Overview

Discover history, culture, and flavors of Puerto Plata on a city tour lasting approx 3 hours.

Begin at Rum factory, where you’ll learn about Dominican rum and its production. Continue to Rainbow Gift Shop and Jewelry Factory to explore amber jewelry and browse local souvenirs.

Next, visit La Chocolatera to discover the chocolate-making process, followed by Emanuel Premium Cigars to learn about traditional cigar craftsmanship.

Explore colorful Umbrella Street and Pink Street, then visit Central Park and the Cathedral in the historic city center. End your tour at the Fort of San Felipe, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.

Transportation is provided in a private, air-conditioned van. The itinerary includes short walks between nearby attractions, so guests should be comfortable walking short distances. The cigar factory may expose visitors to tobacco smoke; guests may skip this stop.

If you request an earlier return to the port, we will accommodate your wishes, which may shorten the tour.
