Transportation in Puerto Plata

Experience 5 Hours Freedom Exploring Puerto Plata

Cherish the Dominican Republic

Communication with Elian and his family was outstanding prior to arrival at Puerto Plata, making our journey smooth from the getgo. After meeting with Elian,y wife and I (yes, just the 2 of us!) were whisked away in a comfortable vehicle with cold AC and on our way. Elian was great with recommendations on what to see and we quickly left the port area, on our way to the Christ the Redeener statue at the top of the mountain you can see from the cruise port. Throughout our journey, Elian was enthusiastically conversational and very passionate for his home. He narrated interesting areas, explained cultural norms, and provided an insight that would be impossible on a larger tour. After arrival At the mountaintop, Elian was an expert in seeing the best views, hidden gems that other tours can't access, and helping us capture the memories we were looking for. The time spent with him Was truly a joy and we cannot recommend him enough. At the end of our tour, he provided us with a keepsake gift commemorating our time together--again a special touch you only get on a private tour with people who care deeply about sharing their passion for their home. We will happily book with Elian again in the future.

Puerto Plata City Tours and Beach Amber Cove Taino Bay Port

Puerto Plata

We were a party of four women over the age of 60 years. We found Barney on our Cruise FB page. We researched and decides to book the private tour. The instructions Barney gave us were easy to follow and he was where he said would be, when he said he would be there. He introduced our driver and guide and we climbed aboard the bus and started our adventure. Water, and soda were offered and served, as well as a sample of The Dominican Republic's famous Mamajuana! Our guides were informative, friendly, and accommodating. They carried our bags, took pictures of our group, and assisted us as needed. We felt safe the entire time. There are police on all corners. And throngs of people! We visited the Amber Factory, quite informative! We bought jewelry made of Amber, and Larimer. Stunning designs! We also visited the cocoa and coffee factory where we sampled coffee, chocolate, hot cocoa, and a few wines. We were also treated to samples of skin care that is made from cocoa and coconut, and coffee. The safari bus trip up the mountain to see The Christ statue was amazing! Beautiful views, Interesting scenery. Cows, donkeys, chickens, banana trees, plantain trees, avocado trees. The views from the top are stunning! Breathtaking! Once we came down the mountain we visited Pink Street and Umbrella Street, and The City Plaza. We were going to have lunch but us ladies had spent too much time shopping and the guide wanted to be sure we were back on the ship in time. Which we were. However, one of us said we wanted to try a fresh banana. Next thing we know we had pulled off the road and our guide, Paulino, jumped out and ran up to a local fruit stand and bought us all bananas for us to try! All in all this was the best excursion I've done in a long time! Do not be afraid to try them out! *Caution: Prices are not shown for anything. They want you to put everything you'd like to purchase in a bucket and then make a 'package deal'. If I go back to Amber Cove again I would do this excursion again!
