What travelers are saying
- rick00001967Ontario, Canada961 contributionsi will say right away that horseback riding is not my preferred cup of tea. haha it is the wife that loves these animals. that said, we traveled here for our anniversary and her birthday so how could i say no.
we used this ranch many years ago when staying in the playa dorada complex. it was fun then and it was fun again.
they are very close by the complex so transport back and forth is quick and easy. we went in slow season so we were the only 2 riders which was nice.
the business has changed hands recently and the latest owner has apparently made some changes. they have some new animals and some update equipment.
the horses seem to be in very good condition and well cared for. so did the many friendly dogs that share the ranch.
both Angel and Alex have been here for many years and are great staff.
our booking agent originally had us booked with another operator in sosua. we were not too happy about having to travel that far back and forth so we were very happy when they changed at the last minute. we did not ask why.
pick up was on time. the pace was very leisurely. we had a beautifully scenic ride into the hills. some spots offered a great ocean view with a cool breeze while others were sunny and hot.
there is a stop along the way (thank god haha) to rest the horses (and the riders) where you can have a water or soft drink. beer is avail for purchase along some gifts if you like.
helmets are mandatory. closed toed shoes are always a good idea but if you only have sandals make sure they are secured strapped sandals and not loose flip flops.
this is a great way to see the countryside and much quieter than the buggies or atv's.
if you are considering riding as part of your vacation then choosing Lorilar is the right way to go.Written August 25, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Judi S5 contributionsWe had a wonderful excursion up in the hills above Puerto Plata lead by “Crazy” Alex. We were experienced riders, and Alex recognized that, so he allowed us to move out at times and even gallop for a short distance. The horses were Passover finos, which meant that they had very smooth gaits. All in all, a very enjoyable experience!Written February 3, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Vin T8 contributionsJesus was great. On time and waiting at airport. Very clean mini van. Was responsive to emails. Return trip he was on time. Will definitely use his taxi again.

- Marc K1 contributionMy family and I have been coming to Cabarete for over 10 years. Ismael and his team have always provided excellent service at fair prices. Whether it’s a simple taxi ride into town or a custom full day excursion, he has always been there for us. He takes care of his vehicles, they are always super clean, newer makes and very comfortable.Written December 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rita TravelsSan Francisco, CA3 contributionsI did 3 tours with Mar Y Sol company and I absolutely loved ALL of them. I went to the Blue Lagoon, Cayo Arena (Paradise Island) and Whale Watching. They were fantastic at all of them. Excellent communication throughout, took me to so many places beyond those listed above (it was almost a whole day excursion), very comfortable buses, very nice drivers and guides and a great lunch buffet. Would definitely recommend this tour company to anyone visiting northern Dominican Republic!!Written April 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Cindi P5 contributionsWe had a wonderful day with Barney. He picked us near our cruise ship and met us with water and a smile. We spent the day with him. We went to the waterfalls and it was so much fun. Lots of exercise and fun slides. We then went on a city tour. Barney kept us entertained and showed us his country and city.Written March 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The tour guide was exceptional! I would suggest sippy cups for the rum as the ride is bumpy and you will spill your drinks! lol It's a full day of fun and the lunch was amazing!

- Sightsee549571188391 contributionFrancesc was a great dive instructor! I was able to get my PADI open water diving certification with him and he was super patient and accommodating with our schedule. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to get their certification and want an instructor that is encouraging and supportive even when you’re a bit nervous!Written February 23, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
