At the recommendation of our hotel’s owner, we reached out to Karin, who offered a half-day guided ride with a hike to a secluded beach and a few caves. The experience did not disappoint! My wife and I rode the lively Ricky and Henry, who were all too glad to munch here and there when they weren’t guiding us through the farmlands and jungle to our hiking spot. And they handled very nicely even when trotting. Our guide Bienvi did an excellent job steering the 3 of us through the narrow trail down to where we left the horses for the hiking part of our trek, fresh with sampling fresh coconuts and a much-deserved quick swim at the beach spot. Karin also welcomed us into her special property after the ride, complete with many, many rescue kitties. A great adventure in Las Galeras and excellent value!

Great half-day horseback adventure & hike in Las Galeras

We went to playa Madama with Karins beatuful and peaceful horses. We are family of four, girl is 4 and baby is one. The guides were very friendly, we enjoyed the tour very much. Karin is very nice Lady, she picked us up in the hotel and took to her ranch. I would definitly recommend this activity to everyone who loves horses. For us it was the Best family activity during our Dominican trip!

Amazing horseback riding tour

Karin is a very very lovely woman who ownes a cat shelter with mainly disabled cats. She cares for the cats with the money she get from trips and the hostel . The cat house is amazing and Karin takes the best care for them like medicines and food . The horse riding trips are amazing! It’s off the beaten track and takes you to small paths trough the wilderness and small unknown beaches. We even saw a snake and ate mango’s and coconuts on the way ! It is probably the best way to experience las galeras and surroundings !  Highly recommended ! 

Best horse is riding tour 

I had a wonderful time on a very secure horse. Riding with an english speaking guide around the hills of Las Galeras to a spot called Punto with a stunning view of the ocean and surrounding countrysides. My horse was very sure footed and very friendly. After Punto we rode to Playa Madama and my guide got a coconut from a tree, and showed me how to open it. So I had fresh coco nut for the first time in my life compared with amazing views of a wonderful beach which is not reachable by car. 
I had a wonderful time and will definately be back there if I come to Las Galeras once more! Thank you Karin for making this trip possible!

fantastic haf day horse riding trip

Situated on a hill, overlooking the Bay of Las Galeras, this ecological guesthouse and ranch offers a wonderful view. Accomodation solutions for all budgets: You can rent the whole ground floor, which sleeps up to 11 persons, or choose between twin or single rooms, or just share a room with fellow travellers. An excellent address for animal lovers - you meet many cats, dogs and horses! The flemish owner Karin organizes Horse Riding Excursions and Walking Tours. Veggies from the garden can be cooked in the outdoor kitchen. Very international place - many langues spoken (Dutch, German, English, French, Spanish). 

Become one with nature

While we did not spend the night at La Hacienda, it was recommended to us by our hosts right outside of Las Galeras. We were looking for a hiking excursion while visiting the Samana area during our stay. Once they set us up with Karin, we were told we could ride horses with a guide and also hike to La Playa Fronton. When we arrived our horses and guide were waiting for us and Karin had everything ready to go. Our guide William was fantastic. We rode horses for a while to an area where we left them to hike up a beautiful, lush mountain and were very impressed with the views of Fronton and surrounding areas. After reaching the peak of our hike, we continued down to the beach, stopping at a very cool cave on the way. Once arriving on the beach, we had time to relax while a meal was prepared for us. There was also a boat that William recommended we join to go watch the whales. We had a very unique experience getting close to several whales as they frolicked in the water before heading back in for lunch followed by our hike and horseback ride back to the ranch. Karin and William provided a very memorable day that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for a challenging adventure during their stay! 

Adventure Excursion

The person running this place is a very good host karin and a great way cheap way to stay but i have been touched by a giant centipede and found a lizard in the toilet and only cold water in the shower but if you dont mind that this place is perfect.

an incredible place

Was looking for a relaxing solo vacation in a remote spot. Couldn't have found a more perfect place. Karin (the owner) couldn't have been more accommodating. She found me guides for hikes around the area, gave great advice about things to do, and served a fabulous, fresh breakfast every morning. This place is not for everyone! But if you want peace and quiet in a beautiful, rustic setting, then this is the place to go! I spent 5 nights there and would definitely go back.
