Puerto Plata’s crown jewel attraction offers a day of hiking through thick forest, crossing footbridges and passing numerous flora before eventually reaching a rocky hilltop where you’ll begin making your way down by jumping or sliding down a series of waterfalls!
The break for surfers is at Playa Encuentro, located between Sosúa and Cabarete, and a half-hour drive from Playa Dorada and Costa Dorada hotels. Described as a “perfect right-hand reef break,” you’ll find the area’s top surf schools right on the beach, ready to take you out into the waves. In true surfing tradition, the best time to catch waves is in the early morning.
