Puerto Plata: The Best Way To Explore This Hidden Gem
Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator provides recommendations for travelers visiting Puerto Plata via cruise ships docking at Amber Cove or Coco Bay. Rather than staying within the port area or utilizing rental cars, cruise line excursions, or taxis, the creator suggests hiring a private driver. This method is presented as a way to save money, particularly for groups, while offering the flexibility to travel at a personal pace without the constraints of a large tour group. The creator notes that travelers should ensure any hired driver is licensed and vetted. During a previous visit, the creator utilized a private driver to visit several locations including coffee shops, Umbrella Alley, Pink Alley, and the Central Square. The driver provided local historical insights and ensured the group remained on course while allowing them to keep belongings secure in the vehicle. This approach allowed the group to complete multiple sightseeing activities and still have time to visit a beach.
