Puerto Plata Excursions

Pickup from our cruise ship port was seamless with plenty of time to get through the tourist garbage and get outside the gate where our guide was waiting with a sign. We were given bottles of water and an overview of the day as we drove to the waterfall park. Our guides even gave us some history of the island en route. We did the zip lines and the waterfalls, both were a blast. We got there early enough that we beat most of the tours organized by the cruise ships. Jonathan, the photographer, was with us the entire time and took great photos The lunch after was delicious and not something that is included in your standard cruise tour. After, we did a quick coffee and chocolate tour at a local plantation and then cruised toward downtown before getting dropped off at the port with plenty of time to spare before our disembarkation time. Overall, we highly recommend it. Definitely book through this app over something organized by a cruise ship.

Aribel was wonderful. He arrived on time and took us to see the waterfalls and the monkeys. He was very friendly and treated us like family, which was very important to us. I will definitely be using his services again in the future when I am in the Dominican Republic.

Hands down, the funnest time ever!!! Amazing staff and guides. I was initially worried about the walk from the cruise ship to the meeting location. They sent pictures in a text showing where to go and meet. No problem at all! We got absolutely filthy on the ride. They have lockers for $5. I would definitely recommend that. If you have a water proof bag you’ll be fine. Don’t think that you can keep anything dry in your pocket. There is a stop at the end on the beach to get the water and get the mud off. And trust me, there’s mud everywhere. Then back to the compound where they have showers to rinse off the salt water. But trust me, between the ocean and showers you’ll still be dirty. It was awesome!!!!

We had a great time! The staff was VERY well organized and efficient. The buggies were a blast. FYI, you gonna get dirty!! Well worth it though. A special THANK YOU to Caliente and Ronald, both very attentive and made this excursion excellent! Definitely would do this one again!

Chocolaty and Nial (our driver) were our guides. They were awesome! Loved sliding and jumping in the waterfalls! He did a great job with our photos too! They took us to a local farm and Chocolaty was so knowledgeable about the local plants and trees and their various uses for them. It was very interesting! We got to see them rolling handmade cigars and sampled their rum! Highly recommend this tour-especially with them as your host and driver!

It is not for the weak! it wasnt rushed but I wouldn't recommend for those with major health problems or blood thinners. Otherwise it was fun! We didn't have to worry about bugs, the scenery was mentally relaxing, the topography physically challenging, the waterfalls refreshing! We took our 6 year old who was a little apprehensive at first but did have a good time! I'd take a bottle of water and comfortable water shoes! They give you one bottle but it was not enough. Travel to and from was fine and return to the ship was in plenty of time.

Misael, aka Max, was a great tour guide. He arrived at the prearranged pick up point right on time and was friendly, outgoing and had lots of information to share with our group. He had a cooler full of cold water to share. The Van comfortably fit our party of six and was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed seeing the sites of Puerto Plata and the beach where we ended our excursion was lovely.
