Cabrera, Dominican Republic, is a hidden gem nestled along the country’s northern coast. In fact, when we first arrived to the Dominican shores, we landed in Cabrera.
With its stunning beaches, lush rainforests, and towering mountains, Cabrera offers an abundance of natural beauty to explore, and even though we live 2 hours away now, we still go back nearly monthly to enjoy its countryside.
And what better way to experience this paradise than on horseback?
If you’re looking for an unforgettable horseback riding adventure—the kind where the whole world melts away—Cabrera is our favorite destination.

The horses on this tour are well cared for and gentle in nature. They are sure-footed and experienced, making them ideal for riders of all skill levels. Whether you are a seasoned equestrian or a complete beginner, you will feel safe and comfortable on these horses.
