Description

Hi, guys! Discover the authentic soul of the Dominican Republic with the luxury and exclusivity you deserve! Meticulously designed for cruise ship passengers, this premium private tour takes you away from crowded sightseeing tour coaches to offer you an unforgettable getaway that combines colonial history, rural roots, and relaxation on pristine beaches. Your VIP trip begins with a smooth pick-up service directly inside your port terminal (Amber Cove or Taino Bay). Skip the long walks outside the doors: our team will be waiting for you right in the harbor lobby to guide you to your modern, private, air-conditioned vehicle, exclusive to your family or group. History and Instagram spots: First, explore the beautiful historic center of Puerto Plata. Stroll through its vibrant, colorful Victorian streets, including the famous Calle de los Paraguas and the pink-hued Paseo de Doña Blanca, the best spots for your holiday photos. You can also marvel at the imposing Fortress of San Felipe, a 16th-century historical treasure facing the Atlantic Ocean. The heart of the countryside: Next, we leave the city behind and venture into the lush landscapes of the Dominican countryside. We'll visit a traditional farmhouse where you'll discover the secrets of organic coffee and cocoa cultivation. Enjoy an authentic, freshly prepared food tasting while experiencing firsthand the warmth and hospitality of our people. Paradise and beachfront food at Playa Dorada: To end the day perfectly, we'll head to Playa Dorada, one of the most beautiful golden sandy beaches on the north coast. As this is a private tour, you'll have maximum flexibility. The beach is full of excellent local restaurants and bars, offering a wide variety of food and drink options (not included in the price) so you can order exactly what you want by the ocean. A special gift from Jey Tours: So you can enjoy the beach stress-free, sunbeds and umbrellas are included as a complimentary gift from Jey Tours! Sit back, have a drink, and enjoy the ocean breeze without worrying about additional charges. After a perfect day, enjoy a comfortable ride back with our guaranteed on-time drop-off at your cruise ship. Experience Puerto Plata like a true VIP! Best regards, Jeremy
