ne vous convient pas, le poids maximum le permet et vous êtes cavalière pour prendre l’enfant avec vous, c’est possible. Ou je peux le prendre, mais il n’est pas très confortable de monter à deux dans une selle..., salutations, Nicole

Bonjour
Est il possible de louer un cheval sans guide.
Pouvons nous être 2 sur le cheval.
Merci

C'est possible d'avoir une petite Groupe privée, mais avec accompagnement. Les sentiers ne sont pas marqués, donc c'est difficile de aller seule.

Bonjour Bastien,
Nos prix sont: USD 35 pour 1 heure, USD 50 pour 1h30 et USD 60 pour 2 heures. Nos chevaux ne sont pas trop grands. J'ai un "cheval porteur" qui peut supporter jusqu'à 110kg pour une sortie tranquille, pas de galop. Merci de me dire si vous souhaitez faire une sortie avec nous et je vous remercie de vous soucier du confort de nos animaux, salutations, Nicole

Dear Ghizlane,
Thanks for your message and sorry for my late reply, I am actually in Switzerland, but my friend Carole, phone what sap: +1809 914 3937 can take your reservation. I propose to write to her, she is very busy and it is easier for Carole to reply by message than by telephone call. Yes, we do horseback riding on the beach, for more informations and prices, please see our WEB side.
If your kids have bases in horseback riding, there is no problem for a ride on the beach. If you write to Carole, please indicate in what Hotel or House you are in Las Terrenas, she will come and see you for booking reservation. We hope to see you soon in Las Terrenas, regards, Nicole
