Cassandra_R, Jun 2026

Crusie

First like give a proper New Orleans hello, Waaaaa . This was the best tour!!! Carlos is the best and kindest and the best tour guide in the DR. He showed us the best time and sites. He is well known, lowkey a celebrity, on the island. He showed us the the coolest sites and have real history to share. I recommend Perez tours and most importantly Carlos. He made the DR for me 😊

Guided Puerto Plata City Tour

Teresa_C, Jun 2026

Look No Further! This Guided Tour is the Best!

Our tour guide Fermin was awesome. His knowledge was extensive about Puerta Plata and made our experience really enjoyable and worthwhile. He took us to several known tourists spots, but also shared other sights that most tourists don’t get to see. He made it known we could stop anywhere we wanted and that he was there for us. Don’t pass on this tour, it was one of the best we have had on Viator and in traveling. He was punctual, the car was clean, he was friendly and we learned a lot about the area.

Edgar Entertainment

Edgar was amazing!! His tour was outstanding. He took us to see the wonderful parts of Puerta Plata which included a visit to a fort, rum distillery and walked us through the streets to see other sights. He allowed the time and space to enjoy these sights. I would highly recommend booking this!! Our day ended with a nice lunch at a restaurant and a gift from Edgar. This was my FAVORITE excursion.

Catamaran Snorkeling All-Inclusive Day-Trip

Emma_S, Apr 2026

First Time Snorkeler Review

This was SO much fun. I had never been snorkeling before, but the crew helped me learn and made me feel safe the entire time! They provided the snorkeling gear (and life vests for everyone) and you just had to bring a towel, sun block, and any additional snacks you wanted. We sailed to two different snorkeling spots, and after snorkeling lunch was provided. Afterward we sailed for about 2 hours back to Puerto Plata. It was such a fun time, I would definitely do it again.

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.

Monkeyland and Zipline Adventure from Puerto Plata

David_H, Feb 2026

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!!!!

Great Tour, Great guide

Pretty impressive tour. Was only my wife and I with Melanie our driver/tour guide. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and several times asked what else we would like to see. It seemed like she knew everyone in town as we walked around town center. Great tour and great guide! It was only the 3 of us so a very personal tour

XDream Adventure: Damajagua Waterfalls, ATV, Zip Lines, Horseback Riding & Pool

Katerina_V, Sep 2025

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.

I absolutely recommend this VIP experience for anyone wanting adventure! All of the staff were friendly and welcoming, as well as knowledgeable and safety-oriented. I was the only horseback rider and am experienced, so we were able to canter and lope! The experience didn’t feel rushed at all and I didn’t want to leave!

ATV Adventure

Nachaell_M, Jul 2025

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.
