Polaris And Horseback Combo

Overview

This is a 7-hour pairing from Bavaro Adventure Park: time driving a Polaris vehicle and a horseback ride, with a typical Dominican lunch included. Hotel pickup from Punta Cana and Bávaro is part of the package, with shared bus transfers both ways. The day is built around two very different ways of covering the park's grounds, one on four wheels and one on horseback, with a briefing and equipment supplied for each.

On arrival you get a security briefing and training from bilingual staff, plus all the equipment needed for both activities. Drivers need to be 18 or older with a valid license shown to staff, passengers and riders must be at least 1.30 meters tall, and there are weight and health limits on the horseback section. The listing caps the group at 50 travellers, so expect a shared, organised setup rather than an intimate outing. Lunch is a typical Dominican meal served without drinks, and lockers, photos and souvenirs are sold separately if you want them.

It is not a fit for pregnant travellers, people with back problems or serious heart conditions, or infants, who cannot join the Polaris tour. The listing also states the tour is not wheelchair accessible, though service animals are allowed. Most travellers can participate, and anyone staying in Punta Cana or Bávaro gets the transfer sorted without extra planning, while pickups from Bayahibe and La Romana cost US$10.00 per person extra.

What's Included

Itinerary

1. Hotel pickupA shared bus collects you from your Punta Cana or Bávaro hotel. You must confirm your pickup time by direct message or email after booking, and be at the pickup point 10 to 15 minutes before that time, as transfers may run early or a few minutes late.
2. Arrival and briefingYou reach Bavaro Adventure Park on Blvd. Turístico del Este KM 8.5. Staff run a security briefing and training, and provide the equipment for both activities. Personal objects cannot be carried during the activities; lockers are available at an additional cost.
3. Polaris drivingYou take the Polaris vehicles out for the driving portion of the combo, with the driver requirement of a valid license and minimum age of 18 applying.
4. Horseback ridingThe second activity is the horseback ride. Riders must be at least 1.30 meters tall and no more than 130 kilograms.
5. Dominican lunchA typical Dominican lunch is included, without drinks. Any extra snacks or drinks are at your own cost.
6. Return transferThe shared bus takes you back to your pickup point. The activity ends back at the meeting point.

What To Expect From The Tour

A few practical points from the listing will shape how the day goes, from footwear rules to what you can and cannot carry during the activities.

• Footwear and clothing. Closed sports shoes are mandatory for both activities, so leave flip-flops and sandals for afterwards. The listing advises light, comfortable clothing, a bathing suit and towel, sunscreen, and a spare change of clothes for the end of the day.
• Lockers and valuables. You cannot take personal objects with you during the Polaris or horseback portions. The park has small and large lockers, but they cost extra, so budget for that if you bring a phone, wallet or camera.
• Group feel. The tour runs with a maximum of 50 travellers, with a shared bus and a group briefing and training session on arrival.
• Food and extras. The typical Dominican lunch is included but drinks are not, and any additional consumption is on you. Bandanas, goggles, souvenirs and professional photos are also sold separately, and tips are not included.
• Pickup logistics. You need to contact the operator by direct message or email after booking to confirm your pickup time. Transfers can be early or delayed by a few minutes, so the listing asks you to be ready 10 to 15 minutes ahead of the confirmed time.
• Weather dependency. The experience requires good weather. If it is cancelled for poor conditions, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

Common issues. The practical limits are clear in the listing. Infants cannot join the Polaris tour, and the horseback ride has a minimum height of 1.30 meters and a maximum rider weight of 130 kilograms, which rules out some younger children. The tour is not wheelchair accessible and is not recommended for pregnant travellers or anyone with back problems or serious heart conditions. Several extras sit outside the ticket price: drinks at lunch, lockers, bandanas and goggles, photos, souvenirs, tips, and a US$10.00 per person charge for transfers from Bayahibe or La Romana.
