Your immersive equestrian adventure begins with a seamless, round-trip transfer from your Punta Cana area hotel to a peaceful, countryside ranch located in the northern region. Upon arrival, you'll meet the friendly, professional team and receive a short, necessary safety and instruction briefing before being carefully paired with one of the gentle, well-cared-for horses.
