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.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Walk the rocky headlands at low tide for quiet sea pools and scenic photos
  • Try local mangú or fresh ceviche at the small beach eatery behind the main restaurant for authentic flavors

Wildlife

  • Brown pelican
  • Reef fish such as parrotfish and sergeant majors

Conservation Note

Operators encourage reef-safe sunscreen and limit motorized watercraft to protect nearshore coral; visitors should stick to marked swim areas and avoid touching marine life.

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.
