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.

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

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.

    Breathe in the salty symphony of crashing waves and bachata beats as you stroll the Malecon, Puerto Plata's vibrant heartbeat.

Fun Tour

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.
