Many travelers have heard stories about Sosúa, but few experience it in a guided, daytime setting that explains what the town is really about. This tour is designed for curious cruise passengers who want to see the real Sosúa, not a typical port excursion. Known for its vibrant attitude, beach culture, and social energy, Sosúa is one of the Dominican Republic’s most talked-about beach towns. With a local guide leading the way, guests can explore comfortably and confidently.

The tour begins with pickup from the Puerto Plata cruise port and a scenic drive to Sosúa, with local insight shared along the way and a welcome drink provided (local beer or water). Upon arrival, you’ll drive through the downtown area along Pedro Clisante and stop at the Playa Alicia waterfront lookout for photos. Depending on the group, you’ll relax at a local restaurant with drinks included, visit the Hard Rock Café Sosúa, & enjoy time at Sosúa Beach to walk, swim, or browse local vendors. Then back to the port.
