Great day!!!
We had so much fun with Elian!! he was so nice and really showed us around Puerto Plata. He’s a great picture taker and took us to all the places that we wanted to go and we got to go to the beach for a little while as well.
He was very flexible with the schedule, we were worried about the rain, but it held out for our tour. We had a great time at the rum tour!!
Definitely do this tour if you are in Puerto Plata, it’s a family run business and Elian and his dad are great people!

We had Ismael as our...
We had Ismael as our private driver and tour guide on a visit that corresponded with a holiday. It was clearly worthwhile to have a local expert take us around to sites and a delicious restaurant that were open. I would have been scrambling if I had tried to come up with a day’s worth of itinerary!

Great tour, I highly recommend the private tour.
Chepe our tour guy was amazing. We really enjoyed our tour around the island. I must say my favorite part is the café on top of the mountain with a view He took us to. The only thing I wish, it would’ve been the last part. I could’ve had stayed and enjoyed it the rest of the time.

Fun day with Carlos
Carlos was amazing! He was patient with us and allowed us to go and do whatever we wanted. He even took one of our ladies by the grocery store and one to the post office. The tour sites he picked were perfect! We had a fabulous day! I can’t say enough about Carlos! He made it a perfect day!

This boat day was SO much...
This boat day was SO much fun. There are a lot of people on the boat, so expect a very social, lively environment. You’ll likely be sharing tables and space with others, and there aren’t really quiet or private areas. That said, if you’re open to it, it really adds to the experience.
The crew completely made the trip. They were hilarious, engaging, and did an amazing job getting everyone involved—dancing, laughing, and just having a great time. Huge shoutout to Benjamin and Mawii (the photographer), who were especially fun and added a lot to the vibe.
The day starts with two snorkeling stops. You can fully snorkel with equipment, just swim, or even stay on the boat if that’s more your speed. My friends and I chose to just get in the water and swim, which was perfect. Life jackets are provided and required in the water, but not while you’re on the boat.
After snorkeling, the open bar kicks in and you cruise while eating and drinking. The food was buffet-style, with plenty of options and generous portions—you can go back for as much as you want.
A couple practical tips:
• There are bathrooms on board
• Definitely bring sunscreen and a towel
• Take motion sickness medication beforehand—this is a big one
Even if you’re comfortable on boats, the waves can be intense. I grew up on the water on a boat every weekend in Florida and still took Bonine beforehand, and I’m really glad I did. I felt completely fine, but probably a third of the boat got seasick. The crew does their best to help (cold washcloths, crackers, water, buckets, etc.), but it’s much better to prevent it. Bonine is great because it doesn’t have noticeable side effects, so it’s 100% worth taking as a just in case.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this experience. It’s high-energy, social, and just a really fun way to spend a day on the water.

Amazing, Wonderful, Knowledgable and Fun
Diana was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly kind and clearly very experienced as a tour guide. Everything ran smoothly, and we always felt well taken care of throughout the day.
What made the experience even more special was the group we were with. Everyone was so friendly and fun, and the entire day was filled with laughter, learning, and enjoying great food together.
Overall, we had an absolutely fabulous time. I would highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Puerto Plata—it was the perfect mix of culture, history, and unforgettable moments.

An adventure of a lifetime
When we signed up to see the monkeys we were both more enthused about the zip lining but after all was said and done, we both thought the monkey experience was very special. We’d seen monkeys in the wild in other countries and mostly found them to be smelly and unfriendly. However, these monkeys were small and adorable and so gentle. We were given ample time to spend getting photos taken with them and it was extremely memorable. As for the zip lining the experience was also good and it felt safe. The local meal was absolutely delicious. When we come back we would definitely come see the monkeys again!

Great way to spend a day on Puerto Plata DR
What a great day. The communication from Austin was great. Then add in Carlos (our driver) was clear, easy. Our tour was very knowledgeable. We were able to roll our own cigar. Learned a lot! Hanging out afterwards with a cigar and a cocktail just made it all a great day. We took our driver Carlos out for coffee afterwards. Just do it! Get to know the locals as well. THANKS for a very memorable day!!!!

A must do in puerto plata
A great day filled with activities. I was picked up on time from my hotel at 8am. The tour started with the waterfalls , which were amazing - very refreshing and lots of fun. Our group of 3 was the first one to arrive which gave us more time to enjoy each of the waterfalls/slides. We then went to the main area to get lunch before setting off on a long ATV adventure through rainforest and passing through a village - a very special way to see the area. During the ATV tour we also visited a house in the village and did some chocolate, coffee and mango tastings. This was my first time doing a long atv ride and it was an exciting experience! We then went to do 8 Ziplines and finished off with a short horseback riding trip (which might have been shorter because of the size of the group and the time in the day). Whenever we had to wait a short time for the next activity, it was always in a nicely cooled chill area, which made the whole experience very relaxing. I would definitely do this again and will recommend this tour to everybody. It is a long day of activities with a bit of hiking in between, so you will be tired in the end, but it’s a great kind of tired. The tour guides and staff were all very friendly. The photos from activities were also great.

Thrilling, Safe, and Unforgettable – A Perfect Day with Country World Adventure!
Our VIP Day Pass experience with Country World Adventure was everything we hoped for and more! From the moment we arrived, the team was professional, friendly, and completely on point. They were ready for us right on time and took us on a short, scenic ride to their adventure site.
Upon arrival, we were given a clear and engaging briefing on all the activities. The team made sure each part of the experience — from zip lining to ATV rides to horseback riding — was handled with care, enthusiasm, and safety in mind. There were plenty of trained guides and support staff to assist and encourage everyone, making the day exciting and enjoyable for all age groups.
A big bonus was the dedicated photographer who tagged along throughout, capturing amazing action shots so we could fully live the moment instead of worrying about taking pictures — a thoughtful touch that we really appreciated.
And then came the delicious lunch — the standout being the unforgettable yuca fries! We loved them so much we asked the staff to make another batch just for our family — and they gladly did! That’s the kind of warm hospitality and service Country World is all about.
This wasn’t just a day of activities — it was a day of being cared for, pampered, and treated like VIPs. If you're in Puerto Plata and looking for a mix of adrenaline, nature, and top-tier service, Country World Adventure is the way to go. Highly recommended!

The location was very...
The location was very nice and we enjoyed our ATV excursion. My daughter and I had a great time on the ATV's. The guides make sure everyone is together and okay during the ride. You will get wet and dirty but it's worth it. The only down side was I wasn't able to use my card to buy lunch or gifts because I forgot my ID, so make sure you have that.

5 Stars!
Country World absolutely exceeded all expectations! From the moment we arrived, the team was professional, prepared, and incredibly polite. We booked the waterfall, zip lining, and horseback riding adventure—and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.
A special shoutout to our amazing guide, Rosairy. She treated us like family and made the entire day even more special. I started feeling sick from the heat while hiking up to the zip line, and she didn’t leave my side—helping me every step of the way with care and compassion. Her kindness truly meant the world.
Every activity was well-organized and so much fun. If you’re looking for an adventure that’s both thrilling and heartfelt, Country World is the place. I can’t recommend them enough!
