The Experience
Before You Go
Observe weight and age limits
Operators enforce a 65–265 lb limit and a minimum age/height—check measurements before you book to avoid surprises.
Secure loose items
Bring a small dry bag or leave phones/cameras with staff; lines and wind can easily strip unsecured gear.
Dress for wind and sun
Wear closed-toe shoes, a light long-sleeve top for sun and wind protection, and reef-safe sunscreen.
Arrive early for transfers
Hotel transfers can be bumpy and timed—arrive early and confirm pickup to ensure you don’t miss the float of activities.

Puerto Plata grew as a 19th-century export port; the northern coast’s coastal communities shifted toward tourism mid-20th century, turning fishing coves into resort hubs.
