Why travel with Cleto

Built by people from Puerto Plata

Good to know

Questions cruise guests ask

Will we make it back to the ship in time?

Yes. We schedule cruise departures around your ship's actual arrival and all-aboard time, and every return includes a safety buffer. Long full-day tours such as Cayo Arena are only confirmed for ships with a long enough port call.

Where exactly do we meet at Amber Cove or Taino Bay?

The precise meeting point and your guide's name are sent after booking, because port access rules and excursion exits can change. Both ports are covered.

Do you pick up from hotels outside Puerto Plata city?

Yes. We pick up at hotels in Puerto Plata, Playa Dorada, Cofresí, Sosúa and Cabarete. Other areas can be quoted on request.

What happens if the weather changes?

Waterfall, off-road and boat tours may be modified for safety even when they still operate. If a tour is canceled by the operator, you are refunded or moved to another tour.

Can children join?

Most tours welcome families. Age, height and weight limits apply to activity tours, so please give every child's age when booking so we can confirm eligibility.

How do I pay?

Reserve on WhatsApp or through the website. Depending on the tour you can pay a deposit online and the balance on the day, or pay in full online.
