Private Tours
Montaña Redonda + Horse Back Riding
Gallery
Tour overview
There’s a hilltop in the Dominican Republic where the land simply runs out, and the Caribbean drops away on all sides. No railings. No gift shops. Just swings, hammocks, and a 360-degree view that has made Montaña Redonda one of the most shared destinations on social media in the entire region. Combine that with a gallop along a deserted Caribbean beach and you have one of the best days available in Punta Cana — full stop.
What happens on this tour
The approach to Montaña Redonda involves a 4x4 vehicle ride up the hillside followed by a short walk to the top. As you crest the summit, the view hits all at once — the Atlantic on one side, the Caribbean on the other, coconut palms stretching to every horizon. The famous summit swings and hammocks sit at the very edge. Take as many photos as you need.
From the summit, the tour continues to Playa Esmeralda — a pristine, near-deserted beach where your horses are waiting. The ride takes you along the surf line, through shallow water and soft sand, with the mountains behind you and the open sea ahead. No experience is required — the horses are calm, well-trained, and guided throughout.
