The experience
The tour starts at Parque Central, where you experience local culture and visit St. Philip Apostle Cathedral, then stroll the unique Pink Street (Calle del Sol) and the colorful Umbrella Street before stopping at a local cigar factory and gift shop. A short drive along the Malecon brings you to Fort San Felipe, a 16th-century structure that was essential to Puerto Plata's defense. You view it from outside and get an outstanding view of the harbor from there. The bus then heads to Adventure Park, surrounded by tropical landscape.
At Adventure Park you can walk through a tropical garden, learn about the plants and meet the friendly animals, then refresh yourself in a saltwater pool. A home-cooked Dominican meal is included (rice, beans, chicken, fried plantains, vegetables and salad) along with one bottle of water that you can refill unlimited times during the tour. Professional guides speak English, Spanish, French or German, and round-trip transport in an air-conditioned vehicle departs 45 minutes after your ship arrives at the port.
Is this one for you?Five hours leaves room for a meal and rest before or after the tour on your port day, though the walking at Parque Central and through the tropical garden means you should be comfortable on your feet for stretches of the morning.
