VIP tour to Paradise Island & The Mangroves
Overview
The VIP tour to Paradise Island starts early in the morning because we like to get to the island before all the other tourists arrives. It is an amazing feeling to be alone on the island. This tour is a great way to spend with your family and friends.
The pick up time is at 5:30 am from Cabarete, 6:00 am from Sosua and at 6:30 am from Puerto Plata.
First we drive to Punta Rucia and from there with a speed boat to " Cayo Arena " ( the local name of Paradise Island ), where turquoise water and white sand will welcome you. On the Paradise Island you will get fresh fruits and drinks. Discover the bright colorful reef with all kinds of fishes on our snorkeling tour, or just enjoy the sun and the beach at this beautiful place.
Before lunch we visit the national park of Monte Cristi with its mangroves.
On the way back we will make a stop at Playa Estero Hondo to have look at the Manatees ( sea cows ).
