Fifi Jewelry Amber Museum is one of the most visited places in Puerto Plata. Inside, it hosts one of the biggest resin exhibitions in the Dominican Republic. The country has the most important amber deposits in the world; moreover, blue, green or warm honey colours are unique from this area due to its volcanic activity.
Here, you can discover the history of this vegetal-origin precious stone. One of the most important stones of this museum is a 40cm lizard conserved inside a piece of amber. This resin can hold prehistoric fossils of plants and little animals on its inside due to its sticky nature, that turns this stone in subject of study. It is said that Steven Spielberg was inspired by this museum when he was working on his famous film Jurassic Park.

Private tour of the city!
Had a really good time on this tour. Alex was amazing. He was very personable and took us to some very nice spots. The ride was comfortable and air-conditioned. Not sure how often this happens, but it was also a private tour (just me and my partner). Either no one else booked our time slot or they just have a lot of drivers for the tours? Alex also took pictures for us whenever we wanted him to. He gave us tips about which souvenir shops to purchase things from where the items aren't overpriced. I would recommend this tour.

Making the vacation an extremely memorable experience
If this is your first time to the port of Puerto Plata, The city tour top sights is an excellent way to see all that Puerto Plata has to offer, including dining, shopping, and sightseeing. Our tour guide, Elvin, took us to additional spots that we requested to see and gave us history and insights of each location. He also made sure pictures were taken so that we could keep and share our memories..

There is a lot of walking on this tour. We showed up early and our tour guide, Elvis, took us around early as well. The cathedral was closed the day we went so we could only take pictures of the outside. Saw a lot in the time alloted.

Tour with a view!
We had a great tour. Danny was very knowledgeable. Our tour was in an air conditioned van with a group of 4 other people from our cruise. The pick up spot was a little confusing but everyone helped guide us there. You have to walk outside the port gates to the street which was a bit of a walk. Besides everything in the description our tour guide took us to a local lookout outside bar with amazing views of the ocean and city where we had a beer and empanadas. Nice tour!

Major disappointment. We...
Major disappointment. We I guess came into the wrong port at amber cove and no one there had a clue about this super buggie company was. We waited an hour and finally someone came. We had a taxi guy who was wonderful. His name was Candido and he really did his best to show us around. I'm not sure we did all the tour stated but seriously this island is NOT that big and you should have someone at both ports and provide some guidance. Viator really needs to check out the local companies first!!!
Operator response
Hi Donna, thank you for taking the time to share this, and we’re truly sorry for the confusion and the delay at Amber Cove. That is not the experience we want for any guest, especially cruise passengers who have limited time on shore.

They were very patient, but be sure to wear walking shoes. The pickup point is a ways from the port, but the drivers are really nice.
