Details
Visit fishing villages and mangrove waterways
Your Puerto Plata Paradise Island tour starts with an air-conditioned ride from your resort to take you to the northern coast and the mountainous landscape of Punta Rucia. This quaint fishing village features a gorgeous soft sand beach nestled among the green tropical mountains.But you’re not staying here long! Instead, board a VIP boat and pass through the area’s flora and fauna in a natural mangrove waterway that opens to a turquoise blue sea dotted with coral reefs. The journey to Cayo Arena could even afford you a glimpse of the manatees that call the Dominican mangroves home, as well as dolphins at play in the sea.
Enjoy a sandy beach buffet on a private island
Once arriving at Cayo Arena, your boat will drop anchor and you’ll have a chance to swim in the warm sea. Snorkel above the coral and take in the colorful fish and sea life swimming beneath water that’s practically crystal clear.Afterward, sail back to Punta Rucia, where you’ll enjoy a VIP buffet lunch that includes seafood and Dominican specialties. When your Puerto Plata Paradise Island excursion wraps up, your awaiting vehicle will take you back to your resort at the end of a relaxing day.
