Top Puerto Plata Day Trips

Excellent tour company! Very professional. They reached out to us to confirm the booking and even noted that I chose the wrong day (our ship was not in that port till another day) and explained how to correct it. Then a week or two before our tour they reached out again to tell us what to expect and provide instructions. On the day of the excursion, our group had just done a beach day the prior day and really wanted to do more sightseeing after the snorkeling instead of beach time. Richard was kind enough to make other arrangements for us and made it possible. Our guides for snorkeling were excellent and even provided assistance to a family member who panicked and started to struggle in the water. We all had a lot of fun and greatly enjoyed our added on tour experience with Franklin as he showed us around Puerto Plata plus a chocolate and an amber museum (as Richard drove us around). Before we were back on the ship we had even already received pictures from the snorkeling! Thanks to Lotta, Richard, Franklin, Alex and Elvis for an incredible time.

Easy booking and Lotta reached out to us with information about getting picked up right away. Picked up by Richard, the company owner, who is very knowledgeable about the DR. After a long but comfortable ride to Sosua, we were fitted for gear and headed down to the beach to boat out to the reef spots. We had a personalized tour for just our family of six, but the larger cruise excursions were also there. Meh, more people equaled more fish food and more fish to see. The company will even take photos and videos of your family to send home to you before you leave, all excellent quality. Employees Alex, Elvis, and Franklin were top notch. Day ended at the beach where you can expect tourist prices on food and beer, despite the favorable exchange rate. (Consider the $1 empanadas right outside the tour office!) Overall great experience! Safe, easy, and WAY cheaper than the cruise excursions. Thanks, Eric and company!

Fantastic experience. It’s a 45 minute hiking trail up with lots of steps and then down a lot of steps. This adventure is not for someone with any kind of disability. Or gets winded a lot. You also need good balance because once you’re in the water you’re traversing through rocky ground. Several water slides through the rock formations and two big jumps off a platform. You’re 20 to 30 feet jumping in. Once your back they fed us a wonderful buffet of food. The food was delicious. It wasn’t an afterthought. The local cuisine was delicious. Pile on the white rice and spoon in a lot of the beans on the rice. You’ll thank me later. We felt like some dessert after which isn’t included but the coconut ice cream was phenomenal. Great experience with the family. Highly recommend!
