Though Puerto Plata is known for its land excursions, water-based adventures here offer unforgettable ways to enjoy the region’s natural beauty. Sosúa, a nearby beach town, is a top spot for snorkeling excursions, where you can explore vibrant coral reefs teeming with tropical fish and underwater wonders just offshore. The clear, calm waters make it ideal for both beginners and seasoned snorkelers.

For those seeking a thrill, the famous Damajagua Waterfalls offer an exciting day of climbing, sliding, and jumping from cascading falls into cool river pools. Guided tours lead you through a series of up to 27 waterfalls, each offering unique jump heights for adventurers of all levels, set against a lush tropical backdrop.

If you're looking for a family-friendly experience, Puerto Plata also offers the chance to swim with dolphins at Ocean World Adventure Park. Here, you can interact with dolphins in a controlled, safe environment, learning about these incredible creatures while creating lifelong memories. From snorkeling in Sosúa to waterfall jumps and dolphin encounters, Puerto Plata’s water-based excursions bring excitement and beauty to your Caribbean experience.
