Start and PickupYour day begins with a punctual and stress-free pickup directly from your hotel lobby or the designated meeting point at your cruise port (Amber Cove or Taino Bay). Our tour guide will welcome you and accompany you to our comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. From there, we will head to our first stop, enjoying the views of the Dominican landscape while your tour guide shares interesting facts about local life.
Our first adventure will take you to a magical sanctuary where dozens of friendly squirrel monkeys await you. Here, you will 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 antics as they jump on your shoulders, and capture photos that will be the treasure of your trip.
Second Stop: Historic Heart of Puerto Plata
After saying goodbye to our furry friends, we will immerse ourselves in the vibrant culture of the city. We will stop in the historic center so you can stroll and photograph the famous Calle de las Sombrillas (Umbrella Street) and the colorful Callejón Rosado (Pink Alley).
Third Stop: San Felipe Fortress
Next, we'll travel to the most iconic spot in the city's history: the Fortaleza de San Felipe. This imposing 16th-century structure, which overlooks 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 cannons and walls and admire the spectacular panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean.
End of the Tour and ReturnAt the end of our exploration, the tour will conclude with a comfortable return trip. We will drop you off at the exact same spot where we picked you up (your hotel or cruise port), ensuring that your only concern for the day is to enjoy yourself to the fullest.
