Puerto Plata City Tours

RONALD_G, May 2026

Good tour

The tour was great. Edwin and his partner transported us in an air conditioned van. Very comfortable. We made a lot of stops especially for shopping. Some touristy shops were a bit pushy but nothing new at these cruise stops. Well worth the $55. Smoked a free just rolled cigar. That was worth it alone for me. I definitely recommend.

Josh_W, May 2026

Perfect day

Loved the experience! You do a lot of hiking, so water shoes weren’t the best option for that. Next time I’d bring sneakers that I don’t mind getting wet. Aribel was amazing. We were picked up right from our resort, and the whole day was fantastic. Thank you for such a great experience!!!

Mitch_W, May 2026

Great Family Fun Adventure!!!

Our experience was excellent. Our transportation was waiting just outside the gate and clearly marked. They sent a photographer named Frandy with us down the falls and he was awesome. He was very friendly and made the excursion great. Would most definitely use them again!!

Loved It! Loved it! Loved it! can i go again!

Loved this excursion and such friendly staff, well worth the money paid and would highly recommend this, It is up to you how you want to drive the buggy, either go fast through those big muddy puddles or slowly so you don't get soaked, not sure my wife was too happy as i took the first option and soaked her and the guide done the gentlemanly thing and put her in his buggy so i could carry on going mad with it.

Beautiful falls and charming hosts

Incredible experience! Our favorite excursion of our cruise. The waterfalls were absolutely stunning and so fun sliding and jumping down them. What really made our experience, though, was our guides - Daniella, William, Chocolate, and Carlos. Daniella was very sweet and knowledgeable, William our great driver. Chocolate and Carlos we absolutely adored! They were SO much fun taking us through the falls, getting great pictures, joking around laughing with us the whole way. The other guides with other groups (Tony) also joked around with us too so all around we just had so much fun. They took great pictures that we appreciated having. The lunch was great, the plantation was small but it’s okay as we were really just there for the falls. We also loved that our group was small, felt very personalized. All around a 10/10 experience!

AMBER COVE-TAINO BAY Super Buggy Tour

Bruce_D, May 2026

VIP Experience

My wife and I had a phenomenal time on this experience, and it was everything that we hoped it would be and then some! Since there were no cruise ships arriving in to Puerto Plata the day of our excursion, it felt like we had our own private experience. Willy was our guide, and he was incredible. It felt like he gave us a VIP experience and made sure that we had a great time. The ATV was very fun to drive, and we got to experience many great scenic sites along the ride. We rode through dirt roads, villages, and by the beach. The puddles and streams were super fun to drive through too, and we got dirty, which helped make the experience. We stopped at the Jungle for souvenirs and a tasting experience. The food and drink that we tried all tasted great, and we walked away with several reasonably priced souvenirs. We had a stop at the beach which gave us the option to get in and clean off some, as well as enjoy some beautiful scenery. Once we got back to the place, they had shower facilities and changing rooms that were excellent for getting cleaned up. There was some slight confusion about our ride back to the city that was included in what we paid for, but Orlando (supervisor) made it right, and he ensured we got back safely. Overall I would give this a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend this for others to do!

Julie_M, May 2026

Great service/experience but vendors nog so much!!

Joseph was amazing! Very accommodating and friendly loved his country and gave us great pointers for next time. We did not like how pushy the vendors were in the countryside except Julian!! Man he was amazing! But others did not give us room to look. Also beware of those asking you if you want pictures as they were trying to push for us to pay them more. It was very uncomfortable.

Zip line and waterfall tour

We had amazing tour guides, both Danielle and William we amazing there and back. For the zip line and waterfall tour ask for Carlos and Brayan. Both were hilarious and made the kids feel totally confident the whole time. I was traveling with a 11 and 8 year old and they got them to jump off the waterfall! Highly suggest this excursion over the cruise option. We had AC van, food and multiple cultural stops. The cruise option had an open top safari style truck without AC and no food option for more money… Go this route if you have the option.

Monkey Home Tour and Damajagua waterfalls in Puerto Plata.

Ben_B, May 2026

Great experience! Don't...

Great experience! Don't bring anything you don't want getting wet, because it will get wet! The hike isn't bad at all, but could see it being kind of difficult if you're not in ok shape. It's about 1 mile to the top with roughly a 400 foot elevation gain, then lots of stairs down to the river. Once at the river we slid down a few waterfalls and had the option to jump 20 feet into the water or climb down a ladder at the 2nd to last fall. Do the jump! You'll regret it if you don't! After climbing down the ladder at the last fall we walked back to the base which was mostly a flat hike. When we were there there were a couple of larger groups which required us to wait a bit, but it wasn't a big deal. Would certainly recommend it to anyone that likes water and a bit of adventure!

10/10 experience, super fun

The tour was absolutely amazing! Darwin was our tour guide and he was very welcoming and friendly. He was super knowledgable about the culture of Puerto Plata and DR. He had great energy and took us great places. He was even great with taking pictures for us. Our favorite part was walking downtown and seeing all the beautiful colors of the city and the Rum Tour. Darwin did a wonderful job and we had a great job. We appreciated him so much and had so much fun. Would absolutely recommend taking this tour of the city and especially with Darwin!

Edgar Entertainment

Edgar was amazing!! His tour was outstanding. He took us to see the wonderful parts of Puerta Plata which included a visit to a fort, rum distillery and walked us through the streets to see other sights. He allowed the time and space to enjoy these sights. I would highly recommend booking this!! Our day ended with a nice lunch at a restaurant and a gift from Edgar. This was my FAVORITE excursion.

Darcy_C, Apr 2026

My husband and myself...

My husband and myself really enjoyed this excursion, they were incredibly friendly and helpful, Oscar, Liam and another gentleman whos name I cant recall sadly, were great company and extremely competent. We felt very safe and well taken care of, highly recommend! There are locals offering sales and hair braiding at the beach but theyre very friendly and not aggressively pushy, just there trying to make a living. Beautiful beach and the trail through the woods was very clear to navigate. I was a first time rider and despite how inexperienced i was, they were kind and patient!
