The sun leans low over Mount Isabel de Torres as a string of horses steps from warm sand into the shallow Atlantic, each animal steady beneath new riders who follow the shoreline toward Bergantin Beach.
This two- to three-hour evening ride follows the coast between Boca Nuevo and Bergantin, threading past a small fishing village and stopping at a local canteen where riders sip cold drinks while the tide changes color. The coastline here is geologically young limestone and volcanic outcrop, with broad beaches formed from fine sand and eroded reef fragments; expect mostly flat terrain and a few pockets of soft sand that test a horse's footing.
Puerto Plata’s waterfront has long been a working shoreline — its Malecón reflects decades of coastal trade and tourism while Mt. Isabel de Torres, visible throughout the ride, is crowned by a cable car installed in the 1970s. Locally run ranches provide the mounts and guides, and the stop at “Elvis’” offers a glimpse into everyday community life.
Practically, the ride is accessible to beginners but not recommended for pregnant riders or those with back or heart conditions. Bring a bathing suit and towel if you want to ride into the water, wear sturdy closed-toe shoes with a small heel for security in the stirrup, and apply reef-safe sunscreen. Rides run at sunset to take advantage of cooler temperatures and calmer seas — arrive hydrated, listen to your guide’s safety briefing, and be prepared for a mix of walk, trot, and a controlled gallop on open stretches.
The reward is simple: a horizon that seems to push you forward, the ocean daring you to go a little farther before the light slips away.
