  • Macorix House of Rum - Macorix House of Rum is a historical museum of the Ron Family Macorix was born in 1899 by the Carrión family from the town of San Pedro de Macorís, a place considered by many to be the land of poets, artists and sugar cane.

110 years later, Ron Macorix became part of the Vinícola del Norte family of the port city of Puerto Plata, uniting two emblematic rum-producing towns in the Dominican Republic.

The Cathedral of San Felipe Apostol or simply tCathedral of Puerto Plata is a temple of the Catholic Church that is located on Calle José del Carmen Ariza 36 in the city of Puerto Plata, part of the province of the same name to the north of the island La Spanish and the Caribbean country of the Dominican Republic.

The cultivation, processing and exporting of raw cocoa and other cocoa products is a large portion of their economy and they do it well!

Much of their chocolate makes it’s way to the US and Europe.

Awesome tour - Yuery was our tour guide for the day, and he was excellent. We got to learn and see so much in a few hours. He was very knowledgeable. Everyone enjoyed themselves. The tour was also flexible, so if you have other sights in mind its not a problem. He was accommodating. We enjoyed it and hope to visit again. 😀 I forgot to ask for the wifi and not able to give a review on that part. We did get the water that's included. We went to all the stops listed and one of our requests also. The kids also had a blast. Don't wait, just book them.

Great Tour of the City - This was a great tour with many different stops. Yeury was a fantastic guide and even stopped so that we could get empanadas. He took some great pictures of our family and was a pleasure to be around. The tour of the fort was even included. This is a perfect trip for someone on a cruise that is making a stop in Puerto Plata. You will be back in plenty of time to get back on the ship.

Flexible and awesome tour! - Aribel was an awesome tour guide and accommodated all our needs for this tour. We were a family of 10 consisting of toddler age to senior age. Aribel was flexible with our times and our sightseeing goals. The air conditioned van was comfortable and likely superior to the open air vehicles a lot of cruise tours had on a hot day. This was a wonderful way to see some highlights of Dominican Republic within 3-4hrs.

3 Ladies who highly enjoyed this excursion - While on our cruise port stop in Puerto Plata, I booked my mother in law and my two aunts on this excursion (the rest of our group were going on a dune buggy excursion). These 3 ladies (65-70 y/o) came back so happy and thankful they did this excursion with Aribel. They could not stop talking about it for the rest of the day and the trip… I was afraid they wouldn’t enjoy it because it was away from the rest of the group but they had the best time and felt very safe. Thank you for making it memorable for them.
