What are people saying about Puerto Plata

Experience 5 Hours Freedom Exploring Puerto Plata

Bruce_W, Nov 2026

Fantastic experience, highly recommended!

This tour was fantastic! We told our guide what we wanted to see and what we were not interested in. His minivan was new, clean and the A/C worked great. We were the only passengers. He spoke good English and answered our many questions about life in the D.R. He took us to many areas on the island and really became a "member" of our tour. I hope he remembers to tell his wife our baby powder trick!

AMBER COVE-TAINO BAY 5 Zip Lines 7 Waterfalls + Locale Food

Steven_A, Nov 2026

The most fun day of our cruise

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.

Puerto Plata City Tour with Private Guide, Rum,Chocolate.

Barbara_Z, Nov 2026

Explore & Enjoy

Let’s start from the beginning, approximately 15 minute walk from the cruise ship through the Store areas to the front gate, Doimi our wonderful tour guide met the 2 of us there in an air-conditioned SUV. We had a grand adventure of the city, the rum tastings, the chocolate shop and discovered some fabulous jewelry along the way. We walked through parts of the city, and if there was music playing, we stopped and danced with Doimi in the streets,( he is an excellent dancer). Highly recommend this tour.

Excellent service

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.

Half-Day Buggy Guided Adventure for Amber Cove and Taino Bay

bkpierson, Nov 2026

Best time ever!

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!!!!

Monkey Interaction Shore Excursion from Amber Cove and Taino Bay

Great time by all

We had the absolute BEST time with this experience! The monkeys were amazing, the driver allowed us to stop and get some fresh fruit, the pink street and umbrella street were iconic. We really enjoyed our time here and glad we booked!!! Tamares really made this excursion exceed our expectations!!!

Monkey Mania Puerto Plata

Jeff_S, Nov 2026

Monkey see Monkey do do

The monkey interaction was good (except for the mess on my shirt and shorts). I blame myself for wearing decent clothes. I highly recommend you do not wear clothes that you care about to this adventure. The staff was attentive and the facility for the monkeys appeared to be well maintained. Our driver for the day was above average on all levels. He's a very safe driver, something you don't always get in the D.R. He went over and above to accommodate all of our needs and even went back to get our pictures for us. Tamares Tours is who you want to handle your transportation to and from this experience.

7 Waterfalls in Puerto Plata + a Delicious Local lunch.

Amy_C, Oct 2026

Amazing experience!

We had the best time! There are 3 guides with your group and you will hike pretty far to get to the waterfall and if anyone is struggling along the way, they help them so everyone stays together and safe. Bring suitable shoes for hiking over rocks because not all the path is even. This was a great experience!

27 Waterfalls of Damajagua: 7 Charcos Adventure Experience

Matthew_G, Oct 2026

Challenging and Fun

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.

Deborah_P, Oct 2026

Hits the high points!

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.

Amazing experience! DR Prime tours was amazing! !!! Would do again and highly recommend!

Amazing experience! DR Prime tours was amazing!!!! Would do again and highly recommend! Long walk to van from port but other than that no complaints. Lunch was good.i guess one other complaint was at plantation the pressure to buy jewelry was ridiculous, gave me anxiety! Couldn’t look in store without guy following me everywhere in the store wanting to sell to me.
