Top Puerto Plata Private Sightseeing Tours - page 4

Francisco was our tour guide. He is incredibly well loved in Puerto Plata, and as a result, you have an incredible tour. He took us everywhere. He kept us hydrated and happy. He was so flexible when we decided we wanted to change the itinerary a bit.. He even encouraged my son to go to the fort which give us a beautiful view of the ship and a nice family moment. 5 stars!!!! Highly recommend.

Great experience with the family. Everything was perfect and we got to see all of the amazing places in Puerto Plata. The beach is beautiful. Jose was amazing and professional. I highly recommend the tour for anyone looking for a safe, educational and professional tour experience.

Great experience! We had lots of fun, would absolutely do it again. Wear clothes you don’t mind throwing away or washing immediately afterwards. I appreciate the trip through town, makes me want to go back to spend more time. Take full advantage of your beach stop it’s the last hope to hose off.

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.

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.

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!

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!!!!

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
