Book now The Amber Cove Excursions difference
Your cruise day should begin inside the terminal — not with a crowded bus or a long walk in the heat.
Book direct for a more personal Puerto Plata excursion, pickup in the Amber Cove lobby and a return inside the terminal when your day is done.
What can make a shore day harder
The usual cruise-excursion frustrations
- A packed large bus can turn your excursion into a long day of stops and waiting.
- Some local operators collect guests on the road outside the port.
- That can mean a 15–20 minute walk under the Puerto Plata sun before your day even starts.
Book direct with us
Meet your driver inside Amber Cove.
- Inside-terminal pickup: meet in the Amber Cove lobby, not out on the road.
- Driver details by email: get the exact meeting point, your driver\'s ID badge photo and contact number before your tour.
- Return inside the terminal: get back to Amber Cove without the stressful walk.
Pickup inside the terminal
Meet your driver in the Amber Cove lobby — not on the road outside the port after a long walk in the heat.
Return inside Amber Cove
At the end of your excursion, your driver brings you back inside the terminal so returning to your ship is simple.

Amber Cove Cruise Port
Amber Cove is a premier cruise port destination located in Maimon Bay, just outside Puerto Plata on the Dominican Republic's stunning north coast. Opened in 2015, this purpose-built port welcomes hundreds of thousands of cruise passengers each year.
The port complex features Caribbean-style architecture, a massive pool area, zip lines, shopping, and dining — but the real adventure begins when you step outside the port gates with one of our expertly guided excursions.
