What can make a shore day harder
Book direct with us
Meet your driver in the Amber Cove lobby — not on the road outside the port after a long walk in the heat.
At the end of your excursion, your driver brings you back inside the terminal so returning to your ship is simple.
Every ship day on our cruise schedule has its own page with your hours in port, the weather and the three tours that fit your time ashore.
After your reservation confirmation, a separate email gives you the port meeting point, your driver's ID badge photo and contact number.
You give us your ship’s arrival time when you book, and we plan your return for at least 90 minutes before departure, about an hour before a typical all-aboard.
We’re not the port or a cruise line. We’re a Puerto Plata company that only runs excursions for cruise passengers, rated 4.7 out of 5 from 3,202 Tripadvisor reviews.
