Plan Your Travel With The People Who Know!

Zip Lines And Horseback Ride

Day Trip, Group Tour
Offer Image
Choose two very different but very fun options and fly through the air as you experience the thrill of zip lining and then take a relaxing horseback ride before you have a local, delicious lunch.

Zip Lines and Horseback Ride

After debarking your ship, it is just a short walk to meet your local, friendly representative directly at the cruise port area who will welcome you and escort you to your waiting transportation for an approximate 20-minute scenic ride to the adventure park.

Once you have arrived at the adventure park you will be greeted by the professional trained staff who will introduce you to some high-flying, adrenaline rushing fun. Your guides will provide you with a mandatory safety briefing first and then you will take to the air and zip on 8 different lines. These ACCT certified zip lines have a total of more than 8,000 feet of double, galvanized steel cable. Never been zip lining before? Not a problem as no experience is required. Contrary to many other zip line parks, you are not involved in any active breaking where you use gloves for stopping. Don't miss out on zip line #9, the only way to finish is taking the plunge into the swimming pool!

Next up is a relaxing and leisurely horseback ride around the scenic property. On this gentle ride you can slow down and enjoy some of the breath-taking views. Depending on riding skills and experience the staff will pair you with right horse, for beginners and children the staff will take the time to provide full basic riding instructions.

By now you will no doubt have worked up an appetite, so it's time to make your way to lunch. Pull up a seat and enjoy a delicious, home-cooked Dominican lunch consisting of rice, beans, chicken or beef, fried sweet potatoes and yucca, vegetables, fresh tropical fruits and more.

After this 5-hour tour you will be returned to the port area where your cruise ship will be waiting. Make memories that will last a lifetime while in the Dominican Republic and choose this tour that offers two very different, fun activities.

About Shore Excursions Group

ABOUT US
Shore Excursions Group was created with one goal in mind: to provide exceptional travel experiences to cruise passengers in the ports they visit around the world. To accomplish this, we have compiled an exceptional array of tours delivered by local experts with decades of experience serving travelers and delivering excellent tours. Our owners and management team are comprised of seasoned travel industry executives who leverage their considerable experience to deliver memories of a lifetime.

We are experts in providing exceptional shore excursions. We understand that in today's fast paced world, vacations have become an increasingly important way to relax, reconnect with family and friends, and experience new and interesting places. With this in mind, we provide the highest quality tours by performing extensive research, and detailed reviews. While other companies also offer excursions, we strongly believe our expertise and approach set us apart. The large cruise lines sell shore excursions - typically in very large groups visiting high traffic sites. We focus on smaller groups visiting more interesting and authentic locations using more personalized local operators. While the cruise lines are experts in delivering cruises, we are experts in delivering shore excursions.

Our Approach
We believe quality service is not only highly valued by customers, but ultimately leads to better experiences and higher satisfaction. Unlike the cruise lines and other tour companies that rely almost entirely on websites, we encourage customers to call us. We want to invest our time answering your questions, providing input, and selecting the excursions that best meet your needs.

Our Tours
Our goal is to provide customers a wide array of exciting, appealing, and enriching tours. For those customers who prefer to travel in smaller groups with more personalized service, we offer a wide variety of small group tours around the world. These tours generally range in size from 2-12 people compared to larger tours which can number up to 50 people. While exploring the destinations and ports on this website, feel free to search for these "Small Group Tours". For those customers interested in private tours, we offer many outstanding excursions that allow you to travel with your party alone and, in many cases, to fully customize your tour. Search for "Private Tours" if you are interested in this experience. Our "Scenic" tours provide up close and personal access to some of the most spectacular natural environments on Earth from majestic glaciers in Alaska to spectacular reefs in the Caribbean. Our "Cultural" tours allow customers to experience local customs, entertainment and culinary delights ranging from tribal dances in Alaska to an outstanding local meal in Santorini, Greece. Our "Active" tours offer a multitude of exciting and adventurous ways to experience our destinations. Our customers can kayak the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, hike to a spectacular waterfall in Hawaii, or bicycle through quaint villages in France. Our "City" tours allow travelers to see the highlights of great cities around the world with unique insights provided by our expert tour guides.

Our People
In our experience, exceptional travel experiences are almost always delivered by exceptional people. With that in mind, we utilize a comprehensive approach to select and employ the leading tour guides and tour providers around the globe. We hold our people to very high standards which we measure by our comprehensive Quality Control process and, most importantly, by our customer feedback, which we will actively seek from each of our customers.
