Located in the town of Humacao, a 45-mintue bus ride from the pier, is the Ocean Trail Rides farm, located on the grounds of the Palmas del Mar Beach Resort. Upon arrival at the farm, guests will be greeted by friendly staff who will proceed to instruct guests on the proper techniques for riding a horse which will include a short lesson on how to handle a horse, saddle care, stops, turns, pace, etc. Once all the guests have mounted their horses, they will set out on a slow-paced ride on a slightly elevated trail with beautiful views of the Caribbean Sea. You will now descend in elevation until reaching the beach where you will ride along the coast. At the conclusion of the ride, you will return to Palmas del Mar Beach Resort to relax and enjoy refreshments.
Note: The horseback riding portion of the tour is 1.5 hours long. Long pants and enclosed shoes are recommended. This is a slow-paced, walking-only horseback ride. Guests must be at least 10 years of age and weigh less than 250 pounds in order to participate on this excursion. Bottled water and refreshments are included. Please note that due to turtle eggs hatching on the beach, sometimes you are unable to ride the horses along the coastline. If this happens, you will ride an alternative trail where you will be able to see the coastline.
= To fully participate may require extended periods of walking over even and uneven surfaces, steep terrain and/or water activity in a slight current. There may be steps, inclines, cobblestone surfaces, and extended periods of standing. Participants with physical limitations should take this into account.
