Puerta Plata Downtown & Beach On Your Own

Grab your swimsuit, sunglasses and sunscreen for a leisurely excursion that begins with a sightseeing tour through downtown Puerta Plata and ends on Playa Dorada beach. Once you arrive, you'll travel along the bustling city streets and disembark for photos at Plaza Independencia, one of the city's largest tourist and cultural attractions. Admire the views of the San Felipe Fortress, the oldest standing structure in Puerto Plata, as you walk along the Malecon and rejoin your shuttle. Next stop is Blue Jack Tar, a private beach for cruise ship guests. Relax and unwind, rent a sun lounger, stroll the sun soaked sand and drive into the welcoming waters. When you're ready to return to the ship, reboard the bus for a final stop at the Plaza in Playa Dorada for souvenir shopping.
