That's one of the big bus companies that travel between SD and PP. The buses are comfortable, with reclinable seats, music and/or a movie (with Spanish audio) onboard and they're very punctual. They don't have direct buses but they stop at the big cities. A single ticket to PP costs 270 pesos (around 8US) and they have hourly departures between 6am and 7pm.
To see the schedules from SD or from the many places they travel to, access the link below and click on "Horarios" and then choose either "Horarios desde Santo Domingo" or "Horarios desde el interior" to see the schedules they have. "En la mañana" means in the morning and "En la tarde" means in the afternoon.
Address in Puerto Plata: c/Camino Real esq. José E. Kunhardt.

No this tip is not about the movie 'Taxi Driver' with Robert De Niro, but about a ‘reliable’ taxi driver in Puerto Plata.
He’s name is 'Segundo', and is recommendable - just always remember to agree on the price before getting in the cab. Theme: Car/Motor HomePhone: 809 499 7761

This park contains an unique Victorian style gazebo. It can also serve as a reference point in the old city for finding one's way. As is the case everywhere in the DR, the park has more than its fair share of touts looking to steer you towards souvenir shops in exchange for a commission. Leave a Comment

The Ocean World is a new (opened in March 2004) theme park at Cofresi, just outside Puerto Plata.
In the Park you have the opportunity to interact one-on-one with dolphins, sea lions, sharks, stingrays, exotic tropical birds, meet tigers, walk through a tropical forest, swim in the Tiger Grotto pool and much more.
When you are swimming with the dolphins, I found it all very scheduled and in a tight program. I have been swimming with dolphins other places where the dolphins were freer to do what they want to do, and only came to me if they want to "talk" with me.
But it's a beautiful (and rather expensive) park, so if you haven’t been swimming with dolphins before, you could consider to go to the park.

Originally built in 1540 by the Spaniards, this fort was used as a prison until the mid 20th Century. The site in infamous amongst the population as a place where most of DR's patriots were imprisoned at one time or another. Leave a Comment Address: Malecon

A visit to Mount Isabel de Torres is a must in Puerto Plata. You take the seven-minute cable car (“Teleferico”) ride up the mountainside to the top of Mount Isabel de Torres (792 meters).
On top of the mountain you will find botanical gardens, a statue of Christ (similar to the one in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil), a restaurant and several souvenir shops – in addition, of course, to the breathtaking views of Puerto Plata and the surrounding ocean.
I think the best time to go is in the morning, but don’t go if it is a cloudy day!
Admission fee: 200 peso.

 Carneval by ValbyDK
The Dominicans really know how to party. There is music and dancing everywhere - and off course - some rum. You don't have to join the party - you can just watch how the Dominicans enjoy it.
The picture is from the carnival in February 2007. Address: El Malecón

 The factury by ValbyDK
It's free to visit the factory, and you don't have to book a tour. We just took at taxi from Puerto Plata to the factory.
First you go into a small cinema where they show you a short movie (15 minutes) about the history of the factory. Then you are guided into the factory, and you end the tour in a little shop. In the shop you can taste different types of rum and - off course - buy bottles and different Brugal merchandise.
My favourites are ’Extra Viejo’ and ’Añejo’... Address: Puerto Plata

There are two city parks in the old part of Puerto Plata: Parque Luperón and Parque Central.
Parque Luperón is a quiet place with a statue of Gregorio Luperón and shaded benches. (Gregorio Luperón was a successful general in the war against the Spains in the 1860s).
Parque Central (or Parque Independencia) is the gathering place in Puerto Plata, and the Park/Square is surrounded by the City Hall, the Palace of Justice and other government office buildings. Parque Central is a good starting place for a little sightseeing in Puerto Plata.
