Puerto Plata: Island Escape: Cayo Arena och Mangrove Boat Ride

I was a perfect experience ,I suggest everyone to go. Don’t miss it . Great tour lead , exploring the whole town and getting familiar with the culture with 2 hours on drive from hotel to the beach

The experience was very good, Mr. Miguel went to the villa to present himself in person and helped us throughout the process, we went in a private water that looked for us and took us there, back and forth. The driver was very good, let us play the music we wanted, offered to stop when we needed bath. Already on the island he helped us with everything from equipment to helping us collect trash. The tour was super good and everything flowed quickly. The food was delicious, typical Dominican food very good 10/10. 100% recommend the tour. Fall Sand is beautiful, literally swimming with fish and in crystal clear waters, it is one of the most beautiful experiences I have ever had.

Paradise Island is such a great place to visit especially if you are at a resort (All Inclusive) and need a break. It was so easy to book over whatsapp and Miguel is extremely prompt with his replies. The tour is seemless from the pick up from your hotel & transfer to the boat. Be prepared for a little bit of a ride (1.5hrs) from your hotel to the beach. There are speed bumps every 10 minutes along the way so the vehicle (bus) needs to stop for them. Depending on the tour dictates the type of boat you are on to get to Paradise Island. If you want to zip through the Mangroves you will be in a large fishing boat with rows for seating. The team is very safe providing life jackets and the captain is incredible at navigating waves to ensure the smoothest ride to the island. The island can be busy depending on how many tours are going at the same time. They provide fruit on the island (pineapple, papaya etc). I would bring additional snacks. We made sandwiches at the resort and also brought some bread for the fish when snorkelling. Forgot to mention that they stop along the way on the bus ride (about an hour) for a bathroom break at a store which is where the lunch is on the way back. We bought beers here as they only provide unlimited rum, soft drinks and water on the island. The island is fun to swim, take pictures and play in the waves. Post island they take you to the Mangroves and they zip quickly with the boat which is a fun adventure for the kids. Last is the bus back to lunch which was delicious. Spaghetti, fried chicken, rice, beans and salad. Its a huge buffet and you won’t leave hungry! I am not a beans guy but they were delicious. Last, I would bring some tip money. Each person on this team (driver, lunch staff, guide, boat captain) were so attentive, friendly and hard working to make this excursion a great memory for your family. I highly recommend.

I had done many excursions but as the paradise island book with Mr Miguel Batista adrenalinetours online even without knowing him physically it was a friendly and attentive quality treatment, from the beginning to the end of the excursion the island is a dream , the quias very good the first foods go the guests make all your reservations tours with adrenalinetours

So all around a very nice tour from start to finish. All on time, which is not always normal. On this small atoll it is beautiful, but later it gets very crowded, as a lot of boats arrive there. Particularly suitable for snorkeling. It and drinking were also very good. Miguel we will be back and thank you again for everything
