Description

Get ready for the most complete and diverse family adventure in Puerto Plata. This expertly designed tour offers you a perfect day that combines the thrill 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 punctual and stress-free pick-up right from your hotel lobby or the designated meeting point at your cruise port (Amber Cove or Taino Bay). Our guide will welcome you and escort you to our comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. From there, we'll head to our first stop, enjoying views of the Dominican landscape while your guide shares interesting 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 await. Here, you'll have the unique opportunity to interact with them in a safe and respectful environment. Feel their soft touch as they eat from your hand, laugh at their mischievous antics as they jump on your shoulders, and snap photos that will be the treasure of your trip. Second Stop: The Historic Heart of Puerto Plata After saying goodbye to our furry friends, we'll dive into the city's vibrant culture. We'll make a stop in the historic quarter so you can stroll around and photograph the famous Calle de las Sombrillas and the colorful Callejón Rosado. Third Stop: The Fortress of San Felipe Next, we'll head to the most iconic point in the city's history: the San Felipe Fortress. This imposing 16th-century structure, which watches over the bay, is the perfect place to learn about pirates, battles, and the founding of Puerto Plata. Enjoy the sea breeze as you explore its canyons and ramparts, and admire the spectacular panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. End of the Tour and Return At the end of our exploration, the tour will wrap up with a comfortable return trip. We'll drop you off at the exact same spot where we picked you up (your hotel or cruise port), ensuring your only concern for the day is to enjoy yourself to the fullest. With all the tickets, an expert guide, and transportation handled, this is the smartest and most fun way to experience the best of Puerto Plata in a single day.
