Itinerary
Quick stop at a chocolate factory in Puerto Plata is a delightful experience that indulges both the senses and the spirit. Nestled in the lush landscapes of the Dominican Republic, the factory offers a unique opportunity to explore the rich history and processes behind one of the world’s favorite treats.
Blue Lagoon is a stunning natural attraction known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and lush scenery. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities, including swimming and snorkeling in its two pristine lagoons, which are surrounded by lush vegetation. For the adventurous, the nearby zip-lining experience offers an exhilarating way to soar through the treetops, providing breathtaking views of the landscape and a thrilling rush before diving into the refreshing waters below.
This stop at Playa Diamanté, a pristine beach destination that captivates visitors with its natural beauty and serene ambiance. Translated as "Diamond Beach," it lives up to its name with its sparkling turquoise waters and shimmering golden sands. Whether you're strolling along the shore, basking in the sun, or taking a refreshing dip in the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea, Playa Diamanté offers a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With its unspoiled coastline and picturesque surroundings, this beach is a true gem that invites relaxation, rejuvenation, and the creation of unforgettable memories.
Playa Grande is a hidden gem that beckons with its pristine beauty. At this beach, we will have lunch on the beach, with included typical Dominican dishes, such as rice, beans, meat (chicken, pork, beef, etc.), salad, and soft drinks. This will be our longest stop where you can enjoy your lunch and the beautiful scenery this beach offers. Whether you're lounging on the shore, swimming in the crystal-clear sea, or simply immersing yourself in the tranquil atmosphere, Playa Grande offers a serene escape where you can unwind and reconnect with nature.
Playa Caletón, or Caleton Beach, is a beautiful, crescent-shaped beach located in the Rio San Juan. There are several things to do there, such as swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling. This makes it a great place to relax and enjoy the scenery. One notable feature of Caleton Beach is its mystical feel, a product of the lush vegetation and rocky landscape. There are also some sculpted faces of Taino Indian chiefs, adding a unique historical element to the location.

We had a wonderful private tour with our guide Neil! He was very accommodating, drove safely, and was incredibly kind—especially with the kids. The chocolate factory was educational and interesting, and the fresh bananas and grapefruit were amazing (some of the best grapefruit I’ve ever had!). We visited Playa Grande and Playa Caletón—Playa Grande had strong waves like a natural wave pool, great for strong swimmers, while Playa Caletón was calm and perfect for relaxing. Lunch was absolutely delicious and everything was perfect. Neil even took photos for us, which we really appreciated. Highly recommend touring with him!
Hey Constance, AWESOME!! glad you and the family had a great time! Thank you for trusting in us and come back soon! Safe Travels
Poor Communication. language barrier with the operators. Our guide Anthony was nice, but communication was not clear. The trip shows 5 spots. on of the spots we did not visit, and we were not told why until we asked, they said that the beach was closed. it takes about an hour between stops and that is not listed on the details. The bathrooms in these stops are not clean. Sellers of trinkets are everywhere, and you cannot really sit in peace on the beach. The city and the road are full of garbage.
Hi Hiyam, sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your time on the island. We will sit down with the team and go over how important communication is. The one beach was closed due high amounts of Sargasso in the waters, which we found out last minute as this could appear overnight. As a high tourist area the venders could be pushy but we can't control that, bathrooms are highly used and I agree are not the cleanest at times, and as a city we can definitely do better as well to keep it cleaner. I think 2 stars as OUR review is unfair based on the reasons given as this was booked the day before and we tried our best to accommodate you and your family. We will grow from this experience, wish you all the best and safe travels!
He's a great driver. It is very nice. He's on time and Flexible The vehicles are in order and clean. I highly recommend .
Merci beaucoup pour vos gentils mots ! Bon voyage !
We had amazing time on this tour. The only downside was they didn’t follow the itinerary that was originally offered when we booked. I had to ask to go to the cacao plantation but they had no problem with it and it was such an experience! We also didn’t go to all the beaches on the list. We went to Playa Grande where they had a nice Dominican lunch on the beach. And Dudu lagoon was so much fun! Overall, we enjoyed the experience.
Hi Tyler, first off glad to hear you had an amazing time! I spoke to the drivers regarding time management, although we're very lenient with time, the tour must be completed or communicate with the customer so they're aware if time was running out. They said you guys were having a blast at Playa Grande and did not want to ruin the moment :). Thank you again! Safe Travels and hope to see you guys again!
As a woman solo traveler I had the best experience and I am so thankful I had the opportunity to book this trip in advance. My tour guy was Neo and he was so respectful and nice. I will give this experience a 10/10 and fully recommend anyone to book this. Thank you for this beautiful opportunity.
Hi Paola, David here, thank you for this review and words to our solo travels. This is what Michel, our team of professional drivers and myself strive for. Safe Travels and hope to see you again!
