We went to this port on our last cruise and got a guided tour and absolutely LOVED it! It included the places you showed and also the Amber Factory. It was really cool to go there but you are absolutely correct on the sales pitch at the end. If you're not interested in spending a LOT of money on their expensive (but gorgeous) jewelry, I'd recommend skipping the shop portion after seeing the amber factory.

So used to seeing you on trains, I had no idea you also had this kind of content! I will be visiting Puerto Plata in January and can't wait to explore❤

I’ve been to the DR many times and never went to the pink street!!! We are there next week. If I can talk my hubby into leaving Taino Bay we will take a pic! Thanks for another great video!!

Hello from Montreal - hope you visit here one day... Great video! It felt so immersive, like I was transported there! I always thought Allie was of Indian/Asian descent so this was a cute surprise. Thank you for all the content, love your channel and very much look forward to all your videos!

Thank you guys for all of your awesome cruise content! We have an upcoming cruise that has a stop in Puerto Plata & I’m so excited to check it out!! I would also LOVE to know where I can find those really cute sandals you have on around 6:09 😢

The port area reminds me of Costa Maya port area. Looking forward to exploring this port in the future. Thanks for the video.

I thought the same thing alot like Costa Maya

Thanks very much for this video! Really nice photo quality and editing, and you're a clear, warm, likeable narrator/guide. (First time I've seen this channel.) A question: I'll have a day in Puerto Plata in November (NCL cruise). I generally prefer to skip the cruise line's "guided tour" of any port, island, whatever. I prefer to strike out on my own, get past the rows of t-shirt and jewelry shops, and explore the more "real" parts of the culture: interact with some locals, see how they live. This video makes me confident that I can walk from the port to the city. Will I find any "authentic" DR there? If not, could I keep going maybe a few blocks and find some neighborhoods (locals' stores, restaurants, bars, etc.)? Thanks!

Awesome Thank you Will be there next. Month. Any other tips?

I thought you were Latina!! 🙌🏽 lol I could feel the vibes though the video Wepa! 🇵🇷❤️🇩🇴

Ah we loved it too!

question.. we are arriving by cruise ship on Tuesday to amber cove. is downtown walkable from the amber cove cruise ship?

Places seemed very close in town from the port. Many tours offer these same destinations, but it seems you could do them on your own. Would this be correct, or do you need and excursion? Thank you for the video and sharing with us all.

How long would you say the full walk was to go downtown, umbrella street, pink street, central square? Also, is the amber museum worth it?

Going to Puerto Plata for the first time next month! Was that lazy river area part of a resort or open to anybody?

Was there like armed military at the port pier at all?

Are there clean restrooms around the area of umbrella and pink street?

Yeah because the restrooms here in America are filthy.

How safe is it there?

I did not feel safe Mike. So much harassment from taxi drivers!!! Several people from the ship accumulated and we walked into the town. It’s a interesting place, but I would recommend an excursion here.

I like Mangos
