This combined tour has been designed by experts to give you a perfect day that mixes the excitement of nature with the charm of history, all without you having to worry about a thing. Start and Pickup Your day kicks off with a stress-free pick-up right from your hotel lobby or the meeting point at your cruise port (Amber Cove or Taino Bay). Our guide will welcome you and take you to our comfy, air-conditioned vehicle. From there, we'll head to our first stop, soaking in the views of the Dominican landscape while your guide shares cool facts about local life. First Stop: Monkey Sanctuary (Monkey Home) Our first adventure will take you to a magical sanctuary where dozens of friendly squirrel monkeys are waiting for you. Here, you'll have the amazing chance to hang out with them in a safe and respectful setting. Feel their soft touch as they eat from your hand, laugh at their antics as they jump on your shoulders, and snap photos that'll be the treasure of your trip.

This awesome 16th-century structure, which watches over the bay, is the perfect spot to learn about pirates, battles, and the founding of Puerto Plata. Feel the sea breeze as you explore its canyons and walls, and take in the amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean. End of the Tour and Return At the end of our exploration, the tour will wrap up with a comfy ride back.
