11. Triple Adventure: Ziplining, Waterfalls, and Buggy Ride
5.0· 24 reviews· 5 hoursA day of thrill in Cabarete, including ziplining, waterfall jumps, and ATV rides, with transportation, lunch, and drinks included.
“We arranged all our airport transfers, taxis, and activities, including the waterfalls and ATV tour, with Ishmael Tours, and they exceeded our expectations. The drivers served as exceptional ambassadors for Cabarete. Eddy and Christian provided us with seamless, professional service, always welcoming us with smiles and laughter. They even shared some Spanish with us, adding to the fun. Parting with them was bittersweet, but it feels more like a "see you later" than a farewell.”— katiei725
22. Puerto Plata city tour and Mount Isabel de Torres by truck
4.6· 227 reviews· 4.7 hoursFour hours via open-air truck — visit Independence Central Park, the Amber Museum, and Mount Isabel de Torres with its stunning views.
“My partner and I opted for this tour, and it turned out to be the perfect way to explore the city. Our guide Juan enhanced our experience beyond our expectations. He took us to all the key attractions and even some lesser-known spots, sharing insights about the city’s history, its people, and the land. We appreciated visiting both tourist hotspots and authentic Puerto Plata neighborhoods. Juan communicated clearly in English, making it easy for us to engage with him. He also took us to a fantastic restaurant for lunch that served genuine Dominican cuisine. Throughout the tour, Juan prioritized our safety and comfort, ensuring we felt secure in the city. We had an incredible day, largely thanks to him. The city is wonderful, and I highly recommend this tour.”— Stay39281310959
33. Catamaran party cruise with snorkeling and barbecue
4.5· 55 reviews· 4 hoursThree-hour cruise from Sosua Beach—snorkeling, barbecue lunch, and drinks included, with lively music throughout.
“This tour comes highly recommended. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke excellent English. We snorkeled at two spots, witnessing stunning colorful fish and a vibrant coral reef, just like in the promotional materials. The atmosphere was lively, with party music and dancing on board after a BBQ lunch featuring freshly grilled meat, making it an enjoyable half-day experience. If you easily get seasick as I do, make sure to take Dramamine or Gravol before boarding! I forgot, which led to my seasickness. However, the staff were incredibly compassionate and organized a speedboat to return me to shore when I didn't improve after half an hour. I was able to relax under an umbrella on the beach while the rest of my family continued their adventure.”— Colette_C
44. Three-hour horseback riding tour in Puerto Plata
4.5· 97 reviews· 3 hoursThree hours of guided horseback riding through tropical scenery, with pickup from local hotels and the cruise port included.
“Our pickup on a hot day was disappointing as the driver had no air conditioning in his vehicle. We were dropped off on the roadside with two locals and four horses. The horseback riding experience lasted just under an hour, with most of the time spent traveling to and from the beach, leaving us with only about 20 minutes to ride on the beach itself.”— Glenn_C
55. Paradise Island tour and snorkeling from Cabarete
4.3· 60 reviewsFull-day tour from Cabarete to Cayo Arena with speedboat transfers, guided snorkeling, lunch, and fruit service on the beach.
“This experience exceeded our expectations. The island was stunning with crystal-clear waters, just like in pictures, and we had fun feeding fish by hand. All the necessary gear was included. The only downside was the lengthy bus ride of over 2.5 hours, but our driver and host were friendly, the bus was well-ventilated, and the time passed quickly. After snorkeling, we enjoyed a speedboat ride through the mangroves in the national park, which was also a blast. The lunch buffet was delicious. I highly recommend this memorable trip to anyone.”— 417shelbyn
