Join our Cayo Arena Day Trip Puerto Plata and discover one of the Dominican Republic’s most breathtaking natural treasures: a tiny sandbar surrounded by turquoise waters and colorful coral reefs. Whether you are staying in Puerto Plata, Sosúa, or Cabarete, this excursion includes hotel pick-up and drop-off for a seamless journey to paradise.

Your adventure begins with a scenic ride along the north coast to the fishing village of Punta Rucia, where a speedboat will be waiting. The boat trip across crystal-clear waters takes you to Cayo Arena, also known as Paradise Island, a postcard-perfect destination that feels like a dream.

On arrival, you’ll have plenty of time to relax on the powdery white sand and swim in warm Caribbean waters. Snorkeling equipment is included, allowing you to explore the surrounding coral reefs, home to schools of tropical fish and vibrant marine life. It’s one of the best snorkeling spots in the Dominican Republic.

After your island time, the tour continues with a mangrove safari through the Monte Cristi National Park. These protected mangroves are one of the country’s most important ecosystems, offering unique scenery and the chance to learn about local biodiversity.

A delicious Dominican lunch is served during the day, along with refreshing drinks from the open bar. Finally, you’ll head back by boat to Punta Rucia and return to Puerto Plata, Sosúa, or Cabarete by evening.

This day trip is perfect for couples, families, and groups who want a mix of relaxation and adventure. Combining snorkeling, beach time, Dominican cuisine, and eco-tourism, it’s one of the most unforgettable experiences you can have on the north coast of the Dominican Republic.
