Discover Puerto Plata: Excursions & Transportation

A mix of Dominican culture, nature and adrenaline

Nestled between a towering mountain and the pristine Caribbean Sea, Puerto Plata combines old colonial charm and the exuberant nature of a tropical Caribbean destination.

While the area’s white and golden beaches are clearly the main attraction, the local Damajuagua cascades, the Ocean World water park, and the Christ the Redeemer statue atop Isabella de Torres mountain, which you can reach by cable car, are just part of the reason that this wonderful beach destination.

Puerto Plata’s old town hosts the largest collection of Victorian architecture in the Caribbean. The town’s history goes way back to the beginnings of the New World. In fact, in 1493 Christopher Columbus set anchor here. The Puerto Plata city tour will show you all this and many more secrets that this city has to offer.

There are also plenty of activities outside the city, with an Outback Safari expedition that takes you on exciting all-terrain activities across forested mountains and horseback rides back down to civilization.

For a more laid-back experience, discover wild tropical birds and fish throughout the mangroves of Cayo Arena Island and don a snorkel mask to view the picturesque coral reefs that surround the area.

The best part of it is that you can come to enjoy the Caribbean sun in Puerto Plata any time of the year. And with world-class transfers from Puerto Plata Airport to your resort, you'll be relaxing Dominican-style in no time! Come to Puerto Plata for a perfect vacation, and make sure to live it with Amstar!
