Description

The car transfer to Paradise Island takes about 2h from Puerto Plata or 3h from Cabarete. On the way you can admire the beautiful rural landscapes and every day life of the villagers. Once in Punta Rucia you'll take a open speedboat to Paradise Island. After about 10 min of ride you'll stop at the 'natural swimming pool' which is a shallow with azur water. You can swim and have some cuba libre served in the ocean, while enjoying the views. Another 10 min of ride and you'll arrive to Paradise Island - a patch of white sand in the middle of the ocean. It's time for coral reef snorkel with your guide. You'll see lots of fish and different corals - it's the best snorkling area in the whole country. Once you'll be back on the island you'll have time for relax, more cuba libre, sunbathing, playing in the ocean and taking amazing pictures. When heading back to the harbor, you'll explore the extense mangrove forest - Monte Cristi National Park. The speedboat will penetrate the labirynth of roots growing directly in the ocean. After a cruise you'll taste some oysters harvested in the morning in this very mangrove forest. Local beach near Punta Rucia is famous among the locals for its fresh fish and seafood. You can have a meal there for about 15$ per person. Langusta is usually about twice as expensive. To complete your tour, discover the Manatee Sanctuary hidden in a bay among the mangrove forests. Even if you don't get to see these skittish marine mammals, the place is full of charm and worth a visit. We're sure you're be happy and satisfied when getting back to your hotel, about 6pm.
