Highlights

Escape the resort and discover the real Dominican Republic on this full-day Hacienda adventure in Vuelta Larga, Puerto Plata. Set on a working ranch surrounded by tropical jungle and rolling countryside, this all-in-one experience is the top-rated combo tour on the North Coast — and the only one that brings together monkeys, exotic birds, horses, buggies, a stable visit, and an authentic Dominican lunch under one roof. What makes this experience unique? Unlike crowded tourist parks, Hacienda Polanco is a living, breathing family farm. You'll explore it by buggy, on horseback, on foot, and through the eyes of its animals — an immersive journey that cruise passengers, families, couples, and solo adventurers consistently rate as the highlight of their Caribbean trip.

Itinerary

  1. Spend an adventurous day in the outskirts of Puerto Plata by racing through the countryside in an off-road buggy, riding horseback along a scenic trail and enjoying a pristine beach. After an orientation at the Puerto Plata to ensure that you maximize the experiences, the thrills will begin in earnest. As you race off into the wilds in a caravan of ATV buggies, the natural beauty of the Dominican Republic will take center stage. Few adventures are more exhilarating, especially after a rain as the mud will be flying. The horseback ride will also be immensely fulfilling but the mood will be more relaxed and the setting more peaceful. The only sounds will be those of nature and the rhythmic clip-clop of the horse’s hooves. then at the beach, where you will be free to do most anything you please.

About Puerto Plata

Puerto Plata is a seaside city on the Dominican Republic's north coast, with a cable car up Mount Isabel de Torres, a Spanish fort and Victorian houses.

Puerto Plata sits on the Atlantic coast in the shadow of Isabel de Torres, a green mountain topped with a statue of Christ and reached by cable car. In town, the sixteenth-century San Felipe Fortress guards the seafront Malecón, and the old centre keeps wooden Victorian houses painted in bright colours around the central park. The Amber Museum displays Dominican amber, often with insects trapped inside.

Top-ranked sights in Puerto Plata: Fort San Felipe (Fortaleza San Felipe), Damajagua Falls (27 Charcos), Amber Museum (Museo Del Ámbar).
