A sea breeze, tropical countryside and a horse beneath you can turn a cruise stop into a memory worth bringing home. Horseback riding from Amber Cove gives you a chance to discover Puerto Plata beyond the terminal, with guided trails and coastal scenery that invite you to slow down.
Jey Tours organizes the day with private transportation, pickup inside the port and an itinerary planned around your ship. Whether you are traveling as a couple, a family or a group of friends, the experience starts with a simple question: what would make this port day special for you?
Why Choose Horseback Riding From Amber Cove?
Horseback riding brings you closer to the Dominican landscape. Country paths reveal greenery and everyday rural scenes before the route reaches the coast. Along the beach, the open views and sound of the waves give the outing a different rhythm from a sightseeing drive.
It is an appealing choice for guests who enjoy being outdoors and want something more personal than another afternoon around the ship’s pool. First-time riders can enjoy discovering a new activity, while experienced riders can appreciate the setting.
With Jey Tours, your vehicle and bilingual driver are reserved exclusively for your group. You travel in a modern vehicle with air conditioning and complimentary onboard Wi-Fi, making the journey comfortable before and after the ride.
Pickup Inside Amber Cove and Return on Time
Your horseback riding from Amber Cove excursion begins inside the terminal lobby and taxi area. Jey Tours has the official permissions to collect guests within the port, so you can meet your driver there before heading to the ranch.
Our drivers are ready 30 minutes before the ship’s scheduled arrival. Your actual departure depends on when the ship clears and you disembark. Before your visit, you receive your driver’s details and exact meeting instructions.
Jey Tours monitors cruise schedules and organizes the excursion around your all-aboard time. Our 100% on-time return guarantee is a central part of the service. Tell us your ship name and travel date when booking so we can plan your day properly.
You can also explore our other Amber Cove excursions if members of your group are considering different activities.
What to Expect During the Horseback Ride
At the ranch, the local riding team introduces you to your horse and explains the basics before you set off. Take this moment to mention previous riding experience or any concerns. Asking how to sit, steer or stop helps you feel more comfortable from the beginning.
The guided route combines countryside trails with beach scenery. Instead of watching the landscape through a window, you experience it at the horse’s pace, with time to notice the surroundings.
Keep your attention on the guide’s instructions, especially when the terrain changes. Photo opportunities depend on the route and conditions; ask your guide when it is appropriate to use your phone.
The Horseback Riding Tour in Puerto Plata is a good starting point if riding is the main experience you want from your port day.
Is Horseback Riding From Amber Cove Suitable for Beginners?
Yes, beginners are welcome. You receive basic instructions, and the riding team selects a horse with your experience and comfort in mind. A local guide accompanies the ride.
If you feel nervous, say so before mounting. You do not need to keep up with another guest’s confidence or expectations. The riding guide determines the pace according to the group, horses and trail conditions.
Children’s participation should be confirmed before booking. Share their ages and any relevant concerns so Jey Tours can check the arrangements with the ranch.
Riders must also meet the activity’s suitability requirements. The published weight limit is 250 lb (113 kg). The tour is not recommended during pregnancy or for guests with severe back or mobility problems. Confirm any concerns before reserving.
Add Puerto Plata City Sights and Beach Time
For guests who want variety, horseback riding from Amber Cove can be combined with sightseeing and a beach stop.
The Horseback Riding + City Tour + Beach excursion adds colorful downtown landmarks to your outdoor adventure. Umbrella Street, Pink Street and Central Park offer a chance to walk, take photographs and enjoy another side of Puerto Plata.
Afterward, beach time lets you relax, swim or purchase a local lunch. Bring swimwear and a towel if you choose this combination. Lunch, cocktails and personal purchases are separate expenses.
Choose the combination that fits your priorities. A ride with a direct return leaves more space for one main activity. Adding city and beach stops brings more variety, provided your ship’s schedule allows it.
What to Wear and Bring
A little preparation makes the ride more comfortable:
- Comfortable long pants and secure, closed-toe shoes.
- Sunscreen and sunglasses.
- A phone or camera that you can keep securely stored.
- Swimwear, a towel and dry clothes if your itinerary includes beach time.
- Cash for optional meals, purchases and tips.
- A large towel for extra comfort in the saddle, positioned as instructed by the riding team.
Wear the supplied helmet and follow the riding guide’s directions. Avoid holding loose items while riding. The route may change with weather and trail conditions, so approach the day with some flexibility.
