Description
Experience a half- day adventure at Hacienda Polanco in Puerto Plata. Meet monkeys, ride horses, drive a buggy, and enjoy a Dominican lunch on a working ranch.
Begin your adventure with a convenient pickup from your hotel in Puerto Plata. Head to Hacienda Polanco, a working ranch surrounded by tropical jungle and rolling countryside.
Start with a visit to the exotic bird sanctuary, where you can walk through a vibrant aviary featuring toucans, parrots, macaws, and native Dominican birds. Capture stunning photos of these colorful creatures in their natural habitat.
Next, meet playful squirrel monkeys up close in a lush tropical setting. Hand-feed them fruit under the supervision of experienced staff and capture once-in-a-lifetime photos.
Then, take the wheel of your own 4x4 buggy and blast through muddy jungle tracks, river crossings, and rural paths. Enjoy heart-pumping fun for the whole group as you explore the Dominican countryside.
After your buggy adventure, visit a working stable and get behind the scenes of a real Dominican equestrian stable. Meet the horses, learn about their care, and connect with the local ranching culture.
Saddle up and ride through scenic trails surrounded by banana trees, sugarcane fields, and mountain views. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced rider, this horseback riding experience is suitable for all levels.
Refuel with a home-cooked buffet featuring rice and beans, roasted chicken, tostones, fresh salads, tropical fruits, and local juices — a genuine taste of the island. After lunch, enjoy some free time to relax, take additional photos, or visit the hacienda's souvenir shop before returning to your hotel.
