Good overview of the area - Alex, our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. The tour was fun and the beach just lovely. Be prepared for LONG walk to pickup/drop-off spot.

The perfect tour! - We had a great time on this tour! We received perfect instructions on how to navigate to the tour outside of the cruise terminal. It is a little bit of a walk, so be sure you are waiting to get off the ship first! We were taken to the town of Puerto Plata where we had a short walking tour and learned the history of the city. We were able to stop in some shops where we were offered to try Mamajuana and learned the history of Larimar. We also stopped at a cafe where we were able to try hot chocolate and coffee; it was the best I’ve had! We also saw Pink St and Umbrella St. Our tour guide then stopped us by an overlook, and then we headed to Playa Dorada for two hours. Free water was offered along the entire tour. On the way back, they gave us rum punch, and our tour guide even stopped and picked us up some fresh, ripe bananas! Overall a 10/10 experience. Perfect for families. Can’t wait to come back!

First visit - Our first visit to the Dominican and our tour guide Winston was the best and made it very memorable, loved learning the history and he was very knowledgeable. Loved seeing the umbrella and pink streets and ended up having the beach to ourselves, which was the icing on the cake. My only suggestion is to have more detailed directions on where to meet them.

Family of 5 - This Excursion was definitely a wonderful experience. Xander was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Only challenging thing was the walk to the meeting spot but I wouldn't hold it against them as the cruise lines have monopolized who can come into the port to pick up passengers. We were a family of 5 and definitely enjoyed every bit of the excursion.

Puerto Plata Tour - We enjoyed our Puerto Plata Adventure Tours. I love that it is in a smaller van so we have just the right amount of people in our group. The city is beautiful. Our trip there was timed right so that we can spend more time in the Blue Tar Beach which was beautiful. I highly recommend this tour!

Puerto Plata tour - We stopped here on a cruise and the tour was the perfect way to spend the time here. We explored the town, had chance to buy coffee for souvenirs to bring home and spent time at a nice beach to relax. I enjoyed the small group. The vans were very nice and clean. Winston was a great tour guide. You’re in great hands on this tour.
