What are people saying about Puerto Plata

Shaina_M, Oct 2026

10/10 recommend!

This was a fantastic experience and a great way to get to see the beautiful city of puerta plata. We booked last minute the day before and weren’t quite sure what to expect. I’m glad we did because we couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Junior! He was so nice, friendly, and took us to many places all while making sure the memories were captured in some photos along the way. Highly recommend having him as your guide!

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

Unforgettable!

This is the company to use if you book this excursion! It's great on its own, but the people made it unforgettable! I have to name names. Daniella checked us in (so easy) and rode in the air conditioned van with us, telling us all we needed to know. We got all the attention because we were the only two that showed up. William was a good and safe driver both to and from the falls. Upon arrival, we met Flaco, our hiking guide. Normally we would join with other groups for this, but the timing was so lucky. My wife and I had a private tour with Flaco and our paparazzi, Chocolatte. We had them all to ourselves! We did get winded hiking up the mountain, but stopped a couple of times. I'm 69 with no medical issues, but I'm certainly in no kind of athletic shape. With picture stops and flat sections, it really wasn't too bad. Because it was only us, it took only 35 minutes. We did 5 zip lines first. Bryant and Jordan helped us at the zip lines. They were so fun and funny and put us at ease. We zipped over many jungle canopies like I always dreamed! After that, the waterfalls cooled us off and refreshed us wonderfully. We felt so alive jumping the falls and sliding the rock slides! The most special thing about this tour was Chocolatte. He was like our best friend. He stayed beside us and we talked all the way. He taught us so much about Dominican life and the jungle plants and trees. It's people like him that make these memories special. He also took over 200 pictures and 40 videos of it adventure. The cool water made our walk to the van so comfortable. We met back up with Daniella, and William who drove us to lunch in a nice little village nearby. The Dominican lunch of chicken, rice, and many other things was delicious and more than we could eat. Then we drove just a minute away to a place where we played with parrots, watched cigars being rolled, tasted chocolate, coffee, rum, and our favorite, mamajuana (Dominican's national drink). We bought some mamajuana to take home. We lucked out with this excursion and these people. Unforgettable!

27 Waterfalls of Damajagua: 7 Charcos Adventure Experience

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.

7 Waterfalls in Puerto Plata + a Delicious Local lunch.

Perfect day!

It is 35 minute hike to the falls but once you get there, water is wonderful. You should definitely be in shape for this activity! We spent $50 for our own photographer so plan for that because the pics were amazing. Afterwards we had a beautiful local lunch that we loved and were able to purchase some local ice cold beers!

Monkey Interaction Shore Excursion from Amber Cove and Taino Bay

Best Teen Birthday Ever

Such an amazing day with such a great guide! Tamares made our day extra special by letting the folks at Monkey Home know it was my daughter's birthday. She got to hang with monkeys, turtles, guinea pigs, a donkey - and her favorite animal in the world, a capybara. Tamares then took us to the city for some photos with the pink street, umbrella street, and independence park. My family thought we were crazy for booking an excursion outside of the cruise as a mother and teen daughter. But I can attest that the other reviews are right - Tamares is an excellent guide and we felt totally safe during our time in the DR.

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! 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.

Monkey Park Tour and Damajagua waterfalls in Puerto Plata.

Dayna_S, Aug 2026

Great Time!

We enjoyed this excursion we did not find the hiking as taxing. We are 26 and 29 and were able to do it in decent shape. Yes there is many stairs and it would be hard for young children but it’s manageable for everyone else. Just be ready to jump into the water, highest jump was 21 feet so be ready to do it!

Shore Excursion: Buggy Adventure — Countryside & Local Tasting

Danielle_W, Aug 2026

Book this! You won’t regret it

This was the best experience ever! The guides were awesome! We got picked up outside cruise port so it was a bit of walk but worth it. They provided lockers for your things. They will get wet and muddy ALL OF IT WILL. Bring water shoes, cash and phones for photos. Leave the rest. Goggles are an extra $5. You make a couple of stops. First one they give you some island education and samples of tea, mamajuna, and fruit from the island. There are shops and drinks for purchase here as well. A bit pricey. But remember this is how they make a living. The second stop is at beach where I ran like crazy to jump in. Water was beautiful. There’s food and drinks for purchase here. The food is fantastic as always. Mofungo, ceviche, fresh fish. I will definitely do this again when I go back!

AMBER COVE-TAINO BAY Super Buggy Tour

Kevin_L, Jun 2026

Great time!!

Great adventure to see areas you never see. There are not a lot of times where you go full throttle in the biggie, but several times to get wet. Visiting the native town was a great experience and the beach was a nice way to end the day. Staff was amazing. They were informative and attentive the whole time. I am a taller guy, they refused to let me stay crammed in the buggy and brought a bigger one out for us to use to make it more enjoyable.
