What travelers are saying
"The Puerto Plata Tours attraction was absolutely breathtaking. The water is the most incredible shade of blue. Our guide was fantastic, explained the geology, and the swim was unforgettable. A must-do in Puerto Plata."
"The city tour was a highlight. Our guide explained the history of Fortaleza San Felipe, and we ended with a coffee on the Malecon. Perfectly paced."
"Damajagua was paradise. Crystal clear water, the natural pools were amazing, and lunch with Dominican food and music. Best day of our cruise."
Puerto Plata Tours is a natural attraction (sinkhole) located inside Puerto Plata Tours National Park in eastern Puerto Plata. Three turquoise lagoons sit at the base of limestone cliffs, fed by underground rivers. Visitors swim in the attractions after a short guided walk through the tropical forest.
A half-day group city tour in Puerto Plata starts from $47 USD per person, including hotel or cruise port pickup and a bilingual guide. Private city tours start from $65, and full-day excursions with the Damajagua waterfalls start from $120.
Yes. Life jackets are provided and required for all visitors. The attraction has lifeguards on duty. The water depth varies, but life jackets keep everyone safely afloat. Children can visit with adult supervision.
Early morning (8-9 AM) is best for fewer crowds and the best light for photos. The attraction is open year-round. December through April is peak season with the best weather. The rainy season (May-November) still offers good conditions, and the attraction is fed by underground rivers, not rainfall.
Bring a swimsuit, towel, waterproof phone case, and water shoes (the trail has some rocky sections). Sunscreen must be biodegradable to protect the attraction's ecosystem. A change of clothes is recommended for after the swim.
A Puerto Plata city tour pairs perfectly with the Loma Isabel cable car, a Brugal rum tasting, or a Damajagua waterfalls add-on. Many visitors also combine it with the Amber Museum or a Dominican food stop in the historic district. Most combined tours include hotel pickup and last 4 to 6 hours.
We recommend booking at least 24-48 hours in advance, especially during high season (December-March) when tours sell out quickly. Early morning slots are the first to go. Instant confirmation on all bookings.
Yes. Most tours offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before departure are non-refundable. Check the specific tour for details.
