The surf edges up the shore and the horses answer with a soft, steady drum as you move along Macao Beach toward the river mouth. Salt air pushes at your cheeks; a guide steadies your mount and points to the low cliffs where the water widens into the Macao River. In late afternoon light the sand pulls a long, cool shadow under hoofprints — the beach inviting a slower pace and steady rhythm.

The surf edges up the shore and the horses answer with a soft, steady drum as you move along Macao Beach toward the river mouth. Salt air pushes at your cheeks; a guide steadies your mount and points to the low cliffs where the water widens into the Macao River. In late afternoon light the sand pulls a long, cool shadow under hoofprints — the beach inviting a slower pace and steady rhythm.
Macao Beach sits on the eastern coast of the Dominican Republic, a stretch of white sand backed by coral-derived limestone and scrub vegetation. Once a local favorite for surfing and fishing, the beach became part of the Punta Cana tourism circuit in the late 20th century while still keeping a working, community character. The ride often skirts the river mouth and the beach’s surfable breaks, offering a glimpse of coastal geology and everyday life along the shore.
This is a two-hour experience suitable for first-time riders and riders seeking a relaxed sunset pace; helmets are provided and guides match pace to ability.

The tour includes pickup options, bottled water and English-speaking guides — contact the supplier after booking (WhatsApp available) to confirm pickup time and sunset slot.
