Explore the Best of Puerto Plata from Taino Bay

Enjoy the stunning landscapes and rich history of Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic on this fun, active excursion.

You'll join your host for a comfortable, air-conditioned ride through energetic Puerto Plata, passing through the quaint San Marcos village nestled at Mount Isabela's base. As you gently ascend through idyllic rural villages and myriad farms, you'll notice the cool change in weather, a wonderful foil for the breath-taking views from your 3000-feet vantage point.

At the summit, you'll be guided to the Christ Statue, an awe-inspiring replica of Rio de Janeiro's Christ the Redeemer. Next, explore the verdant botanical gardens, where an abundance of photo opportunities await before you embark on your scenic descent.

At the mountain base, a quick stop precedes your venture into Puerto Plata's historic district. Here, traverse the grounds of the venerable Fort San Felipe, dive into Puerto Plata's pirate-infested past, and uncover the city's unique ties to Queen Victoria. Continue to Umbrella Street, Paseo de Dona Blanca (also known as Pink Street), and finally, Parque Independencia, or Central Park. You'll have a chance to step into the cathedral in Central Park before seizing some free time for photos or shopping.

Throughout your expedition, we keep you refreshed with bottled water, and for a touch of local flavor, our signature rum punch is at your service. From summit vistas to historic urban landscapes, this tour is a perfect blend of Puerto Plata's natural beauty and cultural wealth. Book now and add a dash of adventure to your journey.
