Top Puerto Plata Travel & Transportation Services

Javier was great! We disembarked from our cruise ship as soon as we could and they met us just outside of the cruise port with a large sign. Our family of 4 were the only passengers that day (the van could not hold many more than that). As we drove they told us about the area and played some Dominican music for us in the car. We were one of the first groups to the waterfalls. My teenagers had a great time, as did my husband and I. You need to have some basic level of physical fitness for the long hike to the top, but they take plenty of breaks to make it manageable. After the waterfalls they took us to a nearby restaurant for a buffet lunch and then for a quick stop at a gift shop. On the way back to cruise port they even stopped to buy us a bag of fresh mangoes from a roadside stand. Overall, the experience took 4 hours. Be advised that we had a photographer that traveled with us the whole time and they will try to get you to buy the photos that they took of your group. Be prepared to bargain with them if you want to buy the pictures, or to tell them no when they ask (they talked to us after lunch). I don’t know that you can choose to not have them with you for the day. We had an amazing day, and it was a great experience for the price we paid. Much less expensive than the cruise line excursion!
