The 10 Best Day Trips from in Sosua, Puerto Plata Province

April 6, 2022 Milan Banda

Sosua is everything you want a beach town to be. Clear waters teem with coral, perfect for snorkeling and diving. Above sea level you’ll find multicolored sands lined with beach shacks. This small enclave of the Dominican Republic was once a haven for Jewish refugees. Historic sites and synagogues offer great perspective on Sosua’s postwar identity. On a lighter note, a community of ex-pats helps fuel a boisterous, international nightlife scene.

The VIP tour to Paradise Island starts early in the morning because we like to get to the island before all the other tourists arrives. It is an amazing feeling to be alone on the island. This tour is a great way to spend with your family and friends. The pick up time is at 5:30 am from Cabarete, 6:00 am from Sosua and at 6:30 am from Puerto Plata. First we drive to Punta Rucia and from there with a speed boat to " Cayo Arena " ( the local name of Paradise Island ), where turquoise water and white sand will welcome you. On the Paradise Island you will get fresh fruits and drinks. Discover the bright colorful reef with all kinds of fishes on our snorkeling tour, or just enjoy the sun and the beach at this beautiful place. Before lunch we visit the national park of Monte Cristi with its mangroves. On the way back we will make a stop at Playa Estero Hondo to have look at the Manatees ( sea cows ).

Inclusions: National Park fees, Beverages, Buffet lunch, Driver/guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off, Use of Snorkelling equipment, Alcoholic Beverages

I am deathly afraid of the ocean, so why not paddle board?? The owner Richard spent alot of time with me to get the basics...then stayed right with me all around the bay. IT WAS AMAZING!!!! I was able to get out on the water and stay up the whole time. Looking down the coral and fish were absolutely beautiful. I can't wait to get out there again....thanks again Richard for everything ????????????.. Bringing my spouse next week for lessons.
