Discover Cayo Arena’s beauty on a guided day trip from Puerto Plata, Sosua, and Cabarete. Explore hidden gems and enjoy a serene adventure.
- Playa de Punta Rucia - Here, we will board a local boat to take us to Cayo Paraiso / Cayo Arena. If sea conditions permit, we’ll pause for a few minutes at a natural pool with crystal-clear water in the middle of the sea.
- Paradise Island & The Mangroves (Cayo Arena) - From these northwestern shores, boats head to the offshore Cayo Arena, also known as Cayo Paraíso, which offers excellent diving opportunities for beginners, starting at five meters (16 feet). Schools of tropical fish are easily visible in the shallow turquoise waters, making it a paradise for snorkeling enthusiasts. This area is home to some of the richest marine life in the Dominican Republic, with corals and sponges surrounding the caye, where octopuses, crabs, schools of surgeonfish, sergeant majors, damselfish, angelfish, and yellowtail snappers swim around your feet. This tiny sandbank is also an idyllic spot to relax and take numerous beach selfies.
- Monte Cristi National Park (Parque Nacional Monte Cristi) - The dry, subtropical forest landscape around El Morro is bordered by extensive mangrove stands that can be explored on foot or by boat through a network of inland waterways and lagoons where you can enjoy a swim. Iguanas and numerous bird species, such as frigatebirds, herons, egrets, the American oystercatcher, and waterfowls, including migratory species, inhabit the mangroves and forest of El Morro. The park entrance is easily accessible from town, less than a ten-minute drive away, and several tour companies offer boat excursions around the lagoons and mangroves.
