    Step into a glistening world frozen in time at the Puerto Plata Amber Museum. Hold history close as you marvel at amber pieces millions of years old, each a tiny window to a vanished world. Witness nature's breathtaking artistry in formations both raw and polished, from sun-kissed droplets to gleaming jewels. Be captivated by perfectly preserved insects and lizards, tiny time travelers trapped in amber's embrace, offering a glimpse into a primordial paradise. Immerse yourself in the Dominican Republic's unique amber deposits, born in the heart of rainforests that still whisper ancient tales.

Let their inspiring gaze linger with you as you soak in the vibrant pulse of Puerto Plata.

    20 minutes

    Step into a time warp at San Felipe Fortress, Puerto Plata's mighty sentinel. Imagine cannons booming, guarding against invaders in the 16th century. Witness the fortress's transformation from a Spanish stronghold to a Dominican landmark, each stone etched with tales of conquest and resilience. Climb to the highest point, and the world becomes a breathtaking panorama (picture turquoise waters stretching to the horizon, dotted with galleons slicing through the trade winds, their sails billowing like dreams). Descend into shadowy tunnels and hidden chambers (feel the coolness of the stone, the whispers of battles past), where history hums beneath your feet. Unravel mysteries within the museum's captivating exhibits (see swords glinting in the dim light, muskets frozen in time). Discover the stories of soldiers, pirates, and everyday life within the fortress walls.

    20 minutes

  • Malecon Puerto Plata

    Breathe in the salty symphony of crashing waves and bachata beats as you stroll the Malecon, Puerto Plata's vibrant heartbeat. Watch fishing boats bob on the turquoise horizon, their sails kissed by the sun. As dusk paints the sky in fiery hues, the ocean echoes the blaze, leaving you mesmerized. Embark on a culinary fiesta, savoring fresh seafood, and tropical ice cream that melts like the fading sunset. Let artistic auras seep into your soul at vibrant stalls, each souvenir a whispered story of Puerto Plata's magic. This isn't just a walk, it's a tapestry woven with ocean whispers, fiery sunsets, and a taste of paradise. Wander, and discover the beauty that unfolds on the Malecon.

    Delve into a symphony of chocolate bliss at Del Oro Factory, Puerto Plata! Breathe in the alluring aroma of roasted beans, your guide to the secrets within. Witness humble cacao transformed into velvety delights, each a testament to skilled artisans' love and precision.

    25 minutes

  • Puerto Plata Cable Car

    Ascend through a symphony of life in Puerto Plata's Teleferico, the emerald rainforest canopy whispering secrets with every leaf. Rise above the verdant tapestry, sunlight dappling your skin, until the turquoise Caribbean unfurls like a breathtaking panorama, dotted with sailboats dancing on its surface. Witness the dramatic coastline where waves crash against volcanic cliffs, painting rainbows in the spray. Explore vibrant botanical gardens at the summit, home to exotic blooms and butterflies. As the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in fiery hues and the ocean in molten gold, descend with a heart brimming with memories of a sky-high adventure.

Fun Tour

Published on Sep, 2024

It was a private tour just my husband and I. Jose was very accommodating and friendly. He even took pictures for us at the various stops. Loved going down Pink Street and the entire experience was enjoyable!

Puerta Plata tour, taxi

Published on Aug, 2024

Booked a last minute Puerta Plata tour while staying at the Lifestyle Resorts.. Communication was efficient and the details were easy to navigate. Our driver Osiris arrived on time to pick us up. The van was clean and air conditioned. We chose a tour of the Rum factory which was enjoyable, visited the Amber Museum, went to Umbrella Street and the Pink Street, the Church, the city center with the birds. We played dominos with our driver and I fed the street dogs :-)! We then toured the BLVD along the ocean and visited the fort for photos. Our driver then returned is to our hotel. I was happy with my booking and would use the company again.
