Runners Adventures, Puerto Plata, Caribbean Your tour starts with an air-conditioned ride from your resort to take you to the northern coast and the mountainous landscape of Punta Rucia. This quaint fishing village features a gorgeous soft sand beach nestled among the green tropical mountains. But you’re not staying here long. Instead, board a luxury catamaran and pass through the area’s flora and fauna in a natural mangrove waterway that opens to a turquoise blue sea dotted with coral reefs. The journey to Cayo Arena could even afford you a glimpse of the manatees that call the Dominican mangroves home, as well as dolphins at play in the sea. 300 minutes
Punta Rucia, Punta Rucia, Caribbean Stop by the beach to take a ride on our boat towards to Cayo Arena
Cayo Arena, Monte Cristi, Caribbean Halfway to your destiny, hop in a natural pool in the middle of the ocean, where you will enjoy great champagne, served by the attentive staff.
Once arriving at Cayo Arena, your boat will drop anchor and you’ll have a chance to swim in the warm sea. Snorkel above the coral and take in the colorful fish and sea life swimming beneath the water that’s practically crystal clear. Then swim up to the island’s beach, where a traditional Dominican buffet lunch will be provided for your visit. You’ll have time to soak in the sun as you drink a cold one right on the sand before sailing back to Punta Rucia, and your awaiting vehicle will take you back to your resort at the end of a relaxing day.

Everything was excellent. The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable, creating a great atmosphere throughout the experience. The snorkeling was incredible, and the cameraman did an outstanding job capturing the moments. This tour is highly recommended.
The only disappointment was the not being available lobster, which I had been looking forward to, was not available for lunch. Aside from that, everything was exceptional.

Spent more time getting there than the actual excursion. Wish more time was spent in the water. The actual island is smaller than in the pics. The guide was ok. Was hard to understand at times. The staff on the boat were constantly taking our drinks/plates without seeing if we were done with them. Need to relax a bit. As soon as we got to the place before getting on the boat one immediately tried to rush us to take our shoes off. They seemed so rushed. The food after the boat tour was great. Really don’t think it’s worth the price though.
