What to do and see in Puerto Plata, Puerto Plata Province: The Best Sightseeing Tours

July 19, 2021 Jeremy Dunfee

Well-priced, all-inclusive beach resorts are the norm around Puerto Plata. Take a cable car to the peak of Mount Isabel de Torres, enjoy a concert at an amphitheater facing the Atlantic Ocean, visit the 16th-century San Felipe Fortress. Explore the nearby falls of Damajagua, snorkel off the beautiful island of Cayo Arena or play a round of golf in spectacular surroundings. Then discover the neighboring towns of Cabarete, a kite-boarding hub, and Sosúa, a picturesque beach spot.

I went to Puerto Plata last december with my son. The people from the tour are very kind and serviceable, the native people from the place were also really polite and they're always trying to be the best hosts you can have!!!! I've been to Puerto Plata before, but this experience was even better. I hope to come back as soon as possible :)

We were in town for a cruise and we booked this shore excursion through the website before the cruise. We had a great experience. We had 14 in our group the oldest was 62 and youngest was 4. No matter the age everyone had a great time. Our tour guide Michael was amazing. He was patient with the kids and very knowledgeable as far as facts about our ride. The buggy’s were very roomy and the route was beautiful views. I would recommend this to anyone. We stopped at a local house and had local beer and also were able to buy local cigars. When you are in town book with these people and you will not be disappointed.
