“Love the Crew: Sammie, Felix, and Raul. Got a free shuttle pickup at the cruise port at Taino Bay. The crew was very attentive and friendly. Arrived at the park after ~20 minutes drive. There is ~ 30 minutes moderate hike up to the falls. The slide/jumps down the falls worth every pennies. Highly recommended.”

“Definitely would recommend this excursion to anyone who visits the DR. Was very fun and exciting and everything felt completely safe. It’s about a 15 minute walk outside the main gate where they hold up a sign so you know who/where to walk up to. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful and the ride itself was an amazing experience.”

Taste rum, lunch, cigars, history, and mountain views on a five-hour Puerto Plata shore tour from Amber Cove or Taino Bay.

“The tour was modified due to cable car maintenance as we drove up the mountain. Beautiful views from the mountain top and our tour guide, Carlos, took some very neat pictures of us. We visited the rum factory for rum sampling after the mountain visit. Amber Museum was the next stop before our lunch stop at a quaint restaurant. Carlos modified the tour at our request and our wonderful driver, Max, drove us safely back to the cruise ship. We had an enjoyable day.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 193 reviews · from $50

Review of Puerto Plata’s 3-hour city tour, with rum, chocolate, amber, cigars, historic sights, port pickup, value, and practical tips.

“This booking was created by a taxi driver who isn't associated with any tourism , which led to many suspicious things. The driver did not offer any water, sodas etc that were part of the above package. He did not speak English, which led to more confusion and hectic. Had to loop in local port officials to get the authenticity of the driver, and as we have already prebooked the service and couldn't cancel on the day, just went with it. Highly disappointed with the experience.”

It exceeded our expections, and so glad we chose Tip Top, because it is "Tip Top" in my book! Loved it!! Don't miss out! If you're looking for an excursion, this it it!! Met lots of nice folks aboard too, and I didn't see anyone that was not having the time of their life! Thanks again, and next time we're down in DR, we'll be back on board!! :)”
